Shuddup N Dance is Back!  Bigger, Better, Brighter 2018


Hey, did you know the dance competition Shuddup N Dance (SND) is already in it’s fifth year now? What?! How time flies. This year, SND will be setting up its stage at Klang Parade on two weekends, 18 & 19 August and 25 & 26 August, whereby street dancers from around the Klang Valley and beyond are invited to compete once more to see who reigns supreme on the stage! Think music, think great dance moves on stage, you get it.

Fifth Year Running!


Unlike previous years where the competition had only two distinct categories, “Group” and “Solo”, this year, since it’s 2018, SND breaks down its “Solo” category further to incorporate specialised categories such as Locking, Under-18, Krump, and Gurl Power. Gurl Power? Don’t play play. By doing this, for sure the fairness and objectivity when judging participants will be maintained. Dancing is not only limited to group and solo yea.

“We’re always upping the ante for each new incarnation of Shuddup N Dance,” comments returning judge Danny Lee, leader of the Rejuvenate Dance Crew. “The teams that come back each year keep getting better and better, and we as the judges would now have to scrutinise every detail of their performance, from their chosen choreography to the precision of their technique.”

Brandish Your True Colours at Shuddup N Dance!


If you didn’t know yet, SND began as a platform for young local dancers to showcase their talents on stage while debunking the myth that street dancing was only limited to high school dropouts and delinquents. The competition has since grown beyond those boundaries to include international participation from countries such as Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, and the United States, while winners of SND have been elevated to become ambassadors of the competition as they continue to promote dancing as a fun way to remain physically active. Now you know.
