Calling all b-boys and b-girls! If you love break dancing, this is for you.

Floor Combat is an annual Break Dance competition aimed at promoting hip-hop culture as positive and healthy while providing Malaysian youth with a platform to express themselves through dance and music.

Taylor's Got Talent was a talent show organised by Taylor's University College! The finals were on the 8th of May; there were only 20 contestants left after elimination during the auditions, all of whom were pretty talented. (:

Absinthe performed during the break before the final 5 contestants were announced. Two weeks of practice paid off and for all of 5 minutes, the crew dominated the stage! B-boying, followed by popping, and hip hop. Then the contestants reclaimed the stage for themselves.

The whole event was fun and entertaining, and we managed to see how talented Taylor's students really are! Plus, that night, the crowd was really hyped up, cheering for whoever was on stage and for their friends, which just added to the atmosphere.

The event kicked off with a performance by Apple Juice, a crew from Sunway College. The performance had the crowd hyped up and cheering. The dance floor opened, but not many people started dancing then. However, as time went on, more and more people went onto the dance floor and when it was packed with people, the lights and music really gave it a 'club' feel.

Still too early for the dance floor?

About halfway through, Elecoldxhot (ECX) performed! Honestly, this is the first time I've seen them. I've only heard of them before, never seen. The response from the crowd was fantastic. A few times times, their screams and cheers even overwhelmed the music (which was really really loud)!

The final pose.

The crew and some of their fans!

All throughout the event, there were competitions, one of which the participants had to follow dance moves of the host, Ching Yu, and another to find the sexiest dancer. Of course, there was also limbo! Some people really have talent for limbo-ing, in terms of both strength and flexibility. I tried too, but wasn't very successful though. 

The winner managed to get under the bar without touching it when it was only about a foot and a half off the ground! Wow. I wished I had my camera for this, but the Photography Club was already there, snapping away.

In between the competitions, the dance floor was open and people were battling each other. But it became more competitive when the official cypher started. Everyone cheered for their friends, and those who were really good. When it narrowed down to the 5 finalists, competition was tough because all of them were really good dancers.

But there could only be one winner, and it was a breakdancer from Taylor's College Subang: Gosu! When the cypher was over, free ice-creams were given out to everyone, and people continued dancing. As it became late, people started drifting off and event came to an end.

All in all, it was really fun, and an awesome party. I, for one, enjoyed myself, and I hope you did too! This was the first DanceFest, but not the last, so if you missed this one, you can come for the others!
