I was really excited about the next round of Danceworks. Basically this competition is a dance competition organised by the National Council Against Drug Abuse and Central Narcotics Bureau. This week was the Cat 3 prelim round which is the open cat round for youths / students aged 25 and below.
The standard was definately higher than the earlier cat 1 finals I hosted and the crowd was certainly louder. Had alot of fun messing around with them and getting them up on stage for fun and games.
The main focus of course was the dance competition itself where 29 teams went head to head in showing off their dance skills and keeping to the theme “Dance your way to a drug-free life”
In the end the top 4 teams earned themselves a slot in the grand finals happening on 4 Apr 09. Now it rained heavily but that didn’t sway the crowd who packed the open plaza next to Plaza Singapura. Even I was shocked at how packed and hot it was……that was pretty draining.
Through the heat and stuffyness the teams battled it out for those top 4 spots but in my opinion, everyone was a winner because they were dancing for a good cause. Keeping healthy and staying away from drugs.
This was a fun gig, with great audience participation and the contestants were pretty nice too! It always feels good to be part of the culture of dance even though I can’t really dance myself.
After that was a well deserved meal and a catch up session with some old friends……Katong Laksa style!
Dinner was funny man cos Eugene (not pictured) brought his dad along……the stories we heard from him were damn funny.
And that’s how you have a great weekend…..peace!
Danker out!
