The first elimination stage show of Jamaica's sole televised dancing competition, Red Label Wine Dancin' Dynamites, was a blast last Saturday at Hotel Versalles. The large turn-out witnessed explosive dance moves by the top 10 pairs selected.

Tension was high as dancers worked hard to advance. Unlimited Dancers were the first to take the stage with their creative 'human violin' choreography. From that point it was obvious that dancers had come to 'bring it'. Ed Hardy and Mad Squad also got the thumbs up of judges Orville Hall and the new female judge, Kerry-Ann Henry, amid crowd cries of 'Dem bad eehh!'

Energy

Yellow glowed as these contestants jumped and pranced all over the stage.

The energy was too much for Blaze-Azz, who danced hard enough to frighteningly somersault off the stage. This was unlike the lacklustre performance given by D-Squad.

Guest artistes Timberlee, Black-Er and 2008 winners Hypa Active Clique brought the house down with their performances.

The next elimination show will be at Addison in Brown's Town on Saturday, February 14, where dancers will be vying for more than $2 million in cash and prizes.

These contestants got very acrobatic. - Contributed photos
