Dharnel Tamati-Fotualii, Liam Qiokata and Lenny Hansen-Wall have been successful as part of Anomaly Dance Studio groups and have qualified for upcoming international competitions.
All three are part of the 10-person group Scar. They competed in the Battlegrounds competition in Hamilton in March where they finished third and qualified to compete in the World Supremacy Battleground in Sydney in June. Scar won the New Zealand Only category at the HHI (Hip Hop International) competition in Auckland during the April school holidays and was first at the recent Kapiti Impact Dance competition.
Dharnel and Liam are also part of the Roar megacrew – a group of about 35 dancers – that won their category in the Battlegrounds competition in Hamilton, as well as being the highest-scoring group across all categories. This result qualified Roar to compete in the World Supremacy Battleground in Sydney in June. Roar were also the winners of their category at HHI (Hip Hop International) in Auckland, a result that sees them qualify for the World HHI competition in Arizona and August.
Congratulations and good luck to Dharnel, Liam and Lenny – it’s great to see your hard work and dedication rewarded!
