(*Visit Rewinds top friends on MySpace: MySpace.com/RewindDanceProductions)<br /><br /><br />There has been posts of the 10th, 7th, 5th, 3rd, 2nd and first place at HHI on YouTube but I can't find anyone that has the show of Rewind at HHI. Steve has told me that Australia was considered the underdog at HHI and hence many people didn't expect what hit them when Australia made the top 12 (We Showed THEM!). Although the show for The Game at MMA wasn't the complete show (due to stage limitations), if someone cant post it that would be awesome...<br /><br />Just to update everyone what’s coming up:<br /><br />- Rewind will be making an appearance next month at Parkmore Shopping Center for Aspirations Studios<br />- Vince and a few other Melbourne dancers will be performing for Czarinas album debut launch at Shamiana<br />- There are many dance events happening in Melbourne during the month of September including the massive Montanasa- a fusion of Krump, Bboying, Locking, Popping and House battles on the most high-tech stage in the Southern Hemisphere- The Palms @ Crown Casinos (Proudly supported by MMA, United Entertainment, The Nation of Sound and Groovedance.com).

Thankyou =D<img src="http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/5746/rewindhhi001abcuj4.jpg" /><br /><p class="style1"><em>Picture Description: REWIND on stage at the HHI 2007 Finals</em><br /></p><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:12;" >Rewind have walked away from HHI 2007 with their heads held high. Some may say Rewinds journey has ended, but for me it feels like this is just the beginning of our quest to take on the Hip Hop world.<br /><br />As most of you that have been following know, Rewind qualified 5th out of 38 Crews from around the world to make the Final 12 in Hip Hop International 2007 held at the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Centre, Redondo Beach (Los Angeles) on 29th July, 2007. Rewind finished the competition in 8th place. A top effort for our first time on the world scale. (For top 3 placings, please refer to previous blogs)<br /><br />It was an amazing experience that will be one of the biggest highlights of my Hip Hop/ Dancing career. Not just performing, but meeting all the other crews and seeing the different styles and amazing shows each and every crew put together.<br /><br />On behalf of the Rewind Crew, I'd like to once again thank all those that helped us to achieve what we did. In particular, Acey & Anna (Detour)and Monica (Beatphonik). You guys are amazing and we wouldn't have been able to do this without you guys. <br /><br />Also a huge thanks to everyone who wished us well and supported us from the start. Rewind hopes that this journey will inspire more Australian crews to take part in Hip Hop International whether it be Junior, Varsity or Adult, and inspire new generations of Hip Hop Dancers to continue the legacy.<br /><br />Rewind has taken with them the experience, skills and knowledge from this competition and hope to return to Hip Hop International next year with an even bigger and better show.<br /><br />One Love. Hip Hop.<br />Peace. Steve.

Well, all I can say is that the qualifying round the night before already ranks the top 12 in the world going into the finals. The dance they perform in the qualifier is normally what is performed in the final, so the qualifying round would give us a good idea of what the final results would look like (Given they are using the same judges as the finals).<br /><br />Why is the results from the qualifer different from the final? Well, i can only say that it would have come down to execution...One crew who may not have danced as well in the qualifer may have killed it in the finals (or vice versa).<br /><br />Once i get a hold of the full top 12 ranks ill let you guys know. We'll also have a heap of videos of the event as well as a full video interview with the crew upon their return!<br /><br />Its been a pretty full on week and I know the guys are pretty exhasted by the whole experience. Admittadly a part of me is disappointed, but I cant tell you how PROUD I am of Rewind and all the hard work they have put in for representing the Australian Hip hop Dance Industry, a now becoming a WORLD CLASS dance crew!<br /><br />More updates to come,<br /><br />Wez<br /><br /></span>AtomiKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03134268822144381919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-756858793042480483.post-72193361761957747882007-07-30T00:08:00.000+10:002007-07-30T00:31:33.797+10:00Rewind (Aus) Qualifies 5th out of 38 Countries<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nRK2MjD-lKs"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nRK2MjD-lKs" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br /><p class="style1"><br /><em>Video Description: HHI 2006 DVD Trailer</em><br /></p><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:12;" ><br />Well Aussie people- feel proud of your representatives! Rewind out of 38 countries have come 5th in the pre-qualifer to the finals tomorrow night (Monday night, Australian time). That means Australia has made it into the top 12 in the world to compete in the finals! YAY! Steve and the crew have updated me via text so i haven't really got much for you at the moment except that they were up at 7am and they were still waiting for results at 12am that evening (17 hours later)...The top 5 qualified like this:<br /><br />5th- Rewind (Australia)<br />4th- Physical Funk (Germany)<br />3rd- Philippine All-Stars (Philippines)<br />2nd- Eclectik (Trinidad & Tobago)<br />1st- Kaba Modern (USA)<br /><br />The other crew in the final 12 to watch out for would be 7th qualifier, Dziah (NZ). <br /><br />As for Psalms (Aus-Syd), I think they just arrived today and didn't make the cut. I asked myself, "Why would you travel half way across the world to arrive on the same day all jet lagged to perform at a world level?"...Some of my info is second hand so I'm hoping that i was wrong about that!<br /><br />Right now they are resting, getting a good nights rest for tomorrow- The final showdown...<br /><br />Go REWIND!<br /><br />Keeping U Updated...<br /><br /></span>AtomiKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03134268822144381919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-756858793042480483.post-13149452978592569162007-07-26T22:16:00.000+10:002007-07-26T22:37:03.064+10:00A Quickie Update<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BxXHMy3lAak"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BxXHMy3lAak" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><p class="style1"><em>Video Description: Rewind in LA!</em></p><br /><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:12;" ><br />Just some quick updates:<br /><br />- Rewind assisted Aspirations Studios this year at HBIA AND Aspirations Director, Tracey is again, Senior Australian Hairdresser of the Year 2007!

Eveveryone arrived safely after a long 14 hour flight. Anywho, I must say that the weather is beautiful here. It was about 30 degrees yesterday and today the sun is shining but not so humid.<br /><br />What have we done so far you ask??? Well getting around is pretty tricky as w'ere getting used to driving on the opposite sides of the road and the traffic rules. Everywhere you go you almost have to get on the freeway everytime which is 7 lanes wide but still chocca's. This is like the land of SUV's and Chrome Wheels where almost every corner has a burger place.<br /><br />All of us are still getting used to the tipping with food and adding tax to everything we pay for. Basically its the price of whatever we buy plus 8.25% tax. If we eat in a sit in restaurant, its price of the meal, plus tax, plus tip which is about 10-15%.<br /><br />We havent started training as yet so just been doing some sight seeing, catching up with our fellow american buddies and shopping down Melrose Avenue which was awesome. (W'ere gonna go back cause we ran outta time. Its similar to Chapel Street but 100 times better!!!! While shopping at an awesome shoe store called Sportie L.A, we ran into the Choreographer who features in "Search for the Net Pussy Cat Doll' who happily took a happy snap with the girls...sorry i dont know his name...lol).<br /><br />We also stopped by Debbie Reynolds Dance Studio for a quick peak.<br /><br />Tomorrow w'ere off to Disney Land for the day before our greulling traning starts.<br />Heres one of the many photos we have already taken, but for now, keep checking back for some updates.<br /><br />I also have a video diary that I update regularly for Wes to tell you about our daily experiences but may be available pending editing by Wes when we get back.<br /><br />Lots still planned ahead but thats the update for now.<br /><br />I'd just like to say this we all miss you guys and thankyou to everyone for their support and well wishes.<br /><br />Much Love. Steve and the whole Rewind Crew =D<br /><br /><br /></div></span>Steve (REWIND)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02590286117169958728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-756858793042480483.post-32987990330595490192007-07-18T10:02:00.000+10:002007-07-18T20:14:03.639+10:00Striving for the X-factor<img src="http://www.dancenergy.ca/Pictures/puzzle"><br /><p class="style1"><br /><em>Picture Description: Has Rewind got all the pieces of the puzzle to win HHI?</em><br /></p><br /><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:12;" ><br /><br />Well, its a sad time for me. Tomorrow, I'll be waving goodbye to my crew as they step through the International gates and board the plane for a 20-something hour flight to Los Angeles. So although I'm sad, its an exciting time for Rewind. The whole of last week has been refining the performance adding bits and pieces here and there to enhance the show and to satisfy the competition criteria ... but is all this tweaking really enough?<br /><br />There are so many factors that go into winning a competition- There are factors you can control: "Have you shown enough variety in your choreography?" - "Have you got enough formation changes?" - "Is the music time frame too long or short? (with no swearing...)" - "Are the costumes comfortable yet attractive?" ...then there are external factors like: "Who are you competing against?" - "Who's judging you and what is their background?"...<br /><br />Considering all of that, there is also the x-factor (and I'm not talking about the TV show!). What is the X-Factor? I don't really know - but for me, its just 'something' that makes you say "that show is the one thats gonna win...". If there were two crews who did similar shows- its the x-factor that would separate the one that wins and the one that comes second. I guess I would call it the overall 'Entertainment' factor but somehow i think its more than that...<br /><br />I think it has something to do with the chemistry of the dance crew coming together and sharing their passion for dance to the world. Friendship, positive teamwork, fun and enjoying what you love doing the most: all of that comes across on stage as well.<br /><br />Time creeps up so quickly when you do large scale comps like HHI - Questions about whether you have done this or completed that....and you get lost in whats important in the dance show- to simply enjoy the moment.<br /><br />So to my krew: be confident and show them how we do it in Australia BUT don't lose sight of why we started dancing in the first place- to inspire others and share our passion to the world!...<br /><br /><strong>Questions: Whats your definition of the X-Factor?</strong><br /><br /><br /></span>AtomiKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03134268822144381919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-756858793042480483.post-2685231728800870152007-07-13T09:09:00.000+10:002007-07-13T09:12:27.837+10:00Rewind performs this weekend!<img src="http://lh4.google.co.uk/thenationofsound/RnsIeKk8j9I/AAAAAAAAAFI/Y4Cb4TH9Xp8/Flyer.gif.jpg?imgmax=512"><br /><p class="style1"><em>Picture Description: The Game, this weekend</em><br /><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:12;" ><br />Next week Rewind is set to leave to go to the US to take on 30 countries from around the world to compete in the Hip hop international dance comp. The nerves are definitely kicking in for most of the crew as rehearsals become more intense.<br /><br />Rewind performed a ‘closed door’ show for a dance industry audience only last week. The audience consisted of many of our dance mentors in Melbourne to get feedback on the current show and they had many constructive criticisms of our show. As a result, Vince and the crew have reviewed the show and have decided to go through with a number of changes to the show- The bad thing is for us is it almost like re-doing a whole new show. In particular, song choice is going through an overhaul- that would mean mix will go through its 10th draft (and that’s definitely not the last).<br /><br />The feedback was important to get the show to a world standard level. But, time is running short now and with Rewind leaving next week, the pressure is on to get the dance completed. Good thing is, Rewind works well under pressure…<br /><br />If you want to see the show yourself to give us feedback, Rewind is showcasing the performance this Saturday, 3pm at ‘The Game’ Krump Competition at MMA. Please come down and show your support!

In a short period of time, she has achieved a level style and execution that most dancers train years and years to obtain. This natural talent has lead her dance technique to be the envy of many female hip hop dancers in Melbourne. We're thankful and honored she has accepted to compete along side Rewind and with her involvement and I dont think we could have asked for a stronger line up of female dance talent for the HHI comp...(Watch out HHI...Mwahahahaha!)<br /><br /><br /><strong>Whats your full Name?:</strong> Monica Rivo <br /><br /><strong>How long have you been dancing?: </strong><br />I've been dancing since mid-2004..<br /><br /><strong>Which crews have you performed with?: </strong><br />I am forever grateful to XS-Tekniq, performing with this crew introduced me into the dance scene. Have also performed with Hey Mamma (collaboration with Vikings girls). Have been fortunate to dance with Rewind previously, alongside our American friends for a Van Son show. I am currently in Detour & Beatphonik with whom I've grown as a dancer in both crews. Love you guys! A huge thank you to all, especially the above, who've aided me through the journey so far. Your encouragement keeps me going.<br /><br /><strong>What has been your most memorable experience with Hip hop dance and why?: </strong><br />The memorable experiences have been throughout rehearsals, events & comps - particularly the 'Chess' show with Beatphonik.<br /><br />As well as the wave of emotions whether it be the adrenalin generated by the cheers from the crowd, the uplifting feeling when executing choreography or the joy after a performance. It's been awesome to be able to share it all with my family BP. It's also been memorable to have met many great people, formed close friendships, not to mention meeting my beautiful guy James. It's been very rewarding to have inspired others to pursue dancing too! <br /><br />Something quite unforgettable to me is a memory which begun years ago when I never knew hip hop dance crews existed. I watched in awe of Rewind performing at Mercury Lounge. During the dance I can recall saying to my mates, "Wow... I want to dance with them". From that memory I viewed Rewind a pioneer in the hiphop dance scene. They're a good bunch of friends who I still admire, and now it's an honor to compete against the world with you guys..... yippeeeee!<br /><br /><strong>What are you looking forward to most about going to LA and competing at HHI?: </strong><br />Am definitely looking forward to the warm weather & spending QT with Rewind. We'll be hitting the theme parks, taking dance classes, shopping & visiting our American buddies. In terms of competing at HHI, I can't wait to meet & watch the other talents from around the world and performing at such a high-level comp. The nerves & excitement will be flying high no doubt!<br /><br /><strong>Do you have any tips for other hip hop dance crews or dancers?: </strong><br />Some tips for aspiring dancers and those who are just starting out.. Dance with passion. If you love it, go for it. Encouragement helps but believe in yourself. Feedback will help you improve. Challenge yourself - attempt & experiment with different styles and practice makes perfect!<br /><br />All the best, <br /><br />Mon <br /><br /></span>AtomiKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03134268822144381919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-756858793042480483.post-87884548508825005842007-07-04T23:12:00.001+10:002007-07-04T23:12:53.559+10:00Rewind HHI Crew- Jaimez<img src="http://lh5.google.com/thenationofsound/RoubcX-UTnI/AAAAAAAAAG0/UAkSwZ878Mk/s144/5.jpg"><img src="http://lh5.google.com/thenationofsound/RoubdX-UToI/AAAAAAAAAG8/ixWb3qSuiKI/s144/100_0745.JPG"><img src="http://lh3.google.com/thenationofsound/Roube3-UTpI/AAAAAAAAAHE/U0eOkRl205s/s144/100_0437.JPG"/ ><br /><br /><br /><em>Picture Description: James (but call him Jaimez- he hates James)</em><br /><br />To give you some background, Jamiez originally started his dance career in Sydney. I first saw him perform many, many years ago in a crew called 463. When he moved to Melbourne about a year later Jaimez joined a new Melbourne crew called XLR8 (of which I was also a member). Eventually, in 2000, XLR8 joined with another crew called 'The Renegades' and we decided to rename the new collaboration as 'Rewind'. Fast forward to 2007, Jaimez takes to the world stage in the HHI as an original Rewinder with an extensive performance history and dance experience. He continues to develop and evolve his style - and his talent, dedication to the dance and friendship is a major part of why Rewind is so successful today...<br /><br /><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:12;" ><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Whats your full Name?:</span> James Bryan Fermalin.<br /><br /><strong>How long have you been dancing?:</strong><br />A very long time... and continuing to train & work on different styles...<br /><br /><strong>Which crews have you performed with?: </strong><br />Sydney Crews: XLR8, Oh Shore (aka 463), Recently featured with Beatphonik for Groove '07<br /><br />REWIND for life! <br /><br /><strong>What has been your most memorable experience with Hip hop dance and why?: </strong><br />Meeting most of my close mates through the opportunities in dancing with other crews from Sydney & Melbourne. Being a part Rewind - my family...and meeting my girlfriend Monica... phwooaah (Your so sweet Jaimez! ~Wez)<br /><br /><strong>What are you looking forward to most about going to LA and competing at HHI?: </strong><br />The experience of competing against other countries and meeting the other crews. Plus the fun that we're gonna have, experiencing it all with my crew.. Just wish the rest of us could have made it... next time!!!<br /><br /><strong>Do you have any tips for other hip hop dance crews or dancers?: </strong><br />Keep dancing.. do as many classes as you can. Dance because you love it and enjoy it.. not for the fame.<br /><br /><img src="http://lh5.google.com/thenationofsound/Ronvs3-UTjI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/kAjEFCIgEKM/218736902.jpg?imgmax=512"> <br /><em>Picture Description: Jamiez and Monica, from BP</em><br /></span>AtomiKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03134268822144381919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-756858793042480483.post-43996003625237514682007-07-02T09:22:00.000+10:002007-07-03T20:03:07.690+10:00A Weekend Review of Entertainment in Melbourne...<img src="http://visitkn.com/images/stories/event/soultrain/112-160.jpg"><br /><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:12;" ><br />Thought I'd cover what Rewind has been up to other than the HHI. It was a bit of a struggle to get up Monday morning as I had quite an eventful weekend - International artists, Dance shows, Modeling, Djing, Musicals and Movies- Its damn tiring but I love the Entertainment industry :).<br /><br /><strong>Friday night-</strong><br /><br />After my set at Bass Lounge, hopped over to my resident club Platform 1 to meet and check out Q from 112. His show wasn't too bad and he sang quite a few songs and worked the crowd really well. 112 haven't had too many hits lately, and his tour had an obvious link to his upcoming solo album as well as a new one from the 112 boys. The club was packed as expected with other local talent performing as well as the some of the Viking dancers. Can't wait for the next few acts: Amongst them is Bobby Brown (Humping Around, My Prerogative) and Cassie (Me and You, produced by Ryan Leslie) who is coming out to Melbourne in a month or so...<br /><br /><strong>Saturday- </strong><br /><img src="http://visitkn.com/images/stories/event/club_onceoff/vinny/rtb-160.jpg"><br />I caught the afternoon show of Miss Saigon. Musicals have have recently become something of a phenomenon for me, fusing dance, music and production at its highest quality. The talent in this show is unbelievable and I recommend that anyone into dance or entertainment production see this show.<br /><br />Next week, Rewinds sponsor, Aspirations Hair will hold another 2 entries to the Catwalk competition at the annual "Hair in Fashion Australia" expo (This year at the Melbourne Convention center) with production supported by the Rewind team. I went to their rehearsals that evening to see how things were going and who the hotties were this year. (www.hbia.com.au for more info about the event)<br /><br />Headed off to Hush Bar that evening and after rockin the crowd with my set, I met Vinnie from Naughty By Nature (OPP, Hip hop hooray, Holiday...) who was promoting the Roc the Block tour. It was great to meet a member of Naughty as they were a huge influence for me growing up in the hip hop scene.<br /><br />Amongst other things happening this weekend was the Wanted Dance Hip hop dance comp (Judged by Vince, Liz and Robot girl) and Rehearsals for Czarinas upcoming album launch, also choreographed by Vince (I'll be Djing there too). Stay tuned for that.<br /><br />Lastly, took some time out on Sunday to watch another huge influence for me growing up- Transformers! I must say that 'Transformers' is a great movie that everyone should watch!<br /><br />3 Weeks to go to HHI...Keepin you posted<br /><br />Wez<br /><br /></span>AtomiKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03134268822144381919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-756858793042480483.post-24748200335275299152007-06-28T00:47:00.000+10:002007-06-30T21:52:00.238+10:00Rewind HHI Crew- Interview with Acey<img src="http://lh5.google.co.uk/thenationofsound/RoJITn-UTgI/AAAAAAAAAFg/SleifPi29PQ/s144/IMG_1025.JPG"><img src="http://lh6.google.co.uk/thenationofsound/RoJIr3-UThI/AAAAAAAAAFw/tW9_P8nJ8u8/s144/IMG_1071.JPG"><img src="http://lh3.google.co.uk/thenationofsound/RoJLJH-UTiI/AAAAAAAAAF0/cBYqJJTItx4/s144/IMG_1330.JPG" /><br /><em>Picture Description: Acey</em><br /><br />I first got to know Acey (Short for his real name - Acey...A.C.) at a concert show at Dallas Brookes when he was still with Vikings a few years ago. Back then he was heavily into breaking which formed the basis for his dance experience as he branched off more into hip hop choreography with his involvement in Vikings, Detour and now, Rewind. His breaking background has made him into a very flexible and versatile Hip hop dancer- as its given him balls to never be afraid to try anything new, no matter how physically challenging the dance move/routine may be...<br /><br />Other facts: He has also recently got married- congrats from all of us once again Ace!

With some initial issues, the costumes are now finalised and ready to roll. I can only describe it as simple, effective and comfortable- and it should work well. The mix is currently undergoing its <span style="font-style:italic;">7th draft</span> as we look to chop it shorter from 2.09 min to 2.00 exactly. The rules are STRICT and we don't wanna f!@# our chances because of a formality...<br /><br /><br />Rewind leaves one week before the comp and most of the crew plan to stay at least 3 weeks. The US will under go its national comp a few days before where six of finalists will compete in the preliminaries. I figure this is a kinda 'filtering' round to boot out the shows which don't qualify on an international scale. Makes me wonder if the US will have a few entries who get past the prelims?<br /><br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/B9A90DGK1kw"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/B9A90DGK1kw" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><p><br /><em>Video Description: Sydney crew, Psalms at Groove Blacktown</em><br /><br />There is only one other second entry I know of from Australia. Representing Sydney is a crew called Psalms. They blew up on the dance scene in Sydney with their entries into the Groove competitions and Battlegrounds- taking out the national title last year (but still not beating NuSkool on the international side- a crew we would LOVE to compete against again...). <br /><br />We don't know them personally but from what i have seen they are all very talented dancers (especially that damn lee roc- was he born with springs in his feet?) and we wish them all the luck whilst in LA. I cant really think of two better crews to represent our little ol' country of AUS. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Question: If you got the chance to fly an OZ crew to the US to represent Australia, which ones will you pick n why?</span><br />(examples? BP, 7 Sins, Psalms, NuSkool, oh ...and Rewind- Yes, you can say your own crew...) <br /></span>AtomiKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03134268822144381919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-756858793042480483.post-32943119909871346372007-06-24T17:45:00.000+10:002007-06-27T20:51:55.965+10:00Cohiba and Behind the Scenes<object width="425" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OKEjzdYjG_8"> </param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OKEjzdYjG_8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> </embed> </object><br /><p class="style1"><br /><em>Picture Description: Vince doing Mario Vazques- Cohiba</em></p><br /><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:12;" ><br />Im back with a double this time...<br /><br />'The Space' houses some of the best hip hop dance teachers in Melbourne.
