CHICAGO DANCE COMPETITION RETURNS BIGGER, BETTER, AND STAR STUDDED!
 
Hip Hop artist Soulja Boy headlines Dance Down 2008, the premiere freestyle dance competition.  Chris Brown wowed the crowd at Dance Down 2007.  This year’s star studded event features Omarion, Lloyd, Yung Berg, and V.I.C!  
Dance Down 2008 is one of the biggest dance competitions in the Midwest exhibiting “free style” and “footwork” dance techniques.  Just as “Stepping” is a Chicago-based dance style, a new generation of dancers are coming forward with a unique dance style all their own.  Commonly known as “footwork” or “freestyle”, dancers demonstrate complex body movements and amazing syncopated foot movements, usually to Hip Hop music.    
This is the third annual Dance Down competition.  Dance Down 2006 was wildly successful, as dancers performed for a sold out arena of over 9,000 fans in Chicago at the UIC Pavilion.  Dance Down 2007 featured surprise guest Bow Wow at the Genesis Convention Center in Gary, Indiana.  This year’s Special Guest is MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew contestants, “Fysh and Chicks”!.
Dance Down 2008 returns to the UIC Pavilion, 1150 West Harrison, Chicago, IL. on Friday October 3, 2008.  Show starts at 7:00 PM; Doors open at 6:00 PM; general admission tickets are only $20.00.  Tickets are available at the UIC Pavilion box office and Ticketmaster, www.ticketmaster.com.  
Dance Down 2008 is sponsored by Ariel Capital Management LLC, Boost Mobile, Gold Coast Tickets, and the National Black McDonald’s Operators Association.  Listen to Power 92 (92.3 FM), for a chance to win tickets to Dance Down 2008!  Special celebrity hosts, BET’s 106 & Park’s Terrence and Rocsi.  Dance Down 2008 is a Mark Yucan production.
