The Soulmatez Crew To Represent Nepal At Battle Of The Year 2016 In Thailand


It hasn’t been long and most probably, only after the rise in popularity of YouTube; we’ve started realizing that how talented Nepal’s dancers are. Of course we did know that they are good but knowing that they are so good that they can not only compete with the aces of dancing but also have fair chances of winning. While The Wild Ripperz Crew and Sushant Khatri are making Nepal proud at the grand stage of Star Plus TV reality dancing show Dance+ Season 2 in India; another Nepalese crew are all set to fly abroad to represent Nepal at a prestigious international dance competition.

The national competition of Battle of the Year 2016 took place in Kathmandu on August 27th which was judged by the popular Thai B-boy G1. The Soulmatez Crew from Pokhara had succeeded in winning the national title in the event organized by MN Entertainment and Fem Nepal. The crew that consists of Prince Tulachan (19), Kalin Bhansakarya (20), Nima Dawa Sherpa (20), Manoj Tamang (24), Kiran Pemi Magar (20), Kritagya Bikram Rana (16), Sanjay Gurung (17) , Roshan Pariyar (16) Sahil Pathan (19) and Bishal Gurung (22) will now be competing with the crews from China, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Laos, Indonesia and Vietnam at the continental qualifiers. The winning crew will then qualify to the world finals to be held in Germany where they will not only represent their country but the entire continent.

The crew formed in 2013 have left for Thailand today on September 9th where they will be competing at the South East Asia qualifiers on coming Sunday. A crew member talked to NeoStuffs before leaving for Thailand, “As Nepal is still behind in the international breaking scene, we are looking forward to change that status. Our target is to open the golden gates of HipHop dancing for Nepal by showing at such a prestigious platform that Nepali dancers are no less than any international breakers,” Prince Tulachan said over the phone. “We know that it’s going to be a tough competition as the contenders are some of the finest dancers from around the world, but we are going to give it our best shot and try our best to make Nepal proud”, he further added.

The full videos from the country qualifiers in Kathmandu are yet to be released but in the meantime, here’s a short teaser of the event.

You can find the crew on Facebook.

Go guys, and make us proud. All the best!
