Happenings: UDO Canadian Street Dance Championships

Date: Saturday April 7, 2012

It was such a last minute decision for me to go to this event (too long to type it all out... read the title)! Vinny was kind enough to give me a ride, as he was going to enter the locking battle along with Des. The battle was at the Hoop Dome in Downsview Park, a very nice and large sporting venue that had almost every type of court that you could think of. As we arrived they were at the Group dance competitions for ages 12 and Under. While they waited, some of the poppers and lockers used the other basketball court to warm up, plug in their headphones and jam a little by themselves. Most dancers were from the "Bahen Centre" session people, so I called it the Bahen Corner (No? Not funny?).

I got to see friends, and even meet quite a few people who I've seen from other events but never got the chances (guts) to say hi to. As always with anything dance related, the event was off schedule, albeit not too drastically off. During the children and teenager group dance divisions, Jade was the MC, and during the Battles, and the event hereinafter, LennyLen was the host of the night.

One of the things that I noticed from this event was that some facial expression of those in the dance group competitions were a little off.

Here are some clips of the event:
