Moments in the Journey of Life : "R-16 elimination" Round Revealed

R16 Elimination Uijeongvbu Korea.

R16 elimination Korea is an annual local b-boy tournament and urban arts cultural festival. The main event features solo and crew b-boy battles. Over twenty R16 Championships take place in numerous countries around the globe to determine the competitors for the World Finals, taking place in Seoul, South Korea.

“Respect” is the enduring theme that makes the “R” in R16, and the R16 World Finals Championship is one of the most respectable sought-after titles in the street dance culture. As a street dancer, holding the R16 title opens up numerous opportunities worldwide. The first R16 took place in 2007 and the event has since encompassed all aspects of urban youth cultures; taking the street movement to a higher level.

A couple of week ago, on 14.06.14 (Saturday), I travel for Uijeongbu it was far away from the center of Seoul. A small town near capital developing itself into center for arts and culture. Thanks for Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) for giving us chance to enjoy the AMAZING performances.

As for the selection-elimination concerns, it was exciting to see every one with their maximum. But the luck goes with listing winners........

[R16 KOREA 2014 National Championship Winners]

Locking Winner: Locking Khan
Bboy Crew Winner: Gamblerz Crew

And the judges are:
B-boy - PHYSICX (Korea) / SNAKE (Korea) / VENUM (USA) / KATSU (Japan) / MENNO (Netherlands)
Popping - SUPER DINO (China) / POPKUN (Korea) / POPBONG (Korea)
Locking - YUKARI (Japan) / LOCK BONG (Korea) / ORIGINALITY SEO (Korea)

The performances started with popping and locking and proceeded till the b-boys crews. Passionated people enjoyed the whole performance but the b-boys crew performers was awesome. I don’t know much about b-boying, so I can’t explain all kind of technical critique, but I can say that it was really fun, and the crews put an amazing amount of creativity into each routine.

Well all i had that's the fun, and i was really glad after experience the exciting performances of R16 elimination compositions. Thanks once again for KTO for allowing me to participate as 3rd K-Performances supporter!! I hope I will follow the winners team in the R16 world finals.
