Our Best Season Yet?… Wait for next year!
It was another fantastic year for SHOCK the Intensive… Our 5th season was the biggest, most exciting one yet and next year looks to be even bigger!
Many of our faculty members are staying busy in the off-season… Napoleon & Tabitha are hard at work on the set of America’s Best Dance Crew season 3. Our awesome new jazz instructor, Alison Faulk’s b-girl crew, Beat Freaks, is tearing it up on ABDC, and Alison, aka Alstar is busy working on Pink’s new world tour! One of our new guest instructors, Andre Fuentes can be seen on Britney’s new MTV special and is working on numerous other projects at the moment.
The rest of our all star faculty is traveling, teaching and prepping for SHOCK season 6… we promise, you won’t want to miss it!
Dance Crew Season 3
Yep, its time again for ABDC SEASON 3! The premiere is Thursday night on MTV at 10 pm. STAR SYSTEMS/SHOCK THE INTENSIVE is excited to have worked with TWO groups in SEASON 3. QUEST, were our guest performers at all 3 nationals, and members DOMINIC SANDOVAL, HOK KONISHI, RYAN FENG, RYAN CONFERIDO also taught master classes at Nationals in 2008. If you were in DETROIT or ATLANTA for SHOCK, they taught master classes there as well. The other group we are excited about is an ALL girl group BEAT FREAKS. Our new faculty member for SHOCK in 2008, that is so diverse, she’s just amazing….ALISON FAULK or (Alstar) as she is known to her crew is part of the BEAT FREAKS. Be sure to watch and cast your vote for the great talent in Season 3. And of course a big SHOUT OUT to SHANE SPARKS, who as always will be on ABDC. Shane and his assistant Rachel joined us last summer for Nationals and at SHOCK THE INTENSIVE in Charlotte. Of course be on the look out for some amazing Choreography from our other SHOCK faculty members THE DYNAMIC DUO of TABITHA AND NAPOLEON D’UMO. To get BEAT FREAK threads go to:FREAKTHEVOTE.COM You will be able to vote there as well.MOM COMMENT SAYS IT ALL.. WASHINGTON DC YOU ROCKED!
I just wanted to tell you that the girls (at least Kelly and the girls she was dancing near/with/around Sunday) had the time of their lives. SS really puts on a great workshop. The teachers are A+ and give the kids a lot of attention, not to mention a huge bang for their buck. Just thought I’d tell you how much fun Kelly had. She and Abby were doing the combinations in the studio today before her solo w/ Rebecca and loving every minute of it. They will remember thos combos for years to come. Hope the next workshop can hold a candle to Shock! Thanks! See you soon.Worcester Rocked It!!!
Well we asked for it, and WORCESTER, you brought it. TWO WEEKS IN A ROW, SHOCK has had convention centers ROCKIN‘!!!! People from the HOME SHOW, came upstairs to see what was a happenin’ and it was ya’ll ROCKIN’ out. What a great turnout we had, big enough to add a teen room this year. The faculty was so excited to see the improvement in so many dancers from last year, and thought the WORCESTER senior room was totally amazing! Remember Long Island is this weekend, and if you attend one SHOCK, you can attend for HALF PRICE. Thanks to everyone who attended and we will see you in the spring at STAR SYSTEMS. LONG ISLAND, it’s up to you, SHOW US WHATCHA GOT!CHARLOTTE ROCKED!!!!
We heard there was a football game in Charlotte this weekend, however no one could hear the football crowd over the dancers literally ROCKIN’ the CHARLOTTE CONVENTION CENTER…..it was the first time we’ve ever had a convention where the floors actually shook during warm-up!!!! ALL THE FACULTY, as well as guest artists SHANE SPARKS, and ANDRE FUENTES, say CHARLOTTE is the BEST CITY on the tour so far. Faculty was so pumped up because of YOU the dancers being so into the classes. Hope everyone got Birthday Cake, as Napoleon celebrated his birthday in Charlotte, with not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 birthday cakes….enough for everyone there. CHARLOTTE YOU DEFINITELY OWN IT!!!! Can’t wait to see you all at STAR SYSTEMS 2009.
