Just a really quick update for yall; especially all of our dancers further down south from the DMV!
Virginia Tech’s Asian American Student Union Spring Concert this Friday is featuring the DMV’s very own Boogie Bots Crew and many peoples’ favorite singer/songwriter, Jeremy Manongdo, aka ‘Passion’.
Another dance movie? Yeah, mayne! From the creators of You Got Served, comes yet another dance movie. And by the looks of the trailer, it looks like they got it right — dancing wise. It definitely looks like a West Side storyish Hip Hop dance remix catered to the new dancing generation, and by the looks of who’s casted (Hok from Quest Crew, Mike Song and Tony Tran from Kaba Modern, and The Company/GEN2’s Shaun Evaristo, to name a few…) the dancing will nothing but straight hype and fire. However as with most dance movies, the story ends up really cheesy, predictable, or just plain corny. If this one has super powers as it suggests, then the gimmick might backfire. Eitherway, its just so refreshing to see the community dancers from our west coast counterpart make it onto the big screen! Mad love from the EC to ya’ll!
See who you can spot out and post it as a reply!
The official line up towards this year’s PRELUDE EC 2009 has been released! See ya’ll on the east side!
Results are in! This year’s FLASH Dance Competition 2009 winners are…
The the top 3 judges picks were rhythm city, hip hop theory, and fr3sh juniors. Of the three, Rhythm City was eliminated, moving Hip Hop Theory and Fr3SH Juniors to the final battle round.
More updates and recaps to come. (Major thanks to Marc Andre Densing for the info!)
As you all know, WOD is coming to NYC in JUNE. If you’ve heard of World of Dance or seen the footage on YT, then you know this is a pretty big deal for everyone in the community. The networking, the reach, the audience, and just the overall experience is second to none. However, before this amazing dance/convention event hits up NYC, WOD will start up at Pomona on April 4th.
Peep this year’s flyer as some of our community will be breaking barriers by being some of the first from the east side (as well as the dirty south) to represent both in exhibition (Fr3sh Dance Company; NJ) and competition (X-Cross Applesauce; NYC). Congrats and good luck to the teams!
So this is nothing dance related, but seeing as how most of our dance community are of the Filipino majority, I think video is well worth posting…also because it is EXTREMELY DOPE. (Besides, there are a couple of cameos from people within our EC Dance Community in this vid!—Rex, Darvi, Suitkace…etc. just to name a few) MABUHAY!
This FRIDAY, check out the OG dance competition that helped start the dance scene in the NYC/NJ area. FLASH Dance Troupe of Seton Hall Univ brings you their annual dance team competition (previously known as FLASH DTC) with a TWIST! This competition differs from their previous versions being that there is only one winner! Top two (scored by the judging panel) of the entire competition get sent to a head to head finals round where each perform a smaller set to the same master mix (previously provided). Winner of finals is determined by crowd vote!
Come out and see what the HYPE is all about!
This & last week, LA has been able to bless the DMV with the presence of Jojo Diggs! Jojo will be teaching this Thursday’s Culture Shock DC Advanced/Professional Company class and workshops in House/Hip Hop/Jazz Funk at Contradiction Dance. If you haven’t heard of her or seen her style/choreography, then you need to get on it!
