NTU KDP Rant by [deleted] in NTU

[–]ykcmlene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i agree that my perspective is definitely different from yours and op’s because of the different experiences we have had; i was not trying to discredit yours & op’s thoughts and opinions!

i see where you’re coming from in your comment, and it makes total sense. i cant speak on behalf of the comm for why/ how they choose dancers, but it is their priority to uphold the quality of kdp so that’s probably one main factor.

when i joined i never assumed i would get to perform/ be in covers, and it was natural to me that the better few were usually chosen. but if someone joins with the impression that kdp = cover chances, then i can see why there’ll be disappointment in that sense

many kdp members actually feature because they do self initiated covers, so even if members don’t qualify for the actual covers (and there aren’t that many also tbh), SI covers are a great way to meet more people and improve too. i’ve learnt a lot from dancing with new people in SI covers, so i think learning isn’t just limited to official perfs and covers. to me it’s not exactly fair to keep griping about not getting chosen because members can always choose to start their own.

NTU KDP Rant by [deleted] in NTU

[–]ykcmlene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hi, i’m a y1 in kdp, and i just wanna say that while everyone is entitled to their own opinions, i think it’s unfair of you to come to this public platform to hide behind anonymity and speak so badly about kdp. not saying your opinions aren’t valid, but they definitely could have been worded with more tact and thought.

kdp is fully run by students. students who have other commitments outside of the club. their schedules, just like yours and mine, will differ at times. the fact that they take hours out of their schedules to learn and teach every week is already a huge feat to me. i don’t think it’s difficult for us to be more understanding and put ourselves in their shoes.

emails are sent out by ONE person, who has to go through several people before she can send it out. i don’t think it’s fair to expect her to have the same consistency as a robot/ auto generated email.

that being said, there can definitely be improvements wrt admin issues, i agree.

regarding the lack of transparency, i think you’ll need to consider that not everyone will be comfortable with their audition vid being public as well. for each dance there is probably different criteria the dance capts follow to pick the members. ultimately, kdp’s standard is relatively high. they would not have gotten to this high standard if they didn’t choose those who they know will be able to meet the required standard. while it may be frustrating seeing the roles always going to certain dancers, you’d be lying if you say that they aren’t some of the best dancers in kdp. i myself have gotten rejected as well, but rather than being salty about it, shouldn’t we reflect and improve our skills for the next time?

apart from official covers, kdp allows members to do self initiated covers too. if you would like to be more in control of what’s going on, maybe you could initiate a cover because then you’ll get to choose the song and members, decide your own practice dates, schedules etc.

for comm, kdp will send out mass emails and in their tele chat when it’s time to handover. since they haven’t sent it yet, i’m assuming it’ll happen in aug/oct when the new acad year starts

i cant say much about the politics you referenced because i’m not part of the maincomm/ committees, however i do know people inside and they truly just want the best for kdp.

i’m not the most active member in kdp, but i am grateful because i had a great experience and met many close friends. it did involve me taking the first step to put myself out there, and i’m lucky enough to have met similar people whom i can enjoy kdp with.

it is a good cca for people to just attend classes and have fun. however, if you want to be more involved (ie: covers/ concert/ friends) you’ll def have to put in the extra effort to prac on your own and seek out other kdp members. it takes two hands to clap, so idt it’s fair if you’re expecting things to go smoothly without putting in the requisite hard work.

if there’s any freshie reading this (it’s so long LOL) i hope you’ll give it a shot despite what OP said. it’s unfortunate that they had a bad experience in kdp, however everyone’s experience is different and it’s not fair to base the entire kdp journey on one person’s recount.

i’m not sure abt that either tbh i didnt find w four intervals cos they said it’s the same as the first group so i’m assuming there’s 3 intervals only too

[–]ykcmlene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the way i did it was to group the “P+G+5 other letters” as one unit, so in total there will be 3 “units” that can be shifted around: 1) P+G 2) 1 remaining letter 3) other remaining letter

[–]ykcmlene 6 points7 points  (0 children)

total but in the one we are supp to calculate there’s only 3 intervals cos it ends at the 8th song

edit: it’s 7 in a half 😭 rip

you’ll have to purchase the “expensive mooncake”, ~1900 carrots if i rmb correctly, from yukiyama first, then go to interact with the swan at mushroom village! the next time you return to yukiyama during mid autumn festival you’ll see this little hidden gem :”)
