They came, danced and conquered the dance floor!

The stage was set at Eastin Hotel’s grand ballroom on 10th April 2011. 22 couples from various dance schools in the Klang Valley took part on the 2nd Annual Outcast Salsa competition organised by Outcast Dance studio.

Over 200 salsa enthusiasts turned up to lend support to the competitors. What was interesting to note was that the routines that were performed was a pleasant mix of hiphop , latin, contemporary, afro , tango and more.  It was apparent that each school had their own unique flair.

Apart from the TOP 3 placings which gives out a nice cash award and a huge trophy, there was also prizes for:

Hot babe award, Cool dude award, Superhero award, Shiniest award, Communication award, Grooviest award, Creative award, Fashion award, Smiliest award, and the “Emo” award,

SalsaJay’s very own Pip and Valerie wowed the crowd with a hiphop/salsa fusion routine to Ne-yo’s One in a Million and Tito Puente’s “Para los rumberos”. Though they didn’t placed Top 3, they were the only couple that day to take home 2 awards  – Most Smiliest , and the converted People’s Choice Award.

The crowd were also entertained by beautiful Venezuelan Folk Dance by Patricia Calzadilla from Ritmo Latino, a jazz inspired hiphop routine by one of the top Hip Hop group in Malaysia, Floor Fever, and an entertaining spontaneous performance by Host, Gavin Chan (Founder of Outcast Dance Studio), who did an Alfro Cuban & Popping demonstration as requested by the audience.

Congratulations to all the winners and participants of the 2nd Annual Outcast Salsa Competition. You have made your teachers, your supporters, and your family ….very proud!
