Thanks olibear.
“we CANNOT control everything, especially people who ‘push-in’ up the queues”.
Of course you can. You have security. They just need to be outside the door where the queue is and not inside. That way they can keep an eye on the line.
Cheers.
Im moving to Adelaide Which dance group is “Good” no offense ok.. pls. i want to be in a group that ‘s good. which group in Adelaide is the best???
I Dont want to be mean but im scared to be a dancer in austrailia because i’ve seen videos and i dont wanna be mean but i want to see better stronger dances from austrailians . sorry im not offending anyone. its just that coming from the philippines i feel that im going to a less stronger hip hop group. and this is just my second year of hiphop. in gradeschool i didnt even know this hiphop dance or anything but since i joined my dance group in highschool i got better and i wanna get better i wanna learn. im still in highschool pls. reply
you are in the wrong state
hey Filipinodancer, there are a few Hip Hop dance schools in Adelaide already, it’s just a matter of you checking out their
dance schools there, and getting in contact with any of their established dance crews…
it’s really up to you to do your research and i’m sure you would need to rehearse first in order to get a dance crew to accept you… try contacting Afrodite on 0417 824 403 of Dance Flava Studios. Start from there…
Also, go and check out Groove Hip Hop Competition in Adelaide on July 18th. It’ll be at the Scott Theatre at the Adelaide Uni…
peace.
Response to mitel:
“we CANNOT control everything, especially people who ‘push-in’ up the queues”.
Sorry to disappoint you but It’s exactly what it means, no venue can really control the “pushing-in” when it’s outside the venue…
our security crew won’t have jurisdiction and control over what goes on outside the venue.
It’s like when you go clubbing and the line is outside, the security guards will only be at the door and will ONLY control
the traffic at the door.
Plus the queues at Groove gets so long that it’s not possible to allocate a resource just for the queues.
that’s why we rely mostly on people to behave etc…
Hey Drumstick, not sure if you guys received my e-mail on the 25/06 about the Open and Junior Categories for Melb Groove One. So here they are again:
Groove 1st elimination on the 11th July 2009:
OPEN Crews:
Bounczn Dance Crew
MDX
Bkode
Alpha Delinkwentz
Tantrumm
JUNIOR Crews:
Urban Force Juniors
Urban Force Kids
Funk-a-licious
Unda-size
Sub Zero
Olibear, how about just get your security to stand just outside the door? That’s where the chaos is. They don’t need to watch the whole length of the queue. Also, you can’t really compare this event to a nightclub. This is supposed to be a family friendly event. You have parents as well as children lining up.
If you can’t really do that, then at least stick to your schedule.
Olibear, it is Groove’s responsibility to manage the queues and ensure the event is run in time. There is no excuses for this about being out of your control. It can be controlled. If you’re working in the entertainment industry, learn to deal with it. Plan ahead.
is it just me or are people becoming more fussy and needy… honestly there are worse things then people pushing in a line… get over it you sound like a bunch of whining little kids
