Hi all! I know its been an unbelievably long time since I've posted, but between work, moving, dancing and life I just haven't taken the time to post. And there have also been a million things going through my head that I have been struggling to comprehend and writing them out isn't really a possibility right now.....
Anyway! This past weekend I was up in San Fran with my fabulous funks team!!! We had a performance at Funks SF's first annual showcase and oh goodness it was one of the best weekends ever! I love my teammates soo much and it was one of the most exciting performances I've ever done. Just to be with my team...freakin awesome :-)
ok enough mush - below are various youtube videos of performances from this weekend. The first is of Funks SD of course :-)
And below are several of my fave performances from Funks SF as well as other groups that were there. Also there is a review from Boogiezone who is known to have really strong opinions regardless of how brutal they may be. I've only included their review of Funks SD. Check out the vids and our review :-)
"The venue was the Regency, a beautiful building with an interior that was almost reminiscent of a high school (or even elementary) recital taking place in an open hall. It was two stories, upstairs bein for the 21+ folk, which was an absolutely PERFECT idea, and enough seating with an overhead view. If you’re from orange county, think House of Blues in Downtown Disney, but older and a little more historic looking.
The Boogiezone table and banner were placed in the back corner on the 1st floor, next to the sound engineer, the rest of the vendors and the non-alcoholic concession stand. Our table also served as our seats for the show since the event was COMPLETELY SOLD OUT, even without havin to sell any tickets at the door!!
On with the show, Gina and Emerson (Exec. Director/ Exec. Artistic Director, respectively) semi-hosted the show, since they only introduced the first performers in the beginning of the show and after the intermission, and each performance thereafter went back to back. So here’s how it went down:
::FUNKS SD::
Same set as fusion, except whatever changed from then made it look 200x better!!! These guys stepped it up like no other: clean clean clean opener....great staging and formations... it flowed so much better! And the energy...WHOOOO the energy! It made all the difference.. . not to mention the eye candy kept me a little distracted.. .yeah, the stripes. Lol...the “take you down” piece...ummm. .... it’s a jaw dropper!!! overall I loved the whole routine because they covered all the bases and lived up to the funkanometry name...THATS how you put up a show! It’ll be a youtube favorite, no doubt.
