Ecole Salish Secondary presents,
THROWDOWN VOL. 5
1 vs. 1 Freestyle Dance Competition
Wednesday, Nov.7th, 2018
*Doors open at 12:45pm, competition starts at 1:30pm*
Salish Secondary 7278 184th street
Welcome
to the 5th annual, THROWDOWN at a new location…Ecole Salish
Secondary! This event is open to all
Surrey students and designed to bring together the High School Dance community
in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. This is a freestyle dance competition
focusing on musicality, technique, creativity and performance. Although our students have many opportunities
to perform choreographed pieces, they rarely get the chance to showcase their
joy of just, “dancing!” Freestyling is
at the heart of hip hop culture and dance, so it is our hope that this event
gives students a positive environment to show off their creativity and love of
dance!
There
will be 3-4 rounds of competition with open cyphers in between. So ALL students
can get a chance to show their stuff and have fun! Judges will not be giving written comments or
scores to the preliminary round competitors . . . this will keep the event
running quickly and smoothly. Top 4
competitors will be able to meet privately with the judges after the event to
get specific comments and feedback. A
cypher King and Queen will also be awarded at the end of the event.
Categories:
A:
Breaking . . . (all b-boying, b-girling) . . . (Junior

B:
All Styles . . . (any hip hop/street
style, or a combination of styles, ex. popping, locking, waacking, krumping,

- Since the workshop follows quite closely after the performance, I would suggest that the students come wearing clothes that they can move in. We have change rooms on the 3rd (womens) and 4th (mens) floor but for efficiency it might be best if they are dressed ready to go. Dancers can wear socks or no socks. Dance sneakers are not required.
- The cost to students is $25. This includes a dance class, performance, and transportation by school bus.
- Students will need to bring a lunch or money to purchase a lunch. (sushi, Starbucks, pizza, Tim Horton’s, and Subway are all close by.)
