The highly anticipated, highly publicized show has come and gone. As all shows go, there are always winners and losers and this show was no different.
Team Quba, last years winners thrilled the crowd with death defying leaps from ... ok, more injury defying leaps from the first floor of the Silverbird galleria to the dance floor beneath, to local makosa and NAIJA boxers, yes, they wore boxers with NAIJA written and displayed them for the crowds approval.
The judges proclaimed the street dance a tie, it was inevitable that there had to be a face off. Furious Energy and Universal dancers pulled at all stops to get the crown, from impossible body twistings to breaking of props on each others heads. It will be a night many wont forget in a hurry.
Furious Energy won!
It is however unfortunate that the same cannot be said about the salsa show dance which was disappointing at best as amateurs competed against each other. According to some members of audience who left half way into the competition, they should have been warned that it was going to be an introduction to salsa and not a display of talent.
Uche and Da silva emerged winners of this category.
Hey I was there! Surprised Furious Energy won-those guys in red trousers were really good...Meanwhile, a bit disappointed with the salsa-was expecting professionals to dance, not students! And then those professionals that danced-the guy was ok but the babe refused to raise her legs beyond knee height!! Come on!! If you gonna be a dancing diva, express to the tip of your toes please!El savore-dancer's got to feel it for the audience to feel it! it literally hurts physically when dancers do not give full vent to their expression. Nice shoulder action at the end though but...Nnnngh! Also learned a lot from running commentary around me-there are dancers and there are dancers and we definitely did not see the latter. I left
