Hey readers, this is Jason Nogueda with my first post. I'm the head photographer for The Urban Inquisitor but I do dabble in the writing aspect from time to time. So as we walked up to the school where the dance battle where Constant Movement and Urban Influence were going to throw it down. The positive energy and music were surging through the air and that set the stage for a goodnight. As we entered the dance room, you could feel the excitement and the good vibes but underlying that was the tension. I looked around for a good vantage point for photos but every free space seemed to be filled by eager people wanting the battle to start. The music stopped and the crews were called up to the center for what would be an exhibition of skill and creativity. First to start was Constant movement where their first dancer opened up with some well tied together popping and locking. To that, Urban Influence's Kippy Ebiya, replied with a "swagged out" proformance that left the crowd cheering. This back and forward went on but the most notable things were that while Urban Influence proformed exciting, well timed, and most of all Classic moves with original flow; Constant Movement exhibited popular, trendy, and sadly... played out moves such as: Jerking, Dougieing, and Shuffling. It was clear and easy to say that Urban Influence had the upper hand; until the DJ played a song that had no potential for Urban Influence's flow, but as soon as the song changed they picked up the pace. Unfortunately the easily recognizable moves that Constant Movement displayed sawayed the audience enough for them to decide Constant Movement's victory. Urban Influence was immediately shocked and went outside to their mentor who gave them feed back. We walked near them and over heared their mentor give them advice on them being stumped about the song that caught them like a dear in the headlights. The Constant Movement group had chatter about an after party and I took my chance and asked for a quick photo. This task seemed to be rather difficult for the group as they tried to round every body up, after congratulating them i went back to the Urban Influence side where I was surprised to see that the recent loss did not affect the crew, on the contrary they seemed to pull themselves up like a family. As we walked out and I asked for a picture, they had a playfull brotherly demeanor and happily had their picture taken. In our book Urban Influence took it. To Constant Movement, nothing personal, just observations. You guys both have remarkable talent and love for dance, I hope to be able to capture your growth and expericences pursueing perfection in your arts.

I hope you enjoyed my first clip and hope to give you the insight that every Inquisitor in our ranks strives to reveal and inject into the mainstream of false. PS: My DSLR's battery died as the show was going to start so I had to take the pictures with my phone
