The 2017 World of Dance Finals will be held in Pasadena on July 22, 2017, and we can’t wait. This annual event features the winners of World of Dance competitions around the world—the best of the best—facing off to win the title, plus performances by industry starts, vendors, DJs, artists, and a lot more. In anticipation of this must-see event, we’re getting to know the many competitors from around the world.
Today, we’re meeting Su Wa Li Zilla, Youth Division Winners of World of Dance South Korea 2017. We caught up with the crew to find out how they met, what it was like to compete in WOD, what they’re looking forward to, and more.
Crew name: Su Wa Li Zilla
Title: Youth Division Winners of World of Dance South Korea 2017
From: South Korea
WOD: Can you give us a little background about the crew?
SWLZ: We Are Su Wa Li Zilla, a dance studio near Art Story in Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do, Korea. We are a group of young people who dreamed of being dancers, so we gathered and started to perform. We started the activity by creating the 2016 team. We won the 2016 World Of Dance South Korea title and started to work in earnest. After winning the Best Costume at the 2016 La Wod, we won many national competitions.
WOD: What do you think made your performance stand out enough to win?
SWLZ: Storytelling and performance. Besides dancing ability, our theme, props, costumes, and concept helped. We were inspired by the performance of Chinese movies. We wanted to impress the public and judges by showing a variety of interesting and colorful performances, inspired by Chineses Zombie, Bruce Lee and Journey to the West. We made a performance for fun.
WOD: What’s your crew’s dance philosophy?
SWLZ: Our goal is to be the winner.
WOD: What are you most excited about for the WOD Finals in Pasadena?
SWLZ: We want to see and learn about the various performances of dance teams from around the world.
