Imperial Dragons Dragons are mythical creatures that have origins in China. The Chinese character for dragon, long (J., ryu), can be seen in the ancient oracle bone inscription, jiaguwen, which was created in the Shang dynasty from the 17th to 11th century B.C., as well as in the gold lettering on bronze vessels that were cast during the following Zhou dynasty (1100-256 B.C.), indicating the early connection between the ancient Chinese and dragons. Huainanzi (The Nobles of Huainan), a compendium dated to the late second century B.C., introduces various types of dragons-feilong ("flying dragon"), yinglong ("small dragon"), jiaolong ("scaly dragon"), and xianlong ("primordial dragon")-from which birds, animals, fishes, and crustaceans evolved. In other words, the dragon was the origin of all animals, and its existence was thought of as a kind of creator god. Perhaps for this reason, dragons were described as having "nine similarities"-horns like a deer, head like a camel, eyes like a demon, neck like a snake, belly like clams, scales like fish, claws like a hawk, paws like a tiger, and ears like a cow. Truly a vision of creativity! Transforming robots on cartoons don't even come close in imagination. With these monstrous features, dragons reign over all other animals and became the most auspicious of beasts. However, these magnificent creatures that were originally supposed to roam the sky came to be bound by the emperor's power and locked away within his imperial robe. From then on, the dragon became the symbol of the imperial ruler of China This robe, which the emperor wore during the most important ceremonies, had twelve motifs that symbolized the twelve virtuous qualities of a noble. Among these motifs, the ever-transforming dragon represented the ability of a nobleman to rule flexibly according to the era. The twelve virtues were said to been established in ancient times by the legendary sage king Shun, again showing that dragon designs were created quite early, though at this point, they did not yet symbolize power and authority. It was during the Tang dynasty (618-907) that dragons came to adorn the emperor's robe as the symbol of power. In 693, a high official was presented with a dragon robe. To receive such a symbol of power from the emperor was quite an honor. Later, there were those who wore robes with dragon designs as they pleased. In 1297, small dragon designs on the front or back of one's clothes were permitted, however, large dragons that covered an entire outfit were forbidden. In 1315, a regulation stipulated that only the emperor could wear a two-horned, five-clawed dragon motif. It was then that the dragon became a symbol of power. The emperor's robes continued to be decorated with this two-horned, five-clawed dragon even into the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). Subsequently, in the mid-fifteenth century, the emperor's loyal subjects came to be bestowed robes with four-clawed dragons, which were called mang. The feiyu, like the mang, had four claws; it also had fin-like wings on its torso and a fish-like tail. The douniu also had four claws, or in some cases, three claws, and a horn that curved outward like a water buffalo. All three of these dragon-like beasts became motifs on robes that the emperor presented to his retainers. Dragons were ultimately exclusive to the emperor, and mang, feiyu, and douniu, which resembled dragons, were made to look different, in order to differentiate the status of the wearer. In 1458, a prohibition against the misuse of the mang, feiyu, and douniu motifs was issued, and thereafter, several bans were established. I suppose in every age, there are people who want to put themselves above others. Finally, during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), the emperor's retainers decorated their robes with a creature that looked exactly like a dragon, which they called mang. Perhaps the dragon, caught up in this power play, can no longer fly freely in the sky.

We will have live performances from Benzo himself and a insane Opening From one of my dance crews before the show kicks off.

We will be holding 2 different casting calls one for BMT and one in P.A. The first place winners will recieve $600 cash first
place prize. This amount is subject to change before event.The
date fo this intense dance battle is set for August 30th, 2008!We will be looking for the best of the best for this show as it will run each month and the defending champs will battle until they lose their title to a better crew. The dance battles will consist of
Krumpers-Hip/Hop-Freestylers-B-boys-Liquid Poppers-Poppers-Breakers-Ballroom and much more!We will have presale tickets-at the door tickets and a fee for each crew who wants to enter, of course. We are trying to finally give Beaumont,Tx what it has been hurting for now for many years, that is a reason to stay entertained rather than running off to Houston to enjoy yourself...I will have my own film crew at this event and we will have channels 4,6, & 12 there for sure. This is not something either of them want to miss out on as it has never been done no where in Texas before as far as I know.The battles will run like this, 1vs1 -3vs3 & 5vs5. We will also have different categories for people to battle inside of. Benzo, myself and some of my other BDC staff are having a business lunch here in Beaumont, Tx this Thursday to further discuss all of the ins and out of this event.As I said when we do casting calls we will be looking for the best of the best, I want this show to do so well that people here about it all over Texas and other places. I will be one of the main judges and audition leaders. We are judging on ORIGINALITY,PERFORMANCE,CREATIVITY,STYLE,PERSONALITY,
HOW WELL YOU INTERPRET DANCE!We will also be looking for anything such as stolen looks, or dance moves from already established groups etc. If you guys are out there, get the word out this is no joke as I stated many times who ever was foolish enough to doubt BDC and think we are all talk don't you feel dumb now.On a more personal note to the so-called dance crew named Signature, I can't tell you how glad I am to host such an event to expose you guys for the fakes that you trully are. Ty you guys better bring it and don't bother coming with any of that weak ass stuff you do each and every single time you all dance, cause it wont make it in my show!I told you before you should have teamed up with me not try to run your mouth and talk trash behind my back. I am the boss in this even and My word is law bro. You gotta a lot of angry people who wont to see your crew fail and fall so you guys better prepare and bring something worth watching. I do hope you understand that this show is taking place with or without the great Signature crew!There wont be any fix crowds here, no fake platinum awards here, no Judges that can't spot weak dance when they see it. You got the date now do something about it.Back on subject, The tickets will be $5 presale $10 at the door and $20 for each dancer or crew who wants to enter this Dance Wars. As I said the cash prise is subject to change meaning go up a bit more as we progress toward the date. Inside the casting calls I will be also recruting future dancers for BMTDANCE CREWS.We will rent a place for casting calls but I will update this blog or post a new one this Thursday or before. This is the time for People to know that Beaumont and Port Author do exist. Be surprised to know about the hundred thousands that don't even know where we are located. That will change in a few months trust me.I have all ready started getting my first crew together and I am waiting on many more to contact me for tryouts.I will have one crew open the show and another to battle inside the show.
I will talk to my staff and request that we offer a bonus to which ever crew opens the show up. If you guys have not contacted me yet for training and BDC auditions you seriously need to stop wasting time.As for the so-call dancers who have contacted me, sent me friend requests, etc and not called me or showed any effort to take me seriously I will soon delete you as I don't have time to play with anyone about something so serious as dancing for BDC and becoming famous etc.I already have a music artist waiting for me to get dance crews together for photo shoots,music videos etc. I also have film crews wanting to shoot dance videos with the crews I put together, I can't stress enough, fuck what you heard, this is no game. I don't have people in my top for no damn reason.
