With ‘No boundaries, No limits’ as our theme for this year audition, we were taken aback by the response of this years’ participants. With 32 teams, it was indeed a global affair as not only Malaysians took part, but also participants who hailed from Japan, New Zealand and Germany.
Last year’s champion, ECX made a comeback by collaborating with Dennis Yin, who was one fifth of 2007’s champion, Racken Force and formed Elecoldxhot. Audiences were astounded right when this ‘double-champion’ group took centre stage. Also branching out from Racken Force, Becky and Shake teamed up with 3 new members and formed a new team, Street WreckerZ.
Local dance extraordinaire, Alam, together with 5 Malay boys came as Wakaka Fever in hopes to compete for top spot in the competition. Judges were also delighted with the participation of Haru Haru, a female dance duo. With their participation, they became Battleground’s first ever female duo group. We had a refreshing experience as well with the participation of La Bella Trio, a group formed by Pan Asian girls.
For this year’s audition, we have Marcus Tucker, Bobby Tan and also renowned local choreographers cum dancers Zero Havoc and Boojae. People from all over flocked to watch the participants display their best dance moves. On top of that, there were parents and teachers of participants whom attended to give support as well.
Contestants this year came well prepared as we saw a breakthrough in music creativity. What's more is that, we could see that the participants managed to capture the attention of the audience through their creative outfits as much effort was being put in their appearances.
Which 16 teams would advance to the next round? What are the opinions from the panel of judges? To find out, remember to tune in to Battleground on Astro Wah Lai Toi (Channel 311) on the 24th of October at 7 p.m.

来参赛的舞队皆来头不小，从新晋舞者、历届参赛者、专业舞蹈员到由不同宗族组成的舞队，个个人强马壮、气势如虹。去年的冠军队伍ECX不仅在众人瞩目下再度出击，还找来了07年冠军队伍Racken Force的成员之一Dennis加入新舞队Elecoldxhot，这支“双冠军舞队”一出场果然引起哗然，真不是盖的！Racken Force的Becky和Shake也不遑多让，与三名新队友组成“华巫舞队”Street Wreckerz，同样旗鼓相当。
另一边厢，本地舞坛的佼佼者Alam也带领其五位巫裔朋友组成Wakaka Fever，务求在比赛中分一杯羹；以双人姿态虏获评审芳心的Haru Haru，是《舞极限》史上首个双女生组合；而三个由欧亚混血女生组成的La Belle Trio，也为比赛注入了一股新鲜的活力。
