As the city gears up to host the national finals of a hip-hop dance competition, it's time to ask whether music has overshadowed dance when it comes to this emerging sub-culture

Auditions being held for Shuffle
One Man Army House is a nondescript building that is located at the far end of a bylane close to Fun Republic in Andheri West. That's where we headed three Sundays ago to check out the Mumbai auditions of Shuffle, a national platform that gives hip-hop dancers a chance to showcase their moves. It was a snap locating the venue once we entered the bylane.
A group of youngsters with turned-around caps and baggy clothes were milling about outside the main gate. Another bunch was lost in serious concentration in a balcony visible from the road, practising their steps before their names were called out. "This is it," we told ourselves after noticing these telltale signs. And so we registered as an audience member and shoved open a large wooden door to enter the performance area.
