Katoon Network and Famous Strike at TINGE Hip Hop Dance Competition 2009

Tinge Hip Hop Dance Competition 2009 was organized by Spritzer and held at Times Square. Bobby Tan was one of the judges as well as Ikuyo and Trinity (Dancecologist).


Famous Strike had added in 2 new members – Kim and AD that made up of 6 members a team. Von was unable to participate because she had a final exam paper to sit. Their practice time was unstable as most of the team members were busy with own work.


Famous Strike did not win in the competition. They had over fatigue themselves until they did not enjoy on stage. It is a good experience for them to learn.


But in the other hand, part of Street Nation dancers, Kelvin and Alex who formed the Katoon Network had proudly won Champion in the competition. Their brilliant animation routines had greatly impressed and thrilled the judges!!!


Good job everyone!


Judges: Trinity and Bobby


Judges: Trinity and Ikuyo


The Top 3: Katoon Network (Champion), Floor Fever (1st runner-up) and ECX (2nd runner-up)
