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.
NO. OF DJ'S AT BATTLE OF THE DANCE CREWS |
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”
OFFICIAL BATTLE OF THE DANCE CREWS POSTER |
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.
