Elva Learns African Dance

Elva delivers surprises to her latest album Three Faces of Eve (三面夏娃). For her first single More More More, she invited Rihanna and Ciara's dance instructor Luam for a African dance choreography.

She trained almost 6 hours everyday for the African dance, which combines strength and beauty in the movements, giving her dizzy spells. "I felt like dying after the first day. I'm almost paralysed when I reached home!"
Since her leg injury in end 2006, she has had few dance performance. After resting for more than a year, she put her injury behind her and spent millions of dollars to invite Luam from the United States. At the end of the five-day non-stop training, she said "I will survive!"

Heeding Luam's advice, Elva ditched the masculine dance steps and opted for more feminine and rhythmic movements, showing her S-shaped figure many times in the dance. Luam also suggested her to show some facial expression according to the dance movements, displaying her sexy and wild side. This posed a very huge challenge for Elva.

Elva does not like to turn on the air-conditioner while dancing, causing the room to be so stuffy that she almost fainted. But she was strong-willed and could always dance continuously for hours. She explained that she's very uptight while dancing and once she stops, she would lose the momentum and she would be nervous when she resumes dancing. Afraid that she might not performed up to standard, she said "This dance is equivalent to 3 dances!"

Although Elva said that she has no problem with her leg injury, in fact the long hours of practice had caused her leg to shrink such that she had to tip toe every morning when she waked up. Only after 10 minutes of warm up and massage can she walk normally again. Therefore, she never failed to take enough supplements and collagen during her dance practices.
