And so to Rich Mix again! Yesterday evening it was Boy Blue Entertainment's turn to host the 'Whose Line is it Anyway' style show in the Main Space. Home Bros provided laughs and quirks for us in the audience (African accents and banter included) whilst the dancers sat either side of the DJ on sofas ready to step up for each round. Now although this was supposed to be the under 18's edition, the dancers ranged from 14 to well over 18. Each team had to send up a member of their three-strong group to compete in games which included:
- Mallet's Mallet
- Charades
- Speed cup stacking
- Dance battles to cartoon theme tunes
- Improvised dance on a theme from the audience
- Rap battles using audience contributions
- Dance knowledge Quiz
There were guest performances from the spoken word and dance world, including a brilliant rap rendition from Tyrus McKenzie who I reviewed as a promising dance talent back in February at the the Future Elements night at Sadler's Wells.
Overall, a swell night was had by all! My tummy hurt from laughing on the night, and Home Bros were an excellent choice of hosts for the evening. However in agreement with the hosts, I would consider dropping the 'Yo Mamma' Jokes' round, it didn't quite work and lost a bit of momentum during the evening.
In true Jendubbz style I took an opportunity to chat to some of the dancers in an attempt to keep spreading the word about young dancers and their commitments in the dance/theatre world. Also in true Jendubbz style the sound quality ain't that great, so do bear with!
Note to self: Take them outside next time! Hip-hop events = LOUD MUSIC EVERYWHERE!
