Like I told you, WP attended the soulplex dance competition on sunday.
This is gonna be a report of our experiences, some facts about the event, and some pictures.. enjoy!
First of all: What is "Soulplex" ?
On Sunday, October 23rd, the 3rd Soulplex Dance Competition took Place in Hannover, Germany.
The Event was founded by Darren Drake Baldric, a dancer who appeared in the german TV show "Popstars" a couple of years ago and now teaches all over europe.
The judges were:
- Jawn Ha (choreographer from los angeles, mos wanted crew)
- Brian Puspos (famous choreographer from los angeles, mos wanted crew, movement lifestyle)
- Kimbo (Choreographer and owner of a danceschool in munich)

Only 2 weeks ago, Winchester Pictures heard about this event and ofcourse, we wanted to participate !
So we quickly created a show, rehearsed it, did some streetshows.. basically, we were just really on a mission ;)
On saturday, the last day of rehearsing we were having a little photo shoot .. i already told you guys about it :
There's actually a little story behind this picture.. it looks like Lena is an outcast from the crew of the 3 black girls ! (no offense to anyone)
So then, on Sunday, we had to get up at 4 am .. yes, that was not enough sleep for that night. But anyway we met at 5 am at the central station and took a train to Hannover (because we had to be there by 8).
After the registration process, the 1 vs 1 battles started. They were great and we had a lot of fun watching them.
But then, seriousness began!
We prepared ourselves to hit the stage ...
Aylin & Siham in their costumes and with make-up, before the show started.
(Don't worry, we were actually supposed to look like dolls)
And rehearsed the whole thing one last time ..
Final rehearsals outside
We were the last crew to hit the stage.. and were pretty satisfied with our Performance. We don't know the actual result, but we ended up being somewhere in the middle.
Ofcourse we would have liked to be a little higher on the ranking, but
- we were the youngest crew of the whole event
- we prepared ourselves in only 2 weeks
- we did everything without an adolescent leader (Tony)
So all that i can add to this is I am PROUD of you girls, although we had some difficulties and problems, some people not participating, some troubles with choreographies.. Despite all these things, we made it. we were there, had an amazing day, saw many crazy performances which inspired us a lot and, most important: we had a whole lot of fun!!
