Vibrant, bold and colourful are 3 words that describe the 5 hours I spent watching the preliminaries of Singapoe Dance Delight Vol. 2 by F&N Sparkling Drinks.
I am a big fan of F&N Sparkling Drinks as they come in flavours like Outrageous Orange, Smashing Strawberry, Cool Ice Cream Soda, Groovy Grape, Flashy Fruitade, Cheeky Cherryade, Zesty Zappel and the latest addition to the range - 'F&N' Blazt. If only they came in such huge sizes like those I saw @Scape!
There were 1000+ youths gathered on 26th February 2011,Saturday,to catch 40 groups up from last year's 28 groups. The competition last year set the bar really high for this year's competition
Having been there and then myself, I would say there was certainly outrageous outfits, cool choreography and groovy dance routines. I felt like dancing to the music as the atmosphere @ Scape was simply contagious!
I truly felt like a reporter/journalist for the day as I experience horrible scares like almost tripping and falling flat on my face(that would be totally unglamourous) who knows, my picture might make headline of the day like "Blogger fell flat on face and had to be sent to hospital while dancers continue the competition."
I salute and have the utmost respect for all reporters and journalists alike. Imagine they have to be at the scene whether rain or shine and jostle with the crowd and position themselves at different angles to capture the best photographs of the event.
The rain almost marred the event as
crew for the event patiently used cloth to wipe the stage and the cleaning motley crew was also called in to wipe the floor of the event venue. However, the spirits of the competitiors and 1000+ youths was very much effervescent as they cheered and screamed as they downed lots of F&N Sparkling Drinks that were available readily and F&N gave out wet wipes in cute mini keychain holders that you could attach to your bag. How thoughtful! These were the two most important items that a dancer needs-wet towels to wipe their sweat and drinks to hydrate after countless practices. I swear the dancersmade the routines look so easy that I almost contemplated signing up for O' School street dance classes right there and then!
The judges for that very fateful evening was Kenny Low,Founder, O' School, Ryan Tan, Creative Director, O' School and Hu Pei Zhen aka An An from Da' Street Soul (Funkamania 2006 Champions)
