1st BDFI Taiping Open Dance Championship 2010 - 19th Sept. 2010 (Sunday)





It was the first time joint organizers - Mr Lim Poh Hu & Ms Shirley Hun, put together a championship. They are working partners and have managed many successful social events in and around Taiping. However, this year, with the guidance or Mr John Lim, they decided to take that brave step forward and do something bigger. There were the expected pitfalls and hiccups but I take my hat of to Shirley, who managed to keep things together and moving forward no matter what. As it was their first time, the pair did not want to hold different competitions at different times for the various genres of dance that they teach at their studios, hence the reason the championship is labeled 'dance' to cover the different dance forms that competed.
