KATHMANDU, JAN 10 - The World Dance Council—AAL, with the support of Event Extravaganza and Inferno Events, is organising Urban Street Dance, an open dance competition, in Pokhara this month. The event, set to begin on January 26 (from 3:45 pm onwards), will be a fun-filled affair that hopes to promote dance events in the country.
The two-day programme is an open affair, which means solo dancers, duos, as well as dance troupes are welcome to compete. All performances will be judged on the basis of several voting mechanisms: a panel of experienced judges, votes from the multimedia crew, SMS votes, as well as the number of ‘likes’ the dance videos receive on Facebook.
Although titled Urban Street Dance, all genres of dance are expected to be performed. The event will even be telecast on national TV via the
entertainment channel e24. Organisers say that they are currently in talks with a reputed international dance competition organising crew in the hopes of letting the winners of this national-level competition participate in a dance-off of a greater, grander scale.
The programme will also feature well-known singers, who will be performing in between the dances. Their presence and their music will certainly help attract more audiences at an event which will perhaps be a celebration of dance and music. What’s more, these dances will not be limited to the stage as DJ sessions have been planned for the event. DJs from around the world will be playing some of the biggest hits of the past year and this one so that audiences can party, and have a good time. In a sense, the dance competition itself applies to the
audience as those who show the best moves off-stage will be awarded handy cash prizes.
The winners of the actual open dance challenge itself will receive cash prizes (six-digit figures that are yet to be disclosed), and will be featured in a number of advertisements, select shows as well as campaigns.
Categories such as ‘best performing crew’, ‘best performer’, ‘best choreographer’, ‘most-wanted crew’, ‘multi-media-liked crew’ and ‘viewer’s choice—Facebook Promo’ have already been set. National-level champions will also be selected from amongst the
participating dancers.
