Jementah Dance Competition 2009

Dance competition in Jementah, a small town before reaching Segamat in Johor. Famous Strike was informed 2 days before the competition from Move.

On Monday afternoon, they left KL to Jementah in a car of five: AD, Eric, Nic, Yvonne and Von. Half way on the highway, their car was almost out of petrol. So they had to move slow and about 5km away from Jejantas Rest House, they switched off the air-cond.

It took about 2 and half hours to reach the venue. It was held on a field. The stage was huge. There were 20 participating teams, 2 teams from KL including Project Elementz and Famous Strike.

All the participants were told last minute that they had to dance 2 rounds. Fortunately Famous Strike had 2 routines to perform. Judges involved Dennis and Chris from ECX, Maxx from Ultimaxx, Noel from Twister Genies and Wansmoof from Style From Beyond (Singapore).

Famous Strike, Twister Random, Twister Genies, Twister Spirit, Move, Shadow Emotion, Project Elementz, Fox and one JB BBoy crew managed to make it into Top 9.

Although Famous Strike did not manage to make it into Top 4, they were crowned The Best Costume and were selected in Top 8. As commented by judges, they preferred their first routine in the first round which would have made Famous Strike to be in Top 4. They got a little disappointed over their second routine as the energy dropped, compared to the other teams.

Von's purple skinny was torn in the beginning which made her movements small and unsteady. When you face difficulty during a performance, don't bother and keep moving. Don't make doubts overshadow yourself. Dance freely and make people proud of that courage.

Crowned The Best Costume. The judges love the fierceness of Purple and Black. :)

This is how big a torn whole could get. If you want to wear skinny in your performance, make sure it is damn stretchable! This purple skinny had been worn many times by Von in competitions and shows, and it got torn right at that time. How unlucky. :(
