Feature - Active Aspiration’s Successful Dance Project
Hypnotick becomes the 2009 UDO British Street Dance Champion and are now more than ever unstoppable !
Active Aspirations is a non-profit organization whose main objectives are: “to assist young people to follow their dreams and achieve their goals” in the words of one of the Directors, Tekla Galova.
Last February, the organisation took young people who perform under the name Hypnotick, to Pontins in Somerset to compete in the annual British Street Dance Championship. They were accompanied by Miss Galova and the lead choreographer Mr. Taofeeq (Taz) Sanusi. The group of young dancers absolutely mesmerized the jury and the visitors of the British Street Dance Championship. The jury was left with no choice but to grant the 2009
Championship Title to Hypnotick for their absolutely stunning performance.
As a visitor said: “It was amazing! There are plenty of dance groups, but you can see here that, Hypnotick is more than just a dance group, they aim to go much further!” This echoes with the vision of Miss Galova and Mr.
Sanusi “Our vision is deeper; the aim of this group is to get together young people from all walks of life and show that there can be no boundaries for people to work together and create something nice and positive”.
The group was founded only last year. The project started with only two dancers and managed to build up a group of 20 young talented dancers. With origins from around the world, Hypnotick is a truly multicultural group that represents the spirit of London right now. As Miss Galova and Mr. Sanusi say: “We believe in teamwork, regardless of the backgrounds. If people work together, they can create and achieve something great and
positive. Hypnotick is not only about dancing, it represents and promotes values, such as Love, Respect, Multicultural Integrity, Forgiveness, Individuality & Teamwork.”
