The Untitled51 team promised more action and something bigger than events they’ve held in the past and they delivered. They advised dancers to “come hard and put their best foot forward” in an effort to bring their passion to life, and over 20 groups of young people between the ages of 15 and 25 showed up and did just that and then some.
According to event organizer Michael Robinson, the group has held four major dance events thus far, and their most recent event was the most successful in terms of the level of participation and crowd support. The event featured various genres of music, from Dancehall and Hip Hop to Pop and R&B and dancers had the option of bringing their own music.
“It’s a free up vibe,” Robinson told the STAR. “The DJ plays music randomly and whoever wants to dance comes on. It’s a positive vibe and it’s open to anyone who wants to showcase their talent. We don’t support alcohol, smoking or crime. We always remind the youth that all those things can be done on the dance floor—you can make love on the dance floor, smoke, drink—in the form of dance. Get high off the music.
Although music plays a vital part, Untitled51 isn’t all about dancing. Group members possess a wide range of talents including videography, photography, art and music, motor cross riding, set design and more. Organizers say their aim is to open an avenue featuring talents exclusive to St Lucia by providing a unique level of production and professionalism.
Executive members include 19-year-old founder Jelani Paul, Daran Rosemond, Michael Robinson, Rosalia Samuel, Gina Maraj, Dyllan Boulogne, Kamara Lee, Chelsea Foster, Leandra Foster, Nyaim James, Tonia Antonio, Keran Rosemond and Inga Auguste.
For the time being their dance events serve as precursor for a grand dance event called ‘Fusion X’ to be held in December. Their monthly events are meant to build up the hype leading to what could be a major knock out dance competition. Untitled 51’s next event may well be held in the south of the island, at a date soon to be announced.
“We’d like to thank BDO for allowing us to use the area,” organizer Daran Rosemond told the STAR. “If it wasn’t for them we wouldn’t have a place to hold the event. Vladrozr provided financial assistance.
Technical assistance was provided by Landmark Events. Kurtis Rosemond helped with the lighting. Other sponsors included Maraj and Company, Rusty Ranks Sound System and Island Crew Sounds.”
