The
search for Asia’s Best Dance Crew is on!
Rémy
Martin Centaur Dance Showdown 2012
to
make its debut in Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur, 17 October 2012 – Rémy Martin, the ‘Heart
of Cognac’, has embarked on a search for the region’s best dance
crew with its Centaur Dance Showdown making its way to Malaysia for the first
time.
The competition is set to find the
greatest dance talent across 6 countries; namely Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand,
Vietnam, Philippines and India in a series of preliminary rounds that will be
the battlegrounds for ardent dance crews in their pursuit of fame and
recognition of their talent. Following the success of the inaugural competition
held in Vietnam last year, Rémy Martin was inspired to extend the competition
regionally, discovering the most outstanding dance groups in each of the 6
countries before holding the final round of the Centaur Dance Showdown in
Singapore next January 2013.
“We are delighted to provide
these gifted performers with the platform from which they may showcase their
passion, creativity, refined skills and undeniable talent to both a national
and international audience. For the first time in Malaysia, the Rémy Martin
Centaur Dance Showdown will give these dancers the opportunity to demonstrate
their artistry and finesse in choreographed routines, competing against the
region’s finest urban street dancers for the title of Asia’s Best
Dance Crew,” said Mr. Laurent Soulat, Regional Marketing Manager for
South East Asia, Middle East & India, Rémy Cointreau International.
“Rémy Martin is known for
being a cognac brand that epitomises vitality and superior quality. These are
two attributes which can also be found in the dance groups competing in the
Centaur Dance Showdown,” he added.
If you have dedicated yourself to the
art of dance or have simply been inspired by the latest Step Up movie, this
regional competition will provide you with the perfect opportunity to put your
moves to good use!
Each team consists of 5 people, with
all members aged 18 years or above and of Malaysian nationality (non-Muslim),

The top 10 crews with the highest
scores and public votes will compete before the judges in the Rémy Martin
Centaur Dance Showdown Malaysia Finals at Sunway Giza on 30 November 2012. The
champion will be chosen based on criteria such as overall performance,
creativity, showmanship and stage presence, synchronization and execution and
musicality, and will go on to represent Malaysia in the International Finals in
Singapore on 18 January 2013.
The winning Malaysian team will not
only have the honour of representing Malaysia in the International Finals in
Singapore but will also take away RM10,000. First and second runners up
won’t walk away empty-handed; receiving RM6,000 and RM3,000 respectively.
Rémy Martin’s brand ambassador
and international superstar, Jolin Tsai, is set to grace the International
Finals; lending her experience as a dancer and taking a seat at the judging
panel. As an additional treat for the expected 1,000 invited guests and
audience members, Jolin will hold a mini-concert; entertaining the crowd with
some of her greatest hits.
