THE BATTLE
Let's talk about the 3 VS 3 Battle event of BITT! Recently I have been to more All Styles battle events around the dance scene (I would've blogged all about them if only I started this blog 3 months ago!), and have tried to familiarize myself with the format, and how to appreciate all styles of dancing.
I mainly judged based on the biggest and most important concept of dance: MUSICALITY. Even Pyro, who was a judge as well, stated it before and during the battle that competitors needed to listen to the beat and work with the music, not against it. An extremely talented breakdancer who can hit all the power moves (windmills, air flares, head spins, etc.) may not move to the next round if they do not hit the beat correctly. They might as well have danced without music on at all if they don't have musicality and worked with their 5 6 7 8's.

AUDIENCE BATTLE
I don't have any footage from the audience battle, but CONGRATULATIONS to JULIANA QIAN for winning the audience's hearts as well as the prize (I wonder what the prize was...?)
PERFORMANCES & SHOWCASES
There were two special performances by Mister Park and Snowzei, both of which I can't find videos for... But if you were there, you'd definitely know how entertaining it was! Of course they both had dancers (this being a dance event and all...) Mister Park was accompanied by Tyrell and Jey, while LOVE girls danced with Snowzei on stage. Her singing performance was then followed by a piece from Yours Truly, Me! Enjoy some of the photos taken from these performances!
