THE SEARCH TO FIND SA’S BEST DANCE CREW CULMINATES ON 31 MAY 2014
Red Bull Beat Battle’s quest to find
the best dance crews in the country to go up against the 2013 champions The Prophelaz
(formally known as I.D.A.) is over.
With
a new twist, this year saw a ‘Wildcard’ element introduced. From the qualifiers
six crews were selected and will have 7 weeks to prepare for the finals in
Soweto. Five wildcard dance crews were selected and Red Bull Beat Battle fans had
to vote for their favourite crew on www.redbullbeatbattle.co.za, with ‘Fire’ winning the crowd vote to compete in the
final.
Fire
join Freeze Frame, Panzam Entertainment, Psyko Souljas, The Perfect Storm,
Supreme and Warrior Knight as the seven crews who will have to go up against
newly renamed defending champs, The Prophelaz.
Having
scoured Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Durban, Pretoria and Johannesburg for the
Mzansi’s best dance crews in styles ranging from iSbhujwa, Hip Hop, Pantsula
and Krump, to Breaking judges were impressed with the way in which talent has
grown year on year.
"I'm
really excited that the future of dance in SA is looking good with so many
young guns that came and blazed the stage to see if they could make it through
to the final 8. This year seems to be the year of the underdogs with some crews
coming back every year without giving up. We can see how badly crews want to be
one of the top eight," said head judge for the qualifiers, Bboy Vouks
Nojokes. "They're all so hungry to take that number one spot. It was also
great to see more female dancers come through this year."
Celebrating
its 4th anniversary in 2014, Red Bull Beat Battle has grown
immensely since its first edition in 2011 and now sports some famous alumni
from the competition, including past champs AI and The Reptilez, who have gone
on to do great things in the South African dance world and beyond.
The
final will take place on the 31st of May 2014 and for the second
year running will take place at the Walter Sisulu Square in Kliptown, Soweto.
