I attended the Singapore Dance Delight Vol. 2 Prelims at Scape the previous Saturday (26 Feb).
Dance is big in Singapore among youths. Check out this photo:
Over 1000 youths attended the event, despite the sporadic rain which came on and off.

Some photos I took at the Prelims:
Other than the competing dance teams, a group of bloggers were also competing to be among ten finalists who will be tasked to cover the entire Singapore Dance Delight Vol. 2 campaign. Out of the ten finalists, two bloggers will eventually be sent to Osaka too. Check out their shared blog on omy.sg as they trash it out with their keyboards to “Spread the Groove”.
The 10 finalists bloggers are (in no particular order):
1 ) Goh Yong Wei
2 ) William Tan
3 ) Low Sze Ping
4 ) Woo Jiayi
5 ) Woo Jiaqi

All these are possible, thanks to the generous presenting sponsor, F&N Sparkling Drinks.
ABOUT SINGAPORE DANCE DELIGHT VOL. 2
With all things dance gaining feverish popularity, street dance is one activity that never fails to bring youth together. They see dance as a way to find community and to express themselves creatively. Whether they are dancing to the beat or cheering as spectators, they enjoy the pace, the fervour and the adrenaline rush that comes with dance.
Singapore Dance Delight is one of the rare recent events that has galvanized youth from all walks of life to come together in celebration of dance and being young. Singapore Dance Delight Vol. 2 has proven to be bigger & louder with almost double the number of crews competing – 46 teams registered up from last year’s 28! This year’s entries saw strong showings from the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia! Singapore is the only South East Asian country to host Dance Delight. Last year’s competition set the bar really high so this year, expect even greater choreography, tighter routines & more outrageous outfits!
Singapore Dance Delight Vol. 2, is the Singapore edition of Asia’s “fiercest” street dance competition, Dance Delight, Japan. Last year, Singapore inaugurated Singapore Dance Delight to pick its first representative to compete with the world’s best in Osaka, Japan. Singapore Dance Delight Vol. 1 winners Joyce and the Boys found it to be a tremendous honour and awe-inspiring experience to dance with the best in the world.
Singapore Dance Delight Vol. 2 is proudly presented by F&N Sparkling Drinks and produced by O School.
The Finals will be held at Wave House Sentosa, 36 Siloso Beach Walk, Sentosa Island on March 12, 2011 at 7pm. Only one team will win the coveted chance to compete in Japan. Admission to the finals is by ticket only. Tickets can be purchased from O School (Tel: 6509 0016) at $20 (till March 8, 2011) or $25 (from March 9, 2011 onwards).
