R 16 Korea 2013.... Real Battle On....

Dance is passion, style, adventure, thrill….and life. Its bridging the arts with science now, it’s becoming a subject to teach and learn, a sports to play and challenge, an industry to run, a thrill to excel in, a passion to live and a life to be proud of.

Competition always makes things to grow from good to be excellently perfect. Close battles, winning and losing, sportsman spirits lead anything to new directions and after all it is the universal law to be respected everywhere….”Survival of the fittest.”

Dancing is no more simple enough, it’s categorized in various types and levels, while the most famous and interesting are Popping, Locking, and Free Styles dancing.

It was May 25, 2013 The R16 Korea 2013 Qualifier  Competition was held at the Performing Arts Hall of city of “Uijeongbu” near Seoul. Korean Tourism Organization KTO was as usual one of the organizers of this event. This city is very far away from my city Ansan and it took more than 2 hours for me and my friends to reach there at the venue of this great show. We reached a bit late, and  I was worried about the tickets as all tickets were sold out about 2 to 3 hours before the show is started…but Thanks KTO, I got my ticket after all. All tickets were standing tickets….. but anyway we were in the hall standing beside the live covering T.V camera.

 

Performances of International Judges obviously were best of all. They proved within few minutes that they deserve to judge the battles and decide about the winner. The performances from all judges are now the part of my favorite videos play list treasure.

Here is link of a video on youtube, of Performances Poppoing Judges.

The Popping competition was one of the best one. Girls in all scenarios gave equally tough time to all boys.

In Locking Competition was awesome too…A Lady Luna knocked out the guy with her flexible foot moves, and rhythmic locking with music.

Then B Boys Crew Battles… the real competition like a live wire, all members of b boys team were competent enough to give the opponents a real tough time.  I already knew some of the members in the competition as they were in the B boyz free style 3 on 3 event held in at KTO headquarters in Seoul last month.

Morning of Owl were the deserving winners in this category. Their team moves were very fascinating and beautifully exhibited.

A great show with respect to quality of dancing, judging, audiences, level of competition , excitement, and adventure.

 

In the end thnx to KTO for providing us another opportunity to witness another great show of Korea.
