Straight from Jamaica Observer:
The Calivilee dance group in action at the Ocean Village Shopping Centre in Ocho Rios on Friday (July 10). Calivilee was one of six groups, which showcased their talent at the St. Ann eliminations for the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission's (JCDC) World Reggae Dance Championships.More than $1 million in cash and prizes are up for grabs at the national finals, which will be staged on August 1 at the Ranny Williams Entertainment Centre in Kingston.
The Dustville group, which participated in the elimination round for St Ann held on Friday (July 10) at the Ocean Village Shopping Centre, performed an entertaining and well-choreographed dancehall piece,
which went over well with the Ocho Rios audience.
Mickhugh told JIS News that he was pleased with the performance, noting that the group was well prepared. He said that the six members have been practising for the competition for almost a year.
"We entered the competition last year and we were just waiting for it this year. Last year, we took the competition a bit simple and we went there and saw a lot of things, which made us realise that we would have to come better this year, so we worked on it throughout this whole time and we intend to do our best in this one," he stated.
After an exciting performance, the Caliville group, also from Steer Town, is confident of a callback from the JCDC. Group leader Kaderoy Wilson, said that Caliville was prepared to represent the parish at the national finals.
"Our group has been around for two years now and we have had the opportunity to enter many competitions including the Tastee Talent competition and the JCDC Festival," he told JIS News.
"We know that we are the best and we have come here to show JCDC what we can do and to make our parish proud," he added confidently.
The St James leg of the eliminations will be held on July 17 at Sam Sharpe Square in Montego Bay, while the Kingston eliminations will be held on July 20 at the Ranny Williams Entertainment Centre.
