Get Down Vancouver WORKSHOP 2009

The Get Down event is a workshop that was created in Calgary featuring masters of hip hop intensively training dancers in their community for an entire week. For the FIRST TIME EVER, Vancouver will host this workshop featuring:

SUGAPOP, CALEAF, POPPING PETE, and GREG CAMBELLOCK JR.!!!!!

Each of these dancers has had a hand in the creation of their respective styles and has been pioneering the dance for 20-30 years all over the world. The depth of their knowledge is definitely something you don’t want to miss out on! This is an amazing opportunity for street dancers of all levels to learn from the very best. Beginner dancers can kick start their dance training by learning a week’s worth of core foundation from the original source, while advanced dancers can strive to reach that elusive next level and really take some significant steps in their dance. Whichever category you are in, you will greatly benefit from this workshop!

Vancouver in Montreal for BUST A MOVE

This was a GREAT trip for the four of us that went out to Bust a Move in Montreal!
Myself (Jaekwong), Abe (aka Smiles Davis), Locking Sun, and Ryo trekked out to the land of Frenchies!

We got their all on Friday. Thanks for Scramblelock taking us in. We stayed with the cats from Toronto (Surreal, Neo, Jerome, Ken, Popsikal Pete). 10 of us all in Marc's apartment - an interesting sight of men in their boxers 1 at a time walking out of the washrooms after showering, people sleeping on hardwood with jackets and no pillows, and 4 guys squished on one bed. GREAT times there.

First night we headed over to an underground loft place in the middle of an area filled with warehouses. This area was perfect for an underground preparty. Then this place flooded with dancers and eventually got too crowded and hot. We got down with the toronto guys and some of the montreal cats. At around 3 we headed home.

Next day was the big day! Most of us with barely any sleep, ate, got ready, and headed over to the Soda Club. This event had the BEST vibe I've ever felt. TONS of dancers and all very high level. Wacking and Hip hop to me had the best battle characters on stage. Finally for popping with the largest entry of almost 60 poppers and that wasnt even all teh poppers in the building. Me and abe both entered. As for locking, sun and ryo entered. I am happy to say that me and abe made it into top 16 past the prelims.

Sun and Ryo in the locking category made it to the finals against trek lock and scramble lock! DOPE ISHHH.. as for Abe and I (Jaekwong), we both got to battle. I battled Monstapop from Montreal and Abe battled another cat from Montreal as well! Unfortunately we both got cut after that and didn't reach quarter finals!

But all in all the event was a BIG learning experience. Hopefully I'll see you all in person and get to share a bit of it with you then! Congrats to Sun, Ryo, and Abe for killin it out there! Vancouveerrrr :D
