Dance Manila

thanks sa pag post ng vids namin d2 sa dance manila thanks ng marami

i agree with Susie. The judges should have been more educated and more objective in judgin. I know you can all agree with me but the real essence of streetdance is missing already. DINADAAN NA LANG SA BLOWUPS but the TECHNICALITIES? wala na. This is because the judges really have a very LIMITED knowledge on the what’s and how’s of real HIPHOP DANCE. Like FEU, it is said in the rules that *ANY JAZZ OR THEATRICAL ROUTINES WILL BE DISREGARDED IN JUDGING*. But what happened, wawtch the vid and be the judge. Like WORLD HIPHOP, not so famous judges are in the panel but they are really the famous ones from the underground that really knows the basics to the latests of HIPHOP. There are so many teams like BEDAN DANCE TROUPE and UPM INDAYOG that deserve the spot more than the ones who did. For e.g. do the judges know that Beda’s piece is one of the most latest and technical style when it comes to laidback/la style? or do they really know that UP Manila’s style, taking it from the roots of Hiphop is the one called as NY Style used by most underground performers in the Battle Cities like Ny, LA, NJ and Houston. It is also the style taught by Luther Brown ( a World Hipho Judge ). I think the judges should be re shuffled. I remember this one time when Meynard of Streetboys was asked to do Lockings. haha What he did? He just LITERALLY Locked is shoulders and arms in short PUMITIK PITIK LANG but in fact Locking (campbell locking) is really a different move which originated from UPM INDAYOG, DLSU and the BBOY CREWS before. KAWAWA YUNG MGA TECHNICAL DANCERS, NILALAMON YUNG COMPETITION NG COMMERCIAL Hiphop and FAMOUS DANCE ICONS WHO REALLY HAS NO IDEA OF WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

We really need to do something about this, I am not a dancer and I am not part of the BIG SCHOOLS that usually compete but I am a scholar of London School for the Arts before major in Hiphop and contemporary street style and I know how messed up and how disrespected hiphop style is here in the Philippines.Sorry if im putting you as an example FEU but really, wala kayo karapatan. You just tried to get the audience’s attention by doing a contemporary piece. Before, you used to bite costumes from UPD, waacking from UPM, Jun Quemado’s choreo Locking from Lasalle and now, you are not doing the real thing? When can you improve your discipline and your originality? Ang lalakas niyo pa naman. Sayang.TIP is also great but sayang andami niyo binite. I have nothing to say more, sayang lang yung mga bite and I know you can still come up with the same routine or better just eliminate the copied routines and focus more on technicalities not on tumblings.I really hope makarating to sa brainbox and they should come up with a better way of lining-up judges that are really deserving to be called judges for a STREETDANCE BATTLE. Peace yall

AMA dance troupe is much better than the other finalist in terms of choreography and skills, mas ok dance nila ala jun quemado and kaba modern… even though for you guys underdog sila, they are capable of winning the championship kasi d pa nmn nila naiipakita ung tunay nilang energy…
