vs. 1 Freestyle Dance Competition

Doors

Panorama
Ridge Secondary (64th ave. and 132nd st.)
Welcome
to the 2nd annual, THROWDOWN at Panorama Ridge 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.
