Battles and Shows

Kids, juniors, adults. Solos, duos, small groups, formations, showcases, battles.

Finnish Championship 2011 -contest was organized last weekend in Espoo. Urban dance community gathered again together to compete, show and battle.



Since I just came back to Finland from the journey around the world, I couldn't participate with any group really. So, it was time to finally try battling for the first time. Even though the situation to throw yourself in to the battle field is a bit scary, this style of competing in street dances feels more natural than just performing for an audience and/or judges.

For me, 1vs1 battle was all about winning myself, and I'm proud of myself. I didn't freeze complitely in a battle that was against one of the best dancers in Finland, a woman that won the whole thing in the end. Thumbs up for all you battlers!

Most of all, I am a show person. My favourite part of the championships has always been Showcases. They bring the newest, craziest and the most absurd pieces of urban dance on stage. My favourite one this year came 2nd, AMAZING SHOW!

So, I'm staying now in Hollywood, and taking dance classes at Debbie Reynold's in North Hollywood. Metro is the way to go, takes straight to the studios.



I've already taken few classes before, but tonight's hip hop with Derrell Bullock killed! Man was a bit out of this page, but that made the class. Thank you so much D!



And this is just a random shot from Debbie's..

Ciao! It's me, Satu - former ballroom and latin, present hip hop dancer from Finland. I've been writing a blog of my travels around the world for a while now, but I think it's finally time to focus more also on the subject I love the most - DANCE.

What would be any better way to start this blogging than an inspirational show? Here's some S**t Kingz in Japan Urban Showcase people:
