The first thing that struck me about Funk City, Strictly Funk's Fall 2006 concert, was just how freakin good they look. Yes, needless to say, I went to the concert with extremely high expectations, and they were largely met after 2 hours of solid hip-hop and jazz.
They've got a relatively small cast: 24 people who performed no less than 22 items and transitions. Not to mention that they were involved in the production as well, from making videos to selling tickets on the Walk this week. I. am. freaking. impressed.
Loved how they strung every item together to make one long story, and it wasnt one of those lame-ass story tie-ins ala THAT dance concert at a certain university. No doubt, their style's a whole lot different from that in Singapore, but I have to say again, it looks oh-so-good.
As how I always am after these things, inspired to improve my technique and try out again for Spring auditions, which happen in... i dunno. 2-3 months time? Sigh. Such a long way more. Have to start being serious and not miss anymore Overflow rehearsals because I was drunk/hungover/trying to look for my phone. (all 3 which, well, happened this morning)
Shall press on then. Here's to more random hiphop moves in the middle of Locust Walk!
PS: To my beloved (and sorely missed) dancers: Check out what I found on the SAJC website!
