Step Up or Get Smoked Review~!!!!

oooooooooooooooookkkkkkkkkaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy

DID YALL COME TO THE EVENT?????? I HOPE SO CUZ IF U DIDN'T, U'VE MISSED AN AWESOME BATTLE EVENT!!!!!!!

As I've explained on the earlier post, we've had 3 styles

The event started off with the House Section.
This section had less competitors than expected, thus, some non-House dancers (including our member Karlo "Mr Panda"lol) registered to fill the spot.

people were having fun with this section since we were able to see serious battles and some battles we can laugh at lol

The Winner of this section was Glytch from Intermix/Groove Kings crew!!!
His unique groove and creative dance moves entertained the judges and the audience through out the battle, Mad props.

I don't have the footage again so plz wait till I find them on YouTube lol

Next was Hip Hop

Now a lot of trouble happened in this section.

1.The judges of Hip Hop section decided that since Hip Hop is too broadly defined, they've made a rule restricting some dance styles,specifically Break Dance. This caused some controversy between some of the competitors and the judges throughout the event.
Thanks to Spex, we were able to make things settled.

2.The judges had tie decisions continuously because I believe the music they had for this section was not really for battling.

3.The judge announced THE INCORRECT NAME OF THE CHAMP AT THE FINALS!!!!

So yea, there were lots of drama lol

Although the battle was SICK

Many raw and fresh talent went head to head against each other and the crowd was going CRAAAAAAZZZYYYY!!!!!

The winner of HIP HOP was Dezmin"Alph Alpha" Staley from SOUL'D crew!!!
His combined style of Hip Hop Party groove and sharp and precise poppin move shined on the battle field and smoked some of the coolest hip hop dancers in NJ! MAD props

Don't have the Champs Battle footage but here is one of the battles



The Final Section Was POPIN!!!!!

I was able to judge the poppin section but lets just say that I regret doing it cuz there were too many dope poppers to battle that night!!!

From Philly we had BOOG from 360

From NY we had Killa Watts from Part Time Models

From D.C we had C-lo,Wu Bott and Jett Jaguar from Regulators

and from NJ we had What The Funk?! Crew and Boogie Mind from the Boogie Bots who competed at ABDC season 2!!

Now all these names u see some of the best poppers from their states, and so as u can guess, this section had one of the DOPEST BATTLES OF THE NIGHT !!!!!

All the battles were on fire and were really difficult to judge.
We were really glad to have Spex, one of the oldest and experienced dancer from NY to judge with us that night.
Therefore, I feel like we able to judge the battles fair and reasonable.

The Champ of this intense section was Jett Jaguar from the Regulators!!!

His musicality and creativity outmatched the rest of the skilled dancers and took the title of becoming the best popper at Step Up or Get Smoked 2010

Here are one of the hottest battle of the night, Jett Jaguar VS Boogie Mind!





Congrats to all the Champs and a great job to all those who competed!!!

Cant wait to attend the next Step Up or Get Smoked!!!!

Peace
