MJ Dance Off

What and Where: Century Ballroom and Velocity Dance Center are pairing up to present a fun and fabulous fundraiser to bring community awareness and participation to their most recent ventures: the new home of Velocity at the Capitol Hill Arts Center and the new event space/dance hall for the Century, West Hall.

To Participate: All levels, all ages, all ethnicities, genders, and sexualities are invited to participate; all you need to do is get a group together, large or small, study and learn your favorite Michael Jackson routine and show us what you've got. Based on the audition tapes, groups will be chosen to perform and compete in the event in West Hall on November 14th.

To Enter: Either post your video on YouTube and send the link to Office@CenturyBallroom.com or you can send the hard copy on CD or DVD to the Century Ballroom office at 915 E. Pine St, second floor, 206-324-7263.

Folks can enter to be judged in any of the following categories:

* Best actual representation

* Largest group

* Best costuming/makeup

* Most original

Please limit your routine to three minutes or less.

The Event: This is a night not to miss!! Be prepared to take a trip back to when a single white glove was the height of fashion with a night of DJ'd soul and funk, peppered every half an hour or so with the finalists' performances. At the end of the night, when all of the booties have been shaken and hips popped, the winners will be announced!
