What is up people! Just came back from an awesome event known as the World of Dance! Not only does this jam features bboy battles, it also features choreography as well as many other styles of dances that are known to the mankind.
After a few weeks off of bboying due to schoolwork, I looked very much toward this jam! Some big names and some nasty bboys gathered there at Copernicus Theatre tonight, including Ground Syndrome, Self X, Chicago Tribe, Crooks, and many other well known bboys. The bboy battle was hosted by none other than the Man of God. Surprisingly, he's also a pretty darn good DJ that dropped some nasty beats for poppers, jerkers, krumpers, and other styles of dance.
After some serious decision making, Akimbo, Justinian, Satori, and myself decided to participate in the 2v2 bboy battles. We knew we probably would not go far with all these nasty bboys present, but it would provide some good experience as well as set a standard as to where we stand among these bboys. However, luck was not on either team's side. Akimbo and Justinian had to face off against the Chicago Tribe in first round while Satori and I faced off against a solo member of Brickheadz. Nonetheless, each of us represented and received props during each of our turns. It was to no one's surprise that both teams got eliminated.
Later on, Ink-motionz decided to be part of the all styles battle. The first round was a showcase of all the participants. Ink-motionz killed the the beat in the most disgusting sense while he was on the dance floor. However, he did not get past the selection. We were rather surprised. But hey, there is nothing you can do...
Unfortunately, Satori fell ill and was permitted to rest in the VIP room. The rest of us decided to check out the choreography section of the jam for a little bit before formulating a plan to return home. After a while, we decided to check on Satori. But not long after, a text from Ink-Motionz saying "POREOTICS!" immediately summoned us back down to the lower level in order to see the performance of ABDC season 5 champions. Swear to god, TV never does justice to the dancers movements. I was simply amazed beyond my wildest imagination.
Shortly after the Poreotics performed, we decided to take off. We learned that the solo member of the Brickheadz won the bboy battle. Man...what a guy. Simply cannot believe he won on his own in a 2v2 bboy battle. But nonetheless...mad props to him!
Although we had some complications upon arrival of my house, this complication allowed the crew to chill together for a little bit more. This was the first and last time that the whole crew got together since the beginning of Thanksgiving break. Tomorrow, each of us will return to our respective college and get ready to embrace the end of the semester. Until then, knightz! Keep working hard at school and don't forget to practice every now and then! We will see each other again in 2 weeks!
