WORKSHOPS & SDK CHALLENGE: HOW DOES IT WORK?
- Registration and Mentor Selection:
- Dancers register for the event and select their preferred mentor based on dance style.
- Mentors are divided into two groups: mentors for shows (hip hop, house) and mentors for battles (hip hop, house, funk, litefeet).
- Workshop Sessions:
- Dancers attend four sessions with their chosen mentor, delving into the mentor’s perspective, techniques, and dance vision.
- Mentors pick the top 20 dancers in the first two sessions and the top 5 in the third.
- Top students proceed to special training with mentors for the final show or battle.
- Flexibility and Additional Workshops:
- Dancers can attend workshops outside their mentor’s sessions and regular workshops featuring top duos from CZ & SK.
- All-in tickets include attendance at a total of 12 workshops.
- Final Show or Battle Preparation:
- Top dancers undergo special training with mentors, focusing on refining skills and routines through rehearsals, feedback sessions, and coaching.
- Final Show or Battle:
- The event concludes with a show or battle featuring top dancers and mentors, providing a platform to display the results of their training under the guidance of their mentors, growth and talent to the audience.
1/ First of all, it is necessary to explain that THE CHALLENGE is only an added value – a bonus to the workshops. Everything remains the same. As part of one SDK DANCER TICKET, you can choose which workshops you want. Please only choose workshops that you will actually go to! At the SDK, there will be a total of 6 world-class lecturers (mentors) and 6 great lecturer pairs from the Czech Republic and Central Europe.
2/ Within the challenge, you will choose only one most popular lecturer – MENTOR (in your most popular style) during registration, which will give you the chance to fight your way through 2 workshops among the top 20 and then possibly among the top 5 on stage. During these 2 mentoring workshops, no one drops out, you will enjoy all workshops to the fullest until the end.
You have the option to choose a MENTOR for 2 SHOW (hip hop, house) or 4 BATTLE TEAMS (hip hop, house, funk, litefeet) according to your preferences. Attention – do not choose other workshops in the registration in the same time when you have 2 workshops of your favorite lecturer!
At every workshop of the mentors there are:
- A/ students who are currently playing the challenge;
- B/ all other students who chose the workshop, but do not participate in the challenge of this mentor.
Every student who will be at the workshop of their chosen mentor will be marked on the left shoulder with a sticker of the mentor (everyone will receive it at check-in on the first day of the camp).
3/ If the MENTOR does not choose you after 2 workshops, nothing happens, you have visited his 2 mentoring workshops and you also participate in all the workshops of the other lecturers you have chosen.
4/ If you make it to the TOP 20, you will also get another bonus workshop and mentoring with your favorite mentor, and you will try to fight your way up to the TOP 5 on the stage alongside him.
5/ So on the last day we will see 2 SHOWS and 4 BATTLE teams of all 6 world mentors, always with their TOP 5 best dancers, with whom they will prepare for the final SHOW/BATTLE. 30 dancers will succeed and make their dream come true.
WHY THIS CONCEPT?
The goal is to create a camp where every dancer can live their unique dance story. Carefully selecting mentors ensures that we provide not only great dancers but also excellent people and, most importantly, exceptional teachers.
We believe this concept will be enjoyable for the dance schools managers. We plan to work closely with mentors, creating videos to enhance our communication with dancers.
