NTU FUNK JAM VOL1

Hey! Apparently I'm the only person who didn't do the write-up on SDD :p



Anyway! NTU FUNK JAM VOL.1 was held last Saturday (If you had no idea about it!), and it was a blast!


This event was organised by Fabian from Soul Funky and a few of his other friends from NTU Funkstyles (Nocturnal Nut & Soul Funky). And I believe all of them would have felt accomplished to have the whole event running so successfully.

Being the judge for both Popping and Locking categories, along with Bboy Larry for Breaking, this is also probably the first time that I've seen so many lockers, poppers, and bboys down for the same event. You can probably say that it's the first funk event that we have in Singapore which is being organized by ourselves, PLUS the additional fact that this time, the Popping and Locking categories were specially catered to the younger dancers. (Not gonna touch on the Breaking category)

My truthful opinion? Quite a good event. Achieving a total number of 32 lockers and 24 poppers without the more experienced dancers was an incredibly good turnout. (Where were all the lockers at during FTL2010?!)

It's so hard to judge the popping and locking categories alone! Every decision lies on me myself, and any mistake in it would results in the anger and wrath of the audience (ok I'm just joking hahaha) But truthfully speaking, the competition among the lockers were incredibly tough! I had such a hard time deciding who had to go on the next round. I have to say that my favourite lockers were Uncle Tan and Marzipan! I totally love the chemistry between them, don't you guys agree? Besides that, the competition among poppers were tough too! Mouse and Josh gave a good fight (especially Josh) against Timothy and Melise for the popping side. For the locking side, Augustine and Wei Sheng (WASA) had also displayed their own unique style of locking, up against Darren and Aloysious (Lockers AD)

The final winners were Mouse and Josh (MOSH), Augustine and Wei Sheng (WASA), and Hazrul and (sorry i dont know his name) (FTC) for the popping, locking and breaking categories respectively. A big congratulations to the winners! You guys gave a good fight during the battles.

The committee has put in a painstaking amount of effort to organize the whole event. On behalf of the poppers and lockers, I would like to congratulate, and thank the committee for pulling their hair off and racking their brains just to make the event a successful one. Keep your funds going Soul Funky~!!!



And also just to let you people out there know, I'm actually also organizing a dance event too! The
event name is Get Down! Vol.3, and it's going to be a 1-on-1 Freestyle Hip Hop battle. No gimmicks, no tags, its just going to be strictly street dancing. Check out http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=117430821618902&ref=ts for more details!!!

Review : Singapore Dance Delight Vol. 1

Singapore Dance Delight.... It was something that was just a dream. A few years ago, SDD was like something we all wished would come to Singapore some day...And it did!!! so much sooner than expected. It is really one of my dreams coming true, to be able to take part in a Dance Delight. :) Im sure many would share my sentiments!!

SDD Vol.1 was organized by O-school with main sponsors F&N, AD HIP and as well as our very own Psyk's Sexy Diamond! SD!!! SDD = Sexy Diamond Delights?? hahaa

I must say that this competition is really one of the few times(Maybe only time) that ive seen the whole dance scene come together!!! Its like every group out there from everywhere is in this competition...even the overseas participants!! You can never find another competition (yet) that has this force of attraction!

WE NEED MORE OF THESE SORT OF THINGS SINGAPORE!!! CMON RICH INVESTORS...lets boost the scene with more crazy events!!

SDD Finals was held at Scape Warehouse....The stage is awesome man!!! JDD REPLICA...hahaha....more events should be held there. The only setback was that the audience space wasnt as much as expected. A stage like that can impact much more crowd.

Ohhh and actually, i wished there were more JUDGES !! hahaha...just to see them dance and get to meet them!! Itll be crazy if there were like 8 judges...WOW....crazy impact!!!

Oh and the groups! The groups were all tooooooooo crazy!!! I cant even start to name any cuz all were so good in their own style. Its times like these that I would like to say "It sucks to be the judge" hahaha... I mean, this is really a perfect example of our "Rojak" culture... Every group is strong in what they do best, and its really a plethora of styles!! I was telling some of the groups that maybe SDD should have like 10 winners....each category one...hahaha.

Anyways, do watch out for the DVD... GET IT! SUPPORT LOCAL SCENE AND KEEP A PART OF SINGAPORE DANCE HISTORY WITH YOU ALONG YOUR LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY SET...ahaha
