Hip Hop Mad2Max by Help College (Part 1)

Organized by HELP COLLEGE
HIP HOP MAD2MAX invites all college and university students to participate in this competition!

Prizes:
Champion: RM1000
Runner-up: RM500

Teams will first compete via a showcase(prepared choreography) performance in order to earn themselves a spot in the final two.
The two finalists will then battle it out FREESTYLE(impromptu) to win champion.

-------------------------

So yeah! In our minds we said to ourselves,

" NAIL the showcase performance first, SMOKE the people in the battle after!".

And that was exactly what we did ;)

-------------------------

About a week ago, we were practicing our asses off. We focused alot on the battle. YES. We really wanted to WIN!NO. We wanted to SMOKE!!! We sat and thought of sets that can be used during the battle. It was funny+painful+torturing+ have I mentioned FUNNY???

This is because we have our LION aka LAUHU

• He can be super random at times.

• Shouting out of no where

• ROARING and yes. I MEAN ROARING due to tiredness.

• Trying out things he's never done in the funniest way possible with cute sound effects.

• Poser to The MAX

JARDIAN from DYNAMIX.

Moving on...
We normally start practice at 9pm until early morning
On Thursday night, the day right before the competition, we started at 7pm until 3/4 am...
Last minute ideas on em sets for the battle were being thought of on that night as well!

Before I go on to FRIDAY which is the day of the competition, Let's rewind to the day of the rehearsals shall we?

Young Jian, Meng, my Brother and I went up to KL on the 8/7/09 at about 5pm for the rehearsals.
We took pictures before entering the club!It's our first time there. I'm not sure about Young Jian tho..haha

We finally went in after our mini photoshoot to find that all the other groups were already there! HAHAH! Excuse us for being late..Malaccans mah..Plus, we got lost along the way..LOL It was freaking cold in there. Yes it was...Smart me wore shorts into the club somemore. Even Ah Sot found it to be cold. When it was our turn to rehearse, I could hardly move my body. T_T

Saw several familiar faces. You-know-who-you-are. LOL.
After the rehearsal was over, we had to go outside for another photoshoot by the organizers.

We went back into the club as it was free admission for the contestants. We danced and practiced our solos. Suddenly, from the very corner of my eye, I saw somebody and that SOMEBODY was moving so swiftly to the music on that very night. That SOMEBODY happens to be DENNIS YIN. You guys remember him right? The runner-up for So You Think You Can Dance Malaysia Season 1 and also from Racken Force of Battleground Astro.

This Guy. Remember him now?

He was awesome as he moved to the soulful song that was being played that night. I stood aside, being amazed at his every move. Seriously. Like mad dumbfounded ok? Dennis, if you ever come by this blog. HI! You were so busy dancing that night that I didn't manage to say Hi. :D

Now, as to not make this post uber long like my post on Station 3, I'm going to write on the Finals on another post aight?

*PS: DYNAMIX IS NOT A BREAKING CREW

I find it necessary to clarify this as people on and off the net are vaguely assuming that we're a pure breaking crew and that we win competitions because breaking pawns the other styles of dancing. SO NOT TRUE.
Here's a classification of our members according to more or less our expertise.

1. Justin Leo (leader)= Popping+ Locking+ Breaking
2. Sunny Tan= Popping+ Locking
3. Young Jian= Breaking + Popping+ Locking+ Krumping (Now this dude's a breaker mixed with other styles. We only have 2 breakers in the crew)
4. Marilyn Leo= Popping+ Breaking+ New Jazz+Hip Hop
5. Meng= Popping+ Breaking+ Locking
   
6. Jardian= Locking+ Popping+ Breaking
7. Stanley= Locking+ Popping+ Krump+ Hip Hop
   
8. Puchyto= Breaking+ Popping+ Locking ( The other breaker)
9. Funfair= Popping+ Breaking+ Locking (Specialize in popping)
10. Tai Heng= Breaking+ Locking+ Popping ( Have not danced with the crew for a very long time)

CONCLUSION: DYNAMIX IS A CHAP JENG CREW!
