Center Stage.

Everyday rehearsals, sacrifices, fighting with other crew members, hand injuries, knee injuries, ankle injuries, blood, sweat, tears...it all came down to that 1 minute and 59 seconds. That's all we had to prove to everyone that our crew deserved it, that we could rep Canada better than anyone else one, and to make Yoshi proud.

In the end a whole 5.5 points separated us from first place. I know after Friday night some of you may think that all that we did was for nothing. But we can't just dwell on the lost opportunity. We beat out everyone in Vancouver, that is something I'm so proud to have accomplished with you guys. We all know it, but I'm going to say it anyways. No crew in Vancouver is like us. No one can match footwork like us, no one can do the tricks we execute, and no one pull off any of our past routines up until now. We've accomplished all of this and some of us have yet to even graduate high school.

I don't know what the future holds for this crew but for me it would be a shame to quit after being SO CLOSE to what we all want the most. But no matter what, Elktrik you're my number 1 crew. Always have and will always be, I love you guys.


I also want to thank our Mentor / Instructor / Choreographer Yoshi Hisanaga. We wouldn't be
Elktrik without you. You didn't just teach us breaking moves or how to dance. You taught us the real meaning of hip hop and taught us what it means to BE a dancer. You're hard work ethic, dedication, and drive inspired us all. No matter how much we tease and make fun of you- we all really respect you and hope to be as dedicated and hard working. We just don't show it. Most of all we love you Yoshi. To us you're more than a mentor, instructor, or choreographer- you're family. Thank you for being so patient with us and honing our skills and abilities to what they are now.



Elktrik, we destroyed that stage and everyone who danced on it.
Be proud.
