Fusion 2010
It feels like just yesterday when we were all at Vibe XV, but here we are with the next big competition in the circuit. Fusion 2010 will be held this year at UCSD’s Rimac Arena on Sunday, March 28th. The doors will open at 5:30PM and show will begin at 6PM. Alex Mina will be hosting this years events and currently the line-up looks pretty action packed. Tickets are available, so definitely
DTR: Bam
I’ve taken around 3 classes from Mr. Bam. His musicality is insane and he’s notorious on youtube for making his solo buddies and assistants run out mid-routine. Best known for his choreography with GRV, he’s also a member of Boxcuttahz who had a run on MTV’s ABDC. Without further ado, here is my DTR for Bam.
Full Circle Initiative Project
I know it’s been a while, but I wanted to share an amazing project started by Charlene Cervantes (Funks SF/Kaba) and Kristen Brillantes (Funks SF). Read below about the project and some awesome events they have coming up…

DTR: Keone Madrid
Since this will be the first DTR (Dance Teacher Rating) post, I thought I’d start it off with one of the more obvious selections on who to rate: Keone Madrid. Probably one of the most sought out choreographers around the world today, he’s been doing big things the past 2 years. How does he rate as a teacher?
Name: Keone Madrid
Hometown: San Diego, CA
Style: Hip Hop, House
Dance Experience: Future Shock SD, Formality, Choreo Cookies
Dance Teacher Rating System
Everyone knows what ratemyprofessors.com is. It’s a public website where college students rate professors from all over the country on the criteria of Easiness, Helpfulness, Clarity, and Rater Interest. Each area is rated on a scale from 1 to 5, with one being poor and 5 being good.
So it got me thinking: I didn’t really relate to this website because I didn’t care which professor I got. What I did care about was the quality
Stick ‘em up
Like you didn’t see this one coming. Start the new year off right and join the family that stays hungry and consistently performs at a high level. I don’t need to say anything, I’ll let their dancing to the talking.

Did you catch it?
If you were watching last Wednesday’s episode of Glee, then I hope you did. The episode “Hairography,” which aired November 25, 2009, featured SYTYCD’s Katee Shean, Kherington Payne, and Comfort Feodeke, as well as ex-Ruff Ryder rapper Eve. Oh yeah…and someone else you might recognize…
Vote for Paulie!
Not that I have to give you motivation, but be sure to keep your phones in hand. Yes, I mean more than one. Following the pun intended footsteps of Ryan (season 1), Ivan (season 2), Hok (season 3), Twitch (season 4), yet another dancer from the Southern California hip hop scene steps out of the community and into the limelight as one of the Top 20 Top 16 on Season 6 of So You Think You Can Dance.
This one is for all the fellow gLeeks out there.
I thought I’d post this not necessarily because of Amber Riley’s killer singing or Glee’s eccentric song choice, but because this clip features Harry Shum Jr., aka Asian guy. Here Sue Sylvester (Jane Hilarious Lynch) encourages him to do his pop’n'lock, and for a couple seconds it focuses on that. And you all know how I love my pop’n'lock…it’s my favorite style right after ballet’n'jazz.
Find your Common Ground
You’ve watched this team kill it all year, and now you finally have the chance to get a piece of the action. Yup, Common Ground is looking for talent to bring them into the next decade. Auditions start TONIGHT at the UC Irvine Mesa parking structure at 8 p.m. Don’t be late and bring your A-game, because this team ain’t messin’ around this year. From humble beginnings practicing in the garage at founder Kirk Arradaza’s house, CG has made a name for itself, placing 1st at Ultimate Brawl 2009. Take my word for it; this audition is one you don’t want to miss. Check the flyer after the jump.
