RoboDance!
On 12 November 2008, there is a unique event coming up. Watch a professional DJ jamming with dancing robots together on stage!

The event is called RoboDance@iSHOP. It requires teams to submit a short video clip of their performance back in school, and ultimately get these clips displayed online and in iSHOP. The best ones will be invited to perform in public, in front of live audience and judges to clinch the grand award.

There is a whole Science and career path behind DJs in the music industry, way beyond the night scenes only. Participants will appreciate segments of music theory, how to match beats (bpm), ensuring octaves match, and of course learn to scratch discs and mix musical tracks.

Robots break dancing is already exciting enough, and further watching some students becoming DJs to add in music, plus throw in a few more break dancers, and you will have a great party, not just a competition.

Email to indicate your interest and get more information.
