PRE-INSPIRATION WEEKEND DANCE! Join in our "Inspiration Competition" to win competitor passes to Inspiration Weekend. Host/House DJ: Ben and Sheri. Plus Special Guest DJs Kennly Asato and Vicky Chan.
Congrats to our Inspiration Competition Winners!
Joel from Australia
Holly Thomas Yang
What was the Inspiration Competition?
Well, many of us are a bit competition'd out from Camp Hollywood, but we didn't want to just give our passes out. We had to make you guys work for out, thus our "Inspiration Competition". This is how it happened:
1. Come out to the floor!
Anyone who wanted the passes was asked to come out on the floor.
2. Name that tune!
Each person who correctly guessed a tune could pick a partner to work with for the finals.
3. Finalists dance to "You're The Inspiration"
Criteria was teamwork and inspirational factor. We had five finalists (* indicates tune namer):
Brian Begun* and Kristin Lovell, Joel from Australia* and Kelly Thomas, Jason Vaughan and ??*, Julius Yang* and Holly Yang, Everest Ling* and ??.
4. Dance-Off:
We couldn't choose one couple after the finals so we had a dance-off: Brian Begun and Kristin Lovell, Joel from Australia and Kelly Thomas, Julius Yang and Holly Yang. Dance-Off was to "Oh Sherry". At this point partners kept switching couples so we awarded the two passes to the two best individuals:
5. WINNERS:
Congrats to Joel from Australia and Holly Thomas Yang
