Remembering The Legend


Micheal Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

As the seventh child of the Jackson family, he made his debut as a member of The Jackson 5. He began his solo career in 1971 and was referred to as the "King of Pop". Michael's 1982 album Thriller remains the world's best-selling album of all time, and four of his other solo studio albums are among the world's best-selling records: Off the Wall, Bad, Dangerous, and HIStory.



Michael’s dance skills were perfect. With stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk, and the anti-gravity lean. His choreography was a perfect blending of popping, locking, animation, and hip hop inspired all the dancers in the world, and together with his talents, his influence on modern-day celebrities and dancers like Chris Brown, Rain, and many others is unquestionable.


The King of Pop left us on the 25th of June, 2009. He died of cardiac arrest, at his home in Los Angeles, California, reportedly one hour after receiving an injection of pethidine.


Michael Jackson's mind-blowing dances and signature moves that will always remain in our hearts :





Rest in peace Michael Jackson. You will always remain as an unsurpassed legend and king to us all.

SMASH Studio in Floor Combat 2009

SMASH Studio was invited to conduct dance workshops at Cineleisure recently in conjuction with the Floor Combat 2009 event. Chris Ooi of Elecoldxhot was the special guest invited to conduct popping workshops on the 11th of June.


The dance stage equipped with loud speakers to attract the public. It was raining heavily and the sound of the music was affected, but it certainly didn't stop people from coming and surrounding the dance floor.

The dance space.

High profile and distinguished judges, emcees and DJ's from USA were invited to the event

Cool hunks whom are interested gathering at the dance floor set up at the entrance. Many people gathered around the dance floor to observe the workshop.

Chris Ooi addressing the potential youths with his humble and humourous personality before conducting the workshop. They were taught the basics of popping including basic hitting, waving, and were taught a set of routine. The little at the side looks amazed by the dance style.

The public certainly enjoyed the workshop : )

Good job Chris.

The 1st SMASH Studio Dance Exam


In conjunction with our main goal to improvise our fellow dancers to perfection, SMASH will be conducting our first ever Dance Exam.

Successful completion of these graded examinations in any dance style provides a way of assessing progress from year to year and of maintaining commercial industry recognized standards, as well as develop self-discipline, commitment and provide a strong sense of accomplishment and success.

The examination will be assessed by a panel of examiners and judges appointed by SMASH. Students are required to perform solo or group dances learnt from the dance repertoire of a choreographer/instructor.


An example of the examination structure: All examinations will begin from Grade 1. Students in the popping class will be assessed with basic skills of hitting, waving, bopping and slow motion.



The rewards of the exam : ) Students who pass will be rewarded with a certificate and a hip hop cap.

Students, please refer to your instructors about your respective exams regarding the date and the fees.
