Saturday: World of Dance Pomona 2009

Its been a long and exhausting few days that have brought me from SD to LA back to SD now to Pomona. After a few hours of sleep and a few wake up calls later (thanks Lora & Tarzan), I was back on the road head to Pomona. Call time was 11:30AM but I didn't end up leaving my house until 11AM. I didn't get there until 12:30PM...

CLICK HERE to view photos from World of Dance Pomona 2009.

I can't believe its already been a year since our first World of Dance Pomona event. The biggest change this year was the addition of the Celebrity Meet & Greet, which was a bit hit! We brought in over 6,000+ people (compared to 5,000+ last year). Overall the show was a success and by far the longest dance show ever... 3:00PM - 12:30AM.

I could go on and on about the show but I'll try to keep it short. I was a floater the entire time, trying to make sure everything was running smoothly and that everyone was having a good time! I also covered the event and conducted interviews for Vimby. Thanks Willy P!

Anyways, lets get to the pictures... I love going to these dance events mainly because I get to see everyone, like Mr. Mike Fal (The Company)! FYI: He's party of the Wildboyz Daly City crew.
Welcome back Lizzy (Chargers Girl)! She's been in Japan for the past few months dancing for Disneyland Tokyo.
Sneak peak at the closed Beat Freaks rehearsal... They told me they missed me! I missed them too...
DJ Zeb is the official World of Dance Tour DJ!
Andrew "Goodfoot" x Pat Lam. So Real Cru were the 1st World of Dance Champions in 2008.
Lani x Verna both came up to support their younger brother JR who dances for Tru Definition.
The Stage Managers: Harold x Raelynn
Joey (21XL) x RJ (21XL) manning the tables.
Check out my VIP parking... HAHA! I didn't know where to park so I just drove straight to the front and parked next to Myron. I guess being Myron's bf does have its benefits.... HAHA
Jazmyne (CSSD) x David Ross (The Project)
Room 1: Choreography Room was crackin' like no other...
The Meet & Greet was insane too! There were so many fans dying to get a chance at meeting their favorite dances from America's Best Dance Crew, So You Think You Can Dance, and other shows. I got a chance to interview everyone for Vimby, so hopefully that'll be posted soon.

Behind the scenes with Beat Freaks!
I got a chance to catch up with the talented Jenny Kita (Harajuki Girl), whose also an UrbanFX alumni too! Hopefully we can do lunch in North Hollywood soon!
Jason x Alexis of TM7
Ailyn (So Real Cru) is always sick! Get well soon...
Fanny Pak x Quest Crew
Congrats to JR Robles and Tru Definition for placing 3rd in the Junior Division.
1st place went to APT from the Bay Area!
Check out the madness in between the 2 rooms.
Jay Chris (6 Footers) x Tony (TM) x TK
Room 2: Bboy Room featured some of the world's best bboys and bgirls... I got to check out a few battles and they were pretty intense. Its amazing what some of these bboys can do.
One of our headlining acts were Beat Freaks from Season 3 of America's Best Dance Crew... I really like this photo!
Shorty can bust head spins for days...
Beat Freaks x Hellz Bellz
Aww so cute! Lizzy x Victor (Quest)
Kellie came out to enjoy the show. She actually texted me from the audience saying I look super tall on stage... I look super tall because you're super small! HAHA Glad we could catch up... See you soon!
Lydia (Boxcuttahz) x Matt (21XL) x TK
The Ringmasters made a surprise guest appearance... They had crazy hat tricks!
Choreo Cookies is my favorite team! I love them! SD represent baby!
This was my 3rd time seeing Bboy Jalen, whose 7 years old, perform. He never seises to amaze me. He was featured on the Myspace home page for the past few days. Check out the clip here.
Our other headliners were ABDC Season 3's Champions, Quest Crew! They killed it! Check out Victor bustin' his gnarly bboy poses to the beat... The ladies were lovin' Quest! Me too... No homo! HAHA
Guess who was crowned Body Rock Pomona Champions? Thats right... My favorite team aka Choreo Cookies! Congrats guys!
It was the WOD Tripod 1 Year Anniversary: TK x Stacey x Myron
These are the main people behind World of Dance: Myron x Dave Gonzales x Robert x Stacey
The Core Staff! 143!
We were all extremely exhausted afterwards. I didn't ended up leaving the Pomona Fairplex until 1AM... Its was a long ass day! I stopped by the Sheraton (?) Hotel afterwards where Verna and members from The Company and APT were staying. I stopped by hung out for a bit and head to Hollywood.

Much love going out to the Bay Area family: the Company x APT. Apparently many of them read my blog! Thanks for the support guys!

Check out their blogs: Mike Fal x Pat x George

Mike Fal x Aggie x TK x Pat
Uhhh ohhh... I just forgot her name again... I promised that I'd blog the picture of us too! Help me!
Verna and her family were ready to start the party. Too bad I was too tired and headed back to Hollywood. Thanks for coming out Verna!
Man, that was a long ass blog! Thanks to everyone who help with World of Dance! The next stop for the World of Dance Tour is New York on June 13th. I wish I could be there but I'll be in San Diego for Body Rock Dance Competition. I wish my teleporter was working again...

Can't wait to see Sthanlee and Rolando's professional photos from the event. I'll post the Vimby footage once they get it up too. Have a good night/day!

My friend and I were recently talking about technology, and how integrated it has become to our daily lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that discussion we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.


I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as memory gets cheaper, the possibility of copying our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about almost every day.
