Visit from BBC

mike — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 09:44:51 -0500

Hey, just to let everyone know, somebody from the BBC may be dropping into one of the training sessions at some point in the near future. She is doing a small project:

"It is about audiences and whether they prefer live performers or would rather just look for them online or on TV in the comfort of their homes. I do not need anything professional, just a couple of photos, a short interview and maybe a short video. I am looking to edit it in a way that you can get that “live” feeling"

Jam Session @ Durdham Halls 15th October

Drew — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 13:18:16 -0400

Hey guys,

I've had a very quick reply from the president of Durdham's JCR, and he was wondering whether it's possible to make Saturday 15th October (so next week Saturday!) because that's their big event night so there is going to be a big crowd! It'll be at 9pm.

If I could have a definite yes or no by the beginning of next week, that would be amazing!

Talent Competition

mike — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 13:10:53 -0400

Good afternoon,

I’m currently looking for willing participants to film for a competition being run by Samsung Mobile. My former colleague Sarah Price (Le Roc teacher) suggested that I get in touch with you to ask if any of your members would be interested?

The general idea is that an entry of up to 2 minutes long is filmed and entered in to a YouTube hosted competition (www.youtube.com/samsungmobilemoments) for people to vote on. The winner of the monthly contest wins $3,000 and is entered in to the final completion against other monthly finalists for the chance to win $10,000. If this is of interest to you please let me know and we can arrange to send someone to film perhaps at one of your meetings.

Many thanks in advance for your time.

Kind regards,

Amy

Performance with the Pole Dancers at Wills Hall 09/10

Foztarz — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 16:26:32 -0400

Got an email from Emma of Polesoc asking if we can give them a hand with a performance at Wills Hall next Sunday. The organizers (as usual) are asking too much of them, they want 2 hours (8PM - 10PM) and the Polers don't have enough routines to fill that time so were hoping we could fill some intermissions for them.

She's asking for free drinks and free food from the organisers, but I also think this is exactly the kind of event we need to get freshers aware of- and interested in- breaking.

I'm down, we need to know pretty quickly if we can do this so post up if you want to get involved.

Fresher's Fair

mike — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 18:38:47 -0400

We are on on Thursday (6th Oct) 11am-7pm so if you can make it post here with rough times u are free and we can sort out a rota

Thanks!

AGM! We need a new committee! Meeting on the 15th May (Sunday) at 5pm in Anson Rooms

trilbytricks — Sun, 08 May 2011 07:33:03 -0400

Dear all,

As the academic year is quickly coming to an end, we need to elect our new committee for next year. We are looking for:

a President: who represents the society, makes sure everything is going smoothly and organises an effective committee;

a Secretary: who handles all the administrative stuff, deals with the Union and is the 'engine' of the society;

and a Treasurer: who is in charge of the money, makes sure we don't run out of it, handles grants and pays our teachers.

There are additional ranks such as Vice President and Social Secretary, having a big committee is a great thing, shares the workload.
We would like to have the AGM next week, location is TBA and would like to invite every member of the society, especially the people who are interested in being in next year's committee! It's more fun than it is hard work, it is a lovely society + looks pretty shiny on your CV!

Please put down your name if you are interested and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask us!
If you have rank specific questions, here are a reminder of who to contact (you can all catch us here or facebook):
Prez - László Tálas
Vice Prez - Alex Lombardo
Secretary - Kaete Robinson
Treasurer - Kevin Williams
Social Sec - Emma Howell

Luvz,
Committee

Putting the correct times on the calendar would be handy

gremble — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 02:53:31 -0400

Turned up at the Union yesterday at about 5:08, was told the whole place was booked out and there was not space, the session that was actually booked was for 7:00-9:00, not 5:00.

It said 5:00 on the calendar, so I cycled 2 miles to get told to go home, Foz also dragged his exam wearied ass over to the union too and had to go home.

Can people who maintain the calendar please put the correct times up. If you can't be bothered to do this properly, put a link to http://ubu.org.uk/societies-and-activities/hiring-things/room-bookings which will always (or at least more often) have the correct times.

Breaking Photography

Foztarz — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 05:23:08 -0400

Hey guys, my friend Charlie (who some of you have worked with before) want to do a private shoot with some breakers for one of his artistic projects.
He's asked me to warn you that the shoot may well involve you doing the same freeze/pose again and again, but the positive is that you get some incredible photos by a professional photographer (and take part in something creative, which is what hiphop is all about!).

Anyone who's interested can get in contact with Charlie directly via:
E-mail: info@charliecliftphotography.com
Phone: +44 (0) 7871175627
Facebook: facebook.com/charliecliftphoto
Twitter: twitter.com/charlieclift

Or let me know and I'll pass on the message.

Alternative to Break n Bake??????

izaak — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 06:41:43 -0400

yo
as there is no break n bake because of the loss of the speakers, couldn't we just have battles in the dance studio and someone can bring speakers? i think alot of people including myself have speakers so carrying on with a small event would be relatively easy right? also having it in the dance studio, i think, would create a better atmosphere than epi anyway! reckon it would be a nice leaving event for people moving out of bristol! what do people think?

Teach Pole Dancers to Break

Foztarz — Sat, 21 May 2011 10:16:21 -0400

Got a message this week from a couple of the pole dancers saying they wanna learn some breaking to put in their routine for the UK Amateur Pole Performer competition (which one of the Bristol girls won last year!). I've said I'll teach them some basics if they come along to training, anyone else wanna get involved (could probably do with someone with more than 3 moves :-P)?

Wills Hall Summer Ball - 17th June

trilbytricks — Tue, 03 May 2011 13:01:20 -0400

yo floorlickaz, we've been invited to perform at Wills' ball.

"The ball is on 17th June 2011 and features a 3 course meal, a multitude of acts, a range of fairground rides and other exciting forms of entertainment."

I believe there is a reason why they wrote us 3 course meal... 3 course meal... THREE... COURSE... MEAL...

Anyway, I believe this is a nice place to perform at, usual stuff and I'm there with decks, so sounds fun!

Only thing is I need asap responses!

Forum migration

iamkeir — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 14:30:22 -0400

Hey folks,

I've been geeking it up to the max these last few days, moving the forum from one server to another. You *shouldn't* notice any real difference but let me know if you have any problems.

Only things to note:
- http://breaksoc.com & http://bristolunibreakdance.com now both forward/redirect to this new forum at http://breaksoc.vanillaforums.com
- Avatar/profile pics didn't survive the migration so you'll need to re-upload those. Sorry about that.
