This coming 18 January, prepare to get into the groove as Marina Bay Sands (MBS) plays host to the Rémy Martin Centaur Dance Showdown 2012. This regional competition is out to search for the best dance crew out of six countries – Singapore, Malaysia, India, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. Last year, each country already held their own finals to pick one representative for this final showdown. The six competing groups are Radikal Forze (Singapore), Katoon Network (Malaysia), Team Swarup (India), KrumPinoy (Philippines), The Zoo Thailand (Thailand) and S.I.N.E. Crew (Vietnam).
MBS, in
collaboration with leading global luxury cognac brand Rémy Martin, will be staging the dance-off at the Sands Expo &
Convention Centre Hall C. Tickets are already on sale, ranging from $49 for
single general admission tickets and up to $8,888 for a VVIP sofa for 16 people
(more details at the end).
Award-winning
Mandopop star and new Rémy
Martin spokesperson Jolin Tsai, alongside Japanese breakdance artist
Katsuyuki Ishikawa, Singaporean hip hop artist Sheikh Haikel and Vietnamese
singer-superstar Ho Ngoc Ha will be judging the battle. The winning team will
be walking away with US$10,000. Two other teams will be awarded the Centaur
Spirit award (for demonstrating the most heart and passion in their
performances) and the Audience Favourite Award (voted by fans though Facebook
and SMS).
Tsai will also be
performing some of her top hits at the event.
Afterwards, the hall
will turn into a whopping dance floor as all ticket holders will be invited to
stay on for the Official Centaur Dance Showdown After-Party. This would be an
excellent time to pull out some of your own best moves as the international
guest deejay spins the dance tracks.
Such
is an exciting activity for a Friday night out for everyone to enjoy. You would
not want to miss out on the fun and witness the crowning of Asia’s best dance
crew.
