Raw Edge: Injustice. But you can help.

January 24th, 2010 | By Omar

Hey Friends

This email was sent to me from Tara, Head of the Irish Hip Hop Dance Championships and Hip Hop International Ireland. I am reprint­ing it here, exactly as she sent it to me.

I just wanted to ask for your help with some­thing please. You might have already heard that Raw Edge have made the live shows on Got to Dance. I know Omar that you’re par­tic­u­lary proud that alot of UK crews that sup­port your event have made the live shows and I feel the same about Raw Edge.
They have been a part of the Irish Hip Hop Crew Championships since it star­ted in 2006 and they have been partly respons­ible for the great rise in stand­ard of hip hop in this coun­try. They are a great crew who rep­res­ent the whole cul­ture really well and I’m delighted that they’re get­ting to rep Ireland on Got to Dance. Now, here’s the prob­lem. Although the show has pro­moted itself as find­ing the best dan­cers in the UK and Ireland and although they even held audi­tions here in Dublin, it has now come out that the Irish pub­lic can­not vote! This is heart­break­ing for Raw Edge and we all have our hands tied! I’m just hop­ing that maybe you could send an email to your mail­ing list. I’m sure they all have crews they would like to sup­port but if you could ask them to watch out for Raw Edge and if they like what they see, please vote remem­ber­ing that ALL of us in Ireland can­not sup­port them!

If you can think of any­thing we can do, please let us know. Their live show is 31^st January.
