Cairns post - Timeout got the cover story for Stomp the Nard
Here is a little read from the article;
“lot gets said about the youth of today.
However, words such as irresponsible, binge-drinking, violent and unmotivated couldn’t be further from the truth when talking about the people behind Cairns’ biggest and best-known urban dance battle, Stomp The Nard.
What started as an idea for a back alley dance competition in 2005, has evolved into an open-air, widely publicised event with about 3500 punters when it was last staged at the Esplanade Skate Park last year.
Created by Angelo Saliba (aka DJ A.N.G. from Evident Entertainment) and Mark “Montaj” Montajes, it features a wide selection of Cairns’ finest dance troops, including ThreeSixFive, Stylin Techniques and the all new AMAJ All Girl crew.
Along with television shows such as So You Think You Can Dance, it has been majorly responsible for the boom in urban dance styles such as breakdancing, krumpping, clowning and hip-hop in the Far North in recent times.
timeOUT caught up with some of the dancers and people behind the event to find out just what makes Stomp The Nard so special.”
