The Main Event Report Pt. 2: Performances!

On February 28, Bergen Performing Arts Center was packed with hip hop fans and dancers. Thirteen East Coast teams competed, hoping to win the first East Coast Main Event. Fr3sh Dance Company hosted the show and its three groups performed in the exhibition program, along with Boogie Bots, Lost Kids, Funkanometry SF, Project EM. It was a serious dance competition, using official score sheets from the Hip Hop Dance Association, and judged by dance professionals: Emerson Aquino and Gina Rosale (Funkanometry SF), Keone Madrid (Choreo Cookies), Rocko Luciano (Boxcuttuhz), Kyle Hanagami (The Lost Kids), and choreographer Mariel Martin. Brian Puspos (SoReal Cru) was also in the house to lend support. And the Master of Ceremonies was Brian East of Boogie Bots. Brian -- if Mario Lopez leaves America's Best Dance Crew, I nominate you to fill his shoes!

The place was packed and aroar. The competition differed from ABDC format, using full size crews (a dozen and more members) performing five minute programs. All of them captured the attention and love of the audience. For me, the best ones distinguished themselves through tough moves, precision, and holding my interest by varying how they changed up with their different subgroups, how they varied tempo and energy, and their use of surprise in transitions. My personal favorites were winners Rhythm City (who I loved at the ABDC auditions too), Capital Funk (second place), EPIC Motion (third place), and newcomers WRUSH. This competition was a supremely good idea for showcasing new talent and proving that the East Coast can stand up to the West.

Boston’s hip-hop dance scene

Hip-hop dance has been around in the form of breaking, pop-and-lock, and other street-dance styles for decades. But its recent surge of popularity on reality television has thrust hip-hop dance into the mainstream. And we’re proud to see that Boston groups have been making big moves on the small screen. Their mix of popping, breaking, and gymnastics put members of the all-male crew Status Quo on the first season of MTV’s danceoff show, America’s Best Dance Crew, where they ultimately placed second in the nationwide competition. Phunk Phenomenon (1760 Revere Beach Parkway, Everett, 617.389.9111) appeared on BET’s 106 & Park this month, and their Lil’ Phunk dancers are the official junior dance team of the champion Boston Celtics. Want to bust your own move? Head to the hip-hop class at Jeannette Neill Dance Studio (261 Friend Street, Boston, 617.523.1355). Open classes cost $15, and more information is available at www.jndance.com.

Congratulations to one of the Co-Choreographers, Ian McKenzie of Wrush for being in Stuff @ Nights Hot 100.

Ian McKenzie. That's who. Enjoy a video with Ian, dancing with one of his Icons, Luam.

SHHHH!!! LISTEN UP CLASS, Time for Introductions:

2008-07-09T19:33:00.000-07:00

Ian McKenzie : Ian began dancing at the age of 19. Even though he did not have prior experience in any style of dance, he knew he had a passion for music and movement, and in 2001 he joined a dance troupe called Phunk Phenomenon. Dedicated to learning the art, he went from dancer to lead choreographer within 2 years. During that time he choreographed for the Boston Celtics and Kiss 108 concerts, and also worked closely with recording artist Jordan Knight. He later became the assistant director for the company and played an instrumental role in starting "Lil Phunk" - the official kids dance troupe for the Boston Celtics. Since leaving the company to grow and train, he has performed in various concerts with 112 and Paula DeAnda. When he returned to Boston from a mini-tour he started his co-owned dance company WRUSH, a dance group with which he shares similar interests and styles. Ian's sole purpose is to grow as a dancer and give back to the community.

Marcus Aguirre : At age 13, Marcos E. Aguirre performed for the first time, in a talent show to Britney Spears - "Oops I Did It Again". He was daring, and proved he was not afraid to take risks. Since then, he's taught at Movement City Youth Center and has been running his own dance crew by the name Urban X. In 2006, he had the chance to perform at the Texas PowerJam Concert (Paul Wall, Nick Cannon) for an artist named Martii, giving him the opportunity to expand as a dancer and get into the scene. In 2007, Marcos got to work with choreogrpahers such as Luam, Kelly Peters, and Tanisha Scott and had the chance to get to audition for "SYTYCD" and was signed to Bloc Agency NYC. At the age of 21, Marcos got to lead in a music video for Epic recording artist Kat Delunas - "Whine Up". He plans on being a successful dancer, choreographer, and entertainer. He is now one half of the team who has created Wrush.

Ricky Flores : AKA Bboy Batboi, AKA Bboy Ricky Tan. Dancing since the song first started. Bboying is one of the most difficult, technical, and interesting dance styles to encounter.
