Last week-end was dope!

It was the Sous Pression Dance Battle on Saturday. Sous Pression is probably one of the few big international Hip hop Dance events in Belgium (In Liege, this year). "Sous Pression" means "Under Pressure".

Categories were as follow:
Hip Hop
House Dance
Popping
B-boying
Top rock (b-boying standing steps)

Judges were:
Ardit (germany)
Warry The Warrior (France)
Pepito (France)
Buddha Stretch (USA, more later on him)

The level was quite high with Belgian but also French, German and Swiss dancers.

One thing was for Sure M.J. was in everyone's mind.
-It began with Bruce Ykanji's son (if I'm not mistaken) doing some M.J. moves in the qualifiers. He got everyone crazy especially when after his round the DJ put some M.J. song for the kid to dance.

-A popper changed his nickname to M.J.

-Bruce Ykanji (France, organizer of Juste Debout and probably one of the best hip hop dancers in the world) and Ibrahim (Belgium) danced under the name. Hihiiii Crew (pronounced HeHeee) as an homage to Michael too

- A 10 minutes homage M.J. mix with almost everyone dancing on stage (and at least everyone going crazy).

Results:
Hip Hop: Bruce Ykanji & Ibrahim
B-boying: Narco & Chucky (Belgium)
Top Rock: Mathias (France)
Pop: I don't remember but a French guy
House Dance: Mogwai & Filou (France)

All in all an awesome battle with some high level contestants. Only bad side not enough house dancers.

Then Came Sunday. and that was even more awesome!
A 3 hour workshop with none other than Buddha Stretch from Elite Force (NY).
We did about half hip hop and half house dance.

Now for those of you who don't know anything about Stretch (but definitely saw him dance already). He's one of the originators of Hip hop dance and House Dance. dancing since 1984 or 1985 (I believe).
Here's some of his work as Choreographer (and most of the time dancer):

So yes, he choreographed and danced for Michael Jackson (as well as Will Smith, Mariah Carey,...)

The workshop itself was crazy. True old school hip hop with move such as Cabbage patch, ...
House and Hip hop were just crazy. Lot's of basic moves but really challenging choreography (especially house that I totally enjoyed).
Warm-up mostly on M.J. And that's the most surprising including a few wushu stances (I mean with the style and all) just not as low as a wushu guy would do it.

Since I began dancing in 2007, I want to dance at every single moment. Be it house dance or hip Hop (New Style), I just can't stop dancing. Of course, I'm not forgetting about popping and locking though I'm not learning those at the moment. But I'm a huge fans of groups like Hilti & Bosch, Co-Thkoo, Umin,....
Be ready to see me at Juste Debout 2009 (in the audience, of course :-D)

Besides dance my other love is wushu. I've been practicing it in and out for years (but I'm still very bad at it as I can't seem to find time to train seriously although it's far better now).

I really enjoy to learn new languages. I currently speak French, English, Dutch (still learning) and Japanese (still learning) and the next on the list will be Mandarin.
