4 Elements Expression Jam & the Maresco Minute

Posted: 2nd July 2010 by Dan in Events

After some thought, I’ll be driving up 3 1/2 hours from Washington D.C. to Penn St. university next weekend for the 4 Elements Expression Jam. There will be 3v3 crew competition, Bonnie & Clyde competition, and 1v1 Alll Styles. About $5,000 in prize money will be given away next Saturday. Some of the judges include Morris (Flex Flav), Omar (Jive Turkeys), Moy (Havikoro), and more. It looks like a fun jam! Plus, I’ve never been to Penn St. before, so I’m excited.


It took me a lot of thought, first because I am lazy. Me driving 3 1/2 hours? Yeah, uh huh. That takes a lot of motivation from me. Second, since both KBE and MisLee are in Korea, and Loan is in California, I have no one to host for this event. But luckily my friend Maresco will be going, so problem solved! It’ll be fun, and I already got lots of fun ideas in mind.


I’d like to debut a new segment called the b-girl “Maresco Minute” challenge. It is basically where I have Maresco make ridiculous one minute challenges with an opponent, such as: seeing how many cute Asian poses one can make (under a minute), or see how many synonyms one can say for the word “penis” (also under a minute). I’m not saying the categories would specifically be these, but we’ll see. I usually think of my games at the event anyways. The winner would get…something. ;-)

I’ve always talked about taking dancers out of their comfort zone, and have them compete in other things that are totally unrelated to dance. It would be a nice, fun change of pace. I’ve joked about filming a battle, such as Born vs Iron Monkey, but have it as a Street Fighter IV match instead. Haha…it’d actually be a good battle. Born can game. I could see the comments on Youtube already, “What does this have to do with dance? Where are the b-boys?” It wouldn’t even be false advertising, since it would essentially be Born vs Iron Monkey, just in a different showcase.





Speaking of Maresco, I just edited together a short clip of her birthday party we had a little bit ago. Domkey has trouble catching things in his mouth, and KBE loses in a staring contest.
