Prelude Norcal was such a great success! Fortunately, we had the support of our really great sponsors who helped us capture all of the night’s highlights!
FKN Famous: Check out some sick action shots from their staff photographer, Jerry Rodrigo. For future inquires please contact him directly at jerry@fkn-famous.com.
The Opportunity: Ian Hallili and The Opportunity Staff provided great video coverage of last week’s event! If you missed out on all of the great performances of the night, be sure to check out their YouTube Channel.

8Asians: One of our dancers and directors, Denise Chan, partnered up with 8Asians.com to write a Guest Blog Post recapping her experience with Prelude Norcal. Written from the perspective of Prelude Norcal Company Manager, it’s a great behind-the-scenes look at Prelude Norcal; an event 10 months in the making.

After ten months of intense preparation, the day of Prelude Norcal 2011 finally arrived! Still, even on the day of the big event, we needed all the Stacks members to help set-up the big event. Main Stacks members met up early in the morning at Chabot College’s Performing Arts Center at 10:30am to get a head-start on the day!
With all the stacks members (and a few volunteering hands) set-up was able to run smoothly and quickly. Right away, we found ourselves with more than a little extra free time.
We even found some of our ladies of the night doing some last minute advertising for ticket sales. Get it Julia and Bao!
As teams began registering, they were welcomed by amazing Go Team posters made by Main Stacks members! YOU BETTA WERK!
Part of the intent of prelude is to not only give teams from all over California the opportunity to showcase their hard work in a competitive environment, but to also foster friendships and build networks in the hip hop dance community. So team runners introduced “The Team Game” in which teams would take pictures with two members from another team and they would have to do a certain pose in order to win points. The team that was able to take the most pictures won the Team Congeniality award!
We also had a photobooth station filled with fortune teller/Main Stacks props for people –both dancers and audience members– to take pictures with.
Throughout the day, many teams were constantly practicing and getting ready for their big moment on stage.
Once the clock hit 6:00PM, Prelude Norcal 2011 began right away, hosted by the one and only Main Stacks alumni, Huan! And every team, one after the other, began putting themselves out on the stage. Each team showed how hard they’ve been working to earn first place. They brought nothing less than their A game and held nothing back.
After all the teams performed, it was time for the closing ceremony. Everyone ran up to the stage and squeezed together as they awaited the announcement of who would win first, second, and third place.
Congratulations to the winners of first place AND best costume, Kaba Modern!
And also congratulations to iDK on second place and Barkada Modern on third place!
