Hip Hop Nite 08 Trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8kr56WCehU

We are currently calling for participants (teams of 2) to join and you can expect 4 rounds all happening on
the 15th Feb (Friday) at University Cultural Centre (UCC) Theatre in NUS, 8pm.


Briefly, Round 1 consists of the duos performing their prepared piece but with a given short music snip 2 weeks before. The challenge is that the duos will dance in groups simultaneously.
Teams that manage to catch the judges' attention, get to advance to round 2. Here, the duos have earned their right and have the freedom to dance to songs and styles of their choice. Each team is given solo time on stage during this round.

Then it's half time! When the judges will deliberate on the results while our guest item entertains you ;)

Round 3 is the choreography round when the duos learn some simple choreography that would factor into their judging criteria before....


Round 4! When the 4 remaining teams battle it out to emerge the final winner!



oK, yes i tok alot. heh. but for more details do check out out official HHN blog at http://hhn08.blogspot.com/
Catch you then and see you there! ;)

I'm the publicity head of Blast as of this year.
But this head of mine was about to explode when ticket sales were so bad.
Gosh how were we ever going to sell so many tickets! AND worry about the show at the same time! To make matters worse, we were all geared up and involved in Dancetitude (organised by our sister group NTU MJ) so we had SO few rehearsals back then. The Peranakan theme didn't play to our advantage either..

But yes, you guessed it! If you didn't manage to catch the show, I dare say it was your loss!
hehe just kiddin' =P
Hope to upload to youtube as testimony that we did it! We pulled it off!
Ticket sales picked up and the crowd was great =)

Minutes before the show everyone backstage were all raring to go. As Pat sauntered in and gave his usual (yet forever inspiring) speech,
we shared a universal prayer together. Amidst the solemn congregation of bowed heads, our hearts were ignited with our passion for dance and passion for the stage. As one entity, we hit the dancefloor and stormed the stage.

We didn't just bring it; we nailed it.
Kudos to the dancers I'dil, Joo Teng, Erwin, Weilong, Frederick, Elson, Chris, Lina, Esther, Nicole, Hazel, Tracy, Huixuan, Sham, Sharon, Dawn, Peggy, Chun, Rebecca, and Celine, for their past few months of undying effort and hard work.


Dance on!
Look out for Blast anniversary that's coming up!!!
20th Oct 07 (Saturday) from 7pm to 10pm!
It's gonna be a Blast! I just know it!

Ho ho ho.. Here's for everyone to spread the JOY even before christmas is here!

Featuring latest news from Blastreuters..

As most of you might already have known, or have already sensed the HIGH pulsating from ngee ann city yesterday afternoon, here're the results of PULSE HIPHOP Knockout @ Ngee Ann City...


drum rolls.. (by leron the snare drum player)

In 4th position.. we have
Team: Visceral Dementia

Team: Blast! Junior High
Choreographer: Tan Kiat Hau aka Jiexiao Aka JayT

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR BLAST! TEAMS!!

Its really heart-warming to see how every single one has invested so much time, effort and love into this competition, especially Jiexiao, whose name appeared thrice in the short paragraphs above. As a dancer & choreographer for the teams, its little wonder why xiao shedded some man-ly tears upon the announcement of the results for the top position. THANKS xiao!! The crowd almost went bonkers because of Visceral dementia, with their sexy nurses, hunky doctors patients, the red tights and the bandages. The cutest students from Blast! Junior High rocked the stage with their innocence and charm, their trendy specs, school uniforms and ribbons. Also, a zillion thanks to those who made time to come down, endured the blistering heat of the afternoon sun just to support the teams at Ngee Ann City!

To the dancers in the teams: congratulations for the excellent performance at the competition. Each competition is learning experience, hope you guys have learnt much, enjoyed yourselves and forged new friendships. Remember, the end of a competition marks the beginning of another period of hard work. :)

To the rest of the blastards.. see you guys in dance camp 2006/7! more fun to come after the exams.. ho ho ho. pls remember to reply to the camp email! & to those who are taking part in the upcoming competitions i.e. Monkey Business, WORK HARD & HAVE FUN!! =) Rebecca & Elson, GAMBATE for dance floor this coming Weds!

P.S. Look out for Blast! Junior High in Chingay 07!

Always remember, dance is a good way to relieve stress so you know what to do when those frustration and angst is getting the better of you.. just turn on the music.. groove and dance it. haa. Oh wells. Havent been blogging in a while, now that we're back, here's a short digest of what's happened since our dance reflections..


Dance reflections 2006, Shut Up & DANCE! (8,9,10Sep)

and it says shut...

up..

and..

dance!

2006. =)

So after the the electrifying concert we had our well-deserved Post Concert Celebrations at Chevrons.. it spells good food.. great company.. and the long-awaited concert video. of course we had a good time laughing our arses off over the emcees.. the dancers.. and spotting the 'odd ones out'. i.e. who made mistakes etc..not being sadistic here.. ha. Kudos to those who came dressed as the ultimate mismatch!! Esp to people like Kelvin, the kampung boyz.. the geeky club, the 'gaoyaos'.. the kinkys and whatnots. What a sight to behold!

Post Concert Celebrations (11oct)

Well. After the celebrations it was down to some hardcore preparation by the 2 grps of juniors.. for the Blast! 5th anniversary celebrations in November. This year, the 2 junior teams put up uber impressive items, and not to mention, a job well done(exceedingly so!) by the choreographers ahmad, joo&erwin as well. Kickass dudes. WE LOVE YOU guys!! Heh. So, after our last class for this sem, most of us headed down to PGP function room, despite the rain, with great anticipation for the performances.. in addition, we had the 4-man team dressed in blazers and performing a stunning sexyback spoof. HAA. I must applaud these 4 men for their effort, hiding in the toilet for sucha long while before they could perform the opening item. Ha. Guess what, Blast! adored them so much they even did an encore! a glimpse of the 4-man team..

Blast! 5th Anniversary (1Nov)

Oh wells.. exams are coming.. although there're no more class until the exams are over.. come COME come join us this Weds for Blast! Lunch, 12pm @ Arts Canteen. After that the Blast! Muggin crew will be proceeding the Central Library till late to prepare for the deadly final exams.. sob i hate exams.. Bleah.

ALOHA!

Here's your chance to catch some of our talented dancers on TV! Haa. Just recently, some dancers from Xiao's item took part in the filming of a Channel U variety show, Night Walk 步夜城.

Night Walk is an infotainment program packaged and presented in a drama format, featuring 4 characters played by Huang Biren, Shen Yunying, Cavin Soh and Shaun Chen. In the episodes, they will explore Singapore for various cool, fun night haunts in and also discover the various night professions.

So if you wanna know if Jiexiao, Jooteng, Winnie, Justin, Callista, Hazel, Leron & Damon looks good on TeeVee, and what the episode is about, do stay home & tune in to Night Walk 步夜城, on 11 OCT, 8.30pm.

Ok my lovelies. This is super long overdue (a month late). But..

THANKS FOR BEING SWEETHEARTS AND

TURNING UP ATMY BIRTHDAY SURPRISE!

For those who werent able to make it but sent their regards/sms-es, many many thanks too.

I had no inkling that almost the whole club was involved. PHWOAR! And I was left out of the loop! Amazing. No body spilled.
Seeing so many of you turn up and hiding behind feeding the mosquitoes, teehee, makes me get all choked up again. *sniff*

OH I realised there was a card. OOPS! Didnt know until I was clearing out my table the other day.

Thanks Matthew, Hazel, Rebecca, Grace, Zahfirah, Korin, Joo Teng, Idil (twinnie!), Rozana, Candy, Tracy, Caleb, Jie Xiao, Erwin, Harold, Kai Yuan, Linda, Jacky, Eleen, Marie, Fen
for the jacket! Yay!




Thanks guys for making my 21st so memorable. And the best part is school wouldnt be the same without Blastards! colouring each and every moment of it too.
Lunch sessions or lepak-ing after practises have come to be routine and a much welcomed relief from the daily hum-drum of school monotony.

DR is less than 30 days away and vetting is tomorrow. All the best and keep dancing hard. Dont forget to hit the books yah?

In the meantime,



SHUT UP AND DANCE!
