Rock the Spot


Rock the Spot, sometimes referred as RTS, is an annual b-boying event held in London, Ontario, Canada. The event attracts spectators and dancers from around Ontario as well as nearby areas such as Quebec, Michigan, and New York. The main feature of the event is a breakdance competition between crews however, there are often performances by specially invited dance groups which showcase funk or choreographed hip hop dance acts before or between rounds of the competition. Winners of the competition are chosen by a panel of special guest judges and prizes are awarded.

History

Rock the Spot first took place on June 2, 2001, and was organized by Kyler Ayim and Matthew Kang. The original Rock the Spot was a success, however there was no event the following years until it was reinstated by main organizer Joseph Chen-Fu Hsieh and executive members of the UWO Breakers, a breakdancing club at the University of Western Ontario, in 2005.
The original organizers no longer have a major role in organizing the now yearly event, however, they have remained a part of RTS as the Master of Ceremonies and as a judge. Rock the Spot 2 and Rock the Spot 3 took place on March 25, 2005, and February 18, 2006, respectively, both at Huron University College at the University of Western Ontario.
Rock the Spot 4 took place on March 24, 2007.
