The Albany Hard Dance crew worked so hard and threw an amazing event at a wonderful place called The Fuze Box. The event "Malice In Wonderland" showed throughout the venue. The decor was expertly done and I was pleased at the little candy table that displayed free pieces with "AHD" and the words "We're all mad here". People dressed for the event and I was delighted that everyone truly got into the spirit of rave and the theme.
First I will begin by saying that the venue and it's staff were so accommodating and respectful. Being a NYC girl, I was a bit shocked. They ran the bar with positivity and patience. very attentive to the need of guests and made sure that everyone left with a smile on their faces. No matter how busy or tired they were they never allowed it to show. The overall crowd was so kind and friendly (again another shock).
I watched as the hosts (Joe and Melody Kelly) ran all over making sure everything and everyone was ok and having a good time. They showed how much the love the scene and I can say that they did a FANTASTIC job. They are truly about the love and it shows.
Now I must say I was a bit biased LOL. I went to see DJ Venom and DJ Zydrate because I haven't rocked out to them in a very long time. It was great seeing you guys on stage! As usual they killed it and left me worn out and sore. BUT, I got to see some amazing new talent that I cant wait to introduce you to hopefully in a later blog post.
DJ Dice was a great surprise and he left me needing a short break LOL.
Usually when I attend events the opening artist is considered a place holder. No one really pays attention to them or how much passion they put into their work. I reached the venue early and the dance floor was alive! Dingmvn was giving all he had and although I was trying to conserve my energy I couldn't help but dance a bit. GREAT JOB!!! I found out it was his first event ever and I hope that it isn't his last.
Melody and Joe did something that I haven't seen done in a very, VERY long time. They produced a lineup of incredible talent and kept that venue alive ALL NIGHT LONG. There wasn't a moment where I was thinking about other things or that I wanted to leave because of a set. The artists were so humble and gave out all the love the were given.
I strongly suggest that you keep and eye out for Albany Hard Dance, it's events and the amazing talent. I am still in a state of excitement and I wish I could go back. You all did an amazing job. Thank you for giving your heart, soul, passion and talents.
