What a turn out or the Hyped Up BBQ on Sunday afternoon. We had about 50 ppl turn up in shorts, singlets and flip flops. We brought down the speakers and David behind the decks, It was like Dancekool’s version of Park Life. Music was and pumping all afternoon and we managed to entertained a lot of other park goers too.
At one staged we had three BBQs going to feed the army of dancers. We ended the afternoon with a twilight encore Hyped Up showcases from all crews including Happy Feet, Patrick’s Popping Class, Akio’s kids and hip hop class, Masaki’s HH, Eriko’s Class, Liverpool st Familia, Lyzz and Momoka’s hula crew, Gagsta, Karen’s girls crew and Waackeisha.

This year’s HYPED UP is dedicated to:
- GIVING BACK to the local community who’s supported us through out the years

- RAISE FUNDS to help a young boy reach his dreams of being a professional dancer
- continue to EXPOSE and PROMOTE street dance culture through a friendly, supportive environment

Story of “Chocolate” – FUND RAISER
Chocolate is a stateless orphan from Burma, currently living in Baan Unrak (House of Happiness) – an orphanage and community relief center for children and destitute woman located in the mountain border of Burma and Thailand. Ever since discovering street dance 3 years ago, his dream is to become a professional dancer. He started a dance crew and is teaching other children in the orphanage. His dedication, commitment and passion moved all the volunteers and staffs and fate found Triple Rebels (Karen, Masaki and Akio) visiting Baan Unrak and neighbouring refugee camps in 2009 to teach dance as volunteers. Unfortunately the day that I meant Chocolate (aged 12) was also the day that his mother passed away. He was very depressed and mentioned that he may not be able join the dance classes, however after a few hours, I will never forget how his face changed, he was shining like a star and dancing his little heart out. He even led his crew and did a show for us.
Over the last few years, he has continued to dance and teach, and is currently in the process of getting a scholarship at the Thailand Center of Performing Arts. Since he is a stateless Orphan, he has no paper work, no ID, in fact, all the children’s clothes are donated from charities and have NO shoes!

We aim to donate 50% of all proceeds from HYPED UP to help chocolate:-
- get his legal paper work to pursue his dreams of becoming a dancer
- to help with basic living expenses and necessities for dance (clothes, shoes etc)

SO WHAT R U WAITING FOR! Great acts, FUN night, GREAT cause, FREEBIES for audiences!

COME along, tell all your friends and support these people who all are PASSIONATE, CREATIVE and chasing their DREAMS

Waacking is a dance which originated from the gay communities in LA over 40 yrs ago. It is sexy, sassy, full of attitude, catty and best of all, really really fun to do and WATCH!!

The word “Toprock” came in “during the mixing of both Black and Latino styles to form the foundation of Breakin we have today.
Top Rock is the vertical dance style of Original Bronx BBoys.” (Mr Wiggles). Now this is something that you don’t see everyday – a WHOLE lot of foot work and FLAVA in break dancing, not just tricks and flips!
