W.O.W.

The annual DanceWorks! competition came to a glorious, touching & euphoric end just a few hours ago! We can't believe how fast the past two months have flown by and we are still feeling high (without drugs!) from all the excitement that took place earlier today \\(^^)//

For an event of such epic proportions, of course we are bringing you an equally massive post! Join us as we take you on a visual journey of what went down and finally reveal the results everyone has been waiting for!

The weather was being a little tricky today - it was blazing hot one moment and the next we knew, heavy rain was hitting down hard before the sun came up again! Thank goodness for the lovely peeps from Pokka who were on hand giving out the new Pokka Sparklin' drinks  to keep both the public and our participants adequately hydrated be it rain or shine ♥


Now, do you guys recognize this sign??

It's a blownup anti-drug ribbon! (It is missing the white colour though :))

All the participants and persons involved in DanceWorks! proudly wore their green and white anti-drugs ribbons to proclaim their support for the campaign! Yes, our all important hosts and judges too :D

The judges as usual, were so sweet and gave such insightful and inspiring comments to the teams. The audience were also kept thoroughly entertained by the lively banter and humourous jokes of our awesome hosts!

As the competition got underway and the teams took their turns on stage, their fans went wild and filled the air with their deafening screams adding to the electrifying atmosphere and giving the guys on stage the added adrenalin rush needed!

Look at the crowd support for our teams, some of them were even armed with horns and whistles!

Esteemed guest-of-honour, Minister of State for Home Affairs and Foreign Affairs, Mr Masagos Zulkifli also graced the event to the cheers of the crowd.

Arriving on the red carpet!

Aside from the performances from our 8 grand finalists, the audience were also treated to performances from some very special guests whilst the results were being tabulated..Hey, it is the Grand Finals after all!

Super Duper Junior! (Anglo Chinese School (Primary))

Remember these cuties who were the winners of the CAT I Finals?? They were back to show-off their routine and boy were we reminded of why they clinched first place! The crowd just loved their cute costumes and highly synchronized moves to hot K-Pop ditties!

Baracuda Batucada from Ngee Ann Polytechnic

This award-winning percussion band entertained the audience with their thumping beats and infectious energy, we all could learn a thing or two from them about rhythm and energy!

Elecoldxhot

We were extremely lucky that the boys from Elecoldxhot came down all the way from Malaysia to perform for us. Their colourful outfits, super tight and sometimes cheeky moves got the crowds groovin' and cheering along - they sure brightened up the rainy afternoon!

Finally, it was the moment everyone had been waiting for! All those months of preparation, blood, sweat, tears, nerves, laughter had come to this..... It was time for the winners to be announced!! (gosh we can still feel the goosebumps now!)

Starting off with the subsidiary awards.......

Bendemeer Secondary School

These guys were the winners at the CAT II Prelims A and today, they walked away with the title of Grand Champions! As you can see, the crew members and their fans were delirious with joy when their name was announced!
It was a well-deserved victory as they impressed the judges with their winning formula of good choreography, usage of songs and level of professionalism. Their unique routine made Judge Ann's day and Judge Eden felt like they took him on a journey where everyone danced like they truly believed in the anti-drug message!


Next up is the CAT III results!




4th Place:  Team Josh
3rd Place:  D'Movement (Dunman High School)
2nd Place: TUFRDFC


Coming in FIRST PLACE........


The Freekzy Nutz expanded on their "keep fit" theme and just blew us away with their humour, swag and musicality! Judge Kay commented that "everyone is so good" and there was no weak link in the group. The chemistry between the boys was so evident and Judge Eden emphasized how much respect he held for them. They stepped up their game alright and were duly rewarded for their hard work!

So there we have it boys and girls, were your predictions right?? Bet you didn't predict the newest move that we noticed emerged from today's Finals though............the HUDDLE!

Juuuuust kidding! ;D

Sadly, all good things must come to an end, we had a fantastic, unforgettable time though and are already looking forward to next year's competition!

Ya'know cliched as it sounds, everyone is a winner in our eyes -  all the teams put their hearts and souls into the competition and we have nothing but the greatest respect for them!
And you are all winners too as long as you stay drug-free..Remember, Live it Loud with Dance - Stay Cool. No Drugs!
