The Cambridge dance group's high-energy show at Westminster's Banqueting House yesterday (Tuesday October 20) was kept top secret until the last minute. Guests at the Justice Awards included Attorney General Baroness Scotland, Home Secretary Alan Johnson and David Hanson, Minister for Policing and Security. Dance Offensive were the surprise star act at the awards, hosted by Crimewatch UK presenter Matthew Amroliwala. Eight young Cambridge performers, ranging in age from 13 to 21, gave a stunning performance, combining breakdancing with hip hop moves. Afterwards artistic director Paul Sadot was invited on stage to talk about the work Dance Offensive does in engaging young people and preventing youth crime. The company, whose members include referrals from the Cambridgeshire Youth Offending Service, engages with hundreds of young people each year and delivers 15 hours of free classes each week. Paul formed Dance Offensive in 2006 with the aim of integrating at risk youth with mainstream members. He said: "We promote, via dance, a sense of social and communal care and responsibility and this provides a positive focus for a lot of young people. " The eight dancers performing at Westminster had rehearsed their Unify dance piece for the past couple of months, putting in lots of hard work to perfect it. Jana Harmitt-Read, 16, woke up at 6.30am to make the train to London on Tuesday morning. "I set three alarms just to wake up. My brother got annoyed with them going off." She said she'd felt nervous but once the group started rehearsing, her adrenaline had kicked in and she couldn't wait to perform. The crew's oldest performer Samriye A-dirie, 21, was up till 1.30am the night before the Justice Awards, practising his breakdancing technique. Samriye first became interested in Capoeira, a form of Brazilian street dancing, at his secondary school in Manchester at the age of 14. It was there that he met Paul, a Capoeira master. The latter was so impressed by Samriye's skills that he decided to mentor him. These days Samriye is Dance Offensive's breakdance teacher, inspiring other youngsters. He said: "Over the past two years a lot of them have come up from beginners to advanced dancers. Hopefully they will become the next generation of great breakers." Mr Sadot said it was a "privilege and an honour" to headline at the Justice Awards, a national ceremony recognising justice staff who've gone the extra mile. Dance Offensive will perform at the Mumford Theatre in Cambridge on December 7. The Pressure Drop 2 show will feature some of the country's top dance professionals, including extreme martial arts champion Chloe Bruce. For more details see www.danceoffensive.co.uk. ENDS

Sold mine cheap acouple of years back....didnt like the country and western style vocal...

Ion, there was a long thread on this subject PROTEST SOUL on here last year....dont know how to look it up though.

Its beyond FUNNY!!! What is that woman doing rolling on the floor! PLEASE STOP COMPETITIONS!

Whats the point, watching a load of old duffers doing bad acrobatics or watching them do steps they used to do when they were 16! Grow old gracefully and dance as your soul demands...listen with new ears and adapt to the times. The other extreme, i once saw at Cleethorpes, is a bunch of Japanese guts dancing like Keb, but without any soul or timing or musical feeling...so, in fact, nothing like Keb! Time to stop the competition thing, it was right in the 70's, but unless new , younger blood enters the Northern Soul scene, it remains a sad anachronism. Also, they are usually judged by a bunch of dj's who dont really dance themselves! And surely dancing cannot be judged...its a subjective expression of joy, feeling and hopefully, soul. I have never seen thse emotions surface in a dance competition, BUT have witnessed them at events, observing people just dancing for themselves......as it should be.. The people who usually want dance competitions are those who rate themselves as good dancers...which is a consquence of ego and usually means, for me, they are shite at dancing! Peace.

dont worry, ill be playing it at Boutique next month. Its a hard one. I gave Karl H one and i have one, both look battered!

That makes them dirty bas---ds then!
