As the news spread across Braeton last Saturday the semi-finalists for the Charles Chocolates Dancin’ Dynamites Competition were about to embark on a showdown in the Braeton Gully – an unlikely location in Portmore - the excitement reached fever pitch, and residents came out in numbers to witness the never before seen display.
Detouring from the usual Jamaica College auditorium venue, the Charles Chocolates team weaved a twist in the ‘Mad and Mean’ themed competition, bringing the semi-final show to its Sunshine City home base.
“It’s a wonderful feeling to see such a great turnout from the community today. When we decided to take the semi-finals here, the idea was to create an immersive experience for our most discerning fans on our home ground, and I’m so happy to see the that everyone is having a fantastic time,” said Roxanne Brown, Brand Manager, Charles Chocolates.
As the air buzzed with excitement, dancers from Legend Squad, Too Kool Dancers, Code X, and New Era, prepared to wow the expectant audience. With DJ Tropical of Hitz 92, and DJ Niney from Di Unit in Portmore at the turntables unleashing a string of pulsating beats, a six-a-side football competition, a host of activities to keep everyone busy, and the anticipation of the eventual showdown; the energy was palpable.
Code X emerged as the winners of two intense round of clashes walking away with a $16,000 cash prize and bragging rights. New Era held their own, winning the prize for the Perfect Catch performance and a host of compliments from the judges.
“You (New Era) performed like you were in the community and heard there was a dance competition and you just come out and kill it, and still kept the moves clean and the energy high all throughout!” exclaimed season judge Kerry-Ann when describing New Era’s performance.
Only three of the dance groups will move on to the first of two exhilarating finals which will be held this Sunday, May 12. In the first finals, the local teams will compete for the top honours and the Charles Chocolates Dancin’ Dynamites title. The second finale, which will be held on Sunday, May 19, will see the winner of the local finals will facing-off against teams from Colombia,
Cuba and St. Lucia for the ultimate title. Both showdowns will be held at the Jamaica College auditorium in Kingston.
