Juste Debout 2008 — Danses Hip Hop (Dance) Palais Omnisport de Paris Bercy, le 2 mars 2008
[From: www.juste-debout.com/apropos.php ] « THE IDEA Hip Hop dance has a different impact on people. Until then, there was no event presenting the various styles of dance: Popping, Locking, Hip hop new style and House dance... That’s why, in 2001, Bruce YKANJI, lover of the dance for a long time, and the MPT Victor Jara, led in that time by Pascal Gilbert, decided to organize a journey of perfection in New York. The idea was to reward 5 better students of classes. The classes were taught by three great US dancers and choreographers: Brian Green, Shannon Mabra et Jazzy J. In 2002,the organizers did it again, but this time, by making the Americans come in France. The purpose was not only to touch more people, but to allow people who couldn’t afford move to US to see great names of Hip Hop dance and by that way, to develop Hip hop dance in France. “Juste debout” was born. What is exactly the “Juste debout”? The “Juste debout “ divides in two: On one hand, the training, supervised by the foreign speakers (or judges) and on the other hand, the meeting which is judged by the same speakers. - The training takes place over a week. It’s the occasion for Bruce YKANJI,the MPT Victor Jara and the social center Georges Brassens to collect some 150 young people coming from all the social classes of France and moreover. - The meeting or “Battle”, extends over a day during which more than 80 dancers are going to be in confrontation, in a cool spirit (it’s for that reason that the organizers prefer the term “meeting” to that of “ battle “), in front of a jury of recognized professionals of the whole world. A good reason for thedancers to give the best of themselves. “Juste debout “ is the result of many years of hard work and not, as many could think, one of these fashionable events. This is not a contest, a competition: It’s the essence of Hip Hop dance! » Comments
