So how's it been lately huh? Last week was a whirlwind experience, both academically, and Street Jazz-ically (Belison, 2008). See, I'm actually learning things from my ENG 10 pala no? Haha. Nevermind the acads, I've been wanting to blog about the recently concluded WSB Groove Manila since yesterday eh.
We were excited, stoked and all, because we got to perform and compete alongside 36 other dance crews from Luzon for the very much coveted top 15 slots for World Battlegrounds Supremacy. The competition was held last Saturday night at the Teatro Marikina, in, err, Marikina City. You could just imagine how much we prepared for that compet. I said imagine, right? We did our best that night, but to no avail. We were out-danced by other groups, and no, going first ain't the problem. The competing team wasn't a team, really. I am quite disappointed because we were never complete for rehearsals. And I believe that cost us a lot. I heard it from other people too. Sure the routine was malinis, and that we were conformed. But we didn't dance as one. As Ate Joys put it, walang harmony. We weren't even interacting the whole 5 minutes of the routine. I think it all boils down to the lack of time spent together, not only in rehearsals but also with time outside trainings. The team I came to know during the past three years was tight. I have yet to experience that tightness from the new set of competing team members.
This Sunday, we'll be in SM San Lazaro for the elimination leg of Skechers Street Dance Battle Year 4. I hope by that time things work out for the team. I know we all want this. I know we want to get a spot in the finals. But the question in my mind right now is, do we deserve it? Because if we continue on being like this, no harmony and all, then, harsh as it may sound, we don't deserve to be be chosen as one of the finalists. We're not a team for nothing, y'all.
I'm not even sure if any of you could read this, as none of you know this blog site. Haha. Let's help each other out. Let's do this, not for ourselves, but for the group we've come to love, for Ma'am J.Lu who believes in us, for the other members of the Clan, and most especially for Him, whom we owe these talents to.
And that ends my sort of ranting for tonight. For tonight. Get ready for more doses in the coming days. Or hours. Whatever.

Ouch. It's really sad to hear about that man. I hope you guys get it together soon. Magaling padin ang elbi! I heard from Castle (gfni kev) na mejo biased daw yung mga judges towards those crews na more on bboy/powermoves and krumps. I dunno if that's true though.
