BATTLE OF THE DANCE CREWS SEASON TWO




BRACE YOURSELF FOR ONE FIERCE BATTLE OF CHOREGRAPPHY


I should be thanking my Muslim brethren s for this day today, I mean Edi Mubarak was a well deserved break from my daily hustles to do something I like, blogging. It’s been a while and frankly, I think am loosing the touch and the zeal. It took me a while before I got excited for this.For a second I thought of ignoring my deep conviction to write, this for the record has never happened before and that’s why am caught up in this wave of emotions because today should be exciting, partly because of the news I bear  for you.

Last year I met a group of highly experienced, skillful team of youths that were so vibrant and energized to make a complete turn for dancers from their events. And so, I sat to listen, observed and engaged them plan a whole event that proved to be one of the dopest shows for dancers last year. yes its BATTLE OF THE DANCE CREWS SEASON ONE that made heads turn, audience scream and opened doors to crews like Platinum and the most acclaimed girl crew, Above Limit. It was ecstatic and though as Fred Wachira (Swap Unit Logistics Manager) explained it, a tough road, they pulled a crazy show, one of a kind show. The lighting was on point, selection of judges-wow professional, and the influx of Kenya celebs family could not be missed. Consequently this year I ventured to meet Fred Wachira, for a chat and when I asked him what Battle of the dance crews was all about he excitedly pointed out,

“we are dedicated to give a great stage, lighting, pull a large crowd and challenge for strong choreography-The ultimate battle of choreography and technique which will culminate in an event dubbed BATTLE OF THE DANCE CREWS SEASON TWO”

The event is well structured and will test crews on eight areas surrounding dance as a performing art:

Choreography | Synchronization | Creativity | Props | Stage Utilization | Communication | Intro and Outro | Energy



Judges are real dancers, professional to be specific and well vetted. During a meeting between swap unit and the crews, dancers pointed out the need for a real stage for real dancers as they were challenged to produce value in their content. Daniel Maina, who is the CEO Swap Unit, urges fans to come and support their crews in this ultimate battle which will not only be on stage but on social media under the #BOTDC2 #givingyouthebest.
