Move On Up: A Manifesto Dance Off

September 24th, 2007

Friday night I went to check out “Move On Up” – a breakdancing/freestyle street dancing competition that was held at the Berkeley Church as part of Manifesto‘s weekend-long urban music and art fest.

I was blown away by the creativity, innovation and variety of dance crews and performances. Everyone who performed was stellar. There was your usual break moves – the flare, the freeze, etc. – but some crews opted for moves that reminded me more of hi-brow modern dance performances I’ve seen.

The soundtrack to the evening was provided by DJs Dalia and General Eclectic, and a performance by Subliminal who took beat-boxing to a whole new universe.

I was hoping for a battle to end the night, but Rated X was the clear judge and crowd fave, walking away with not only a $2500 prize, but a dance scholarship from one of the Judges, Miss Prissy.
