Smash Bro’z Proposal
To whom this may concern.
My name is Kashmir Leese – Artistic Director of The Smash Bro’z Hip Hop Collective. The Smash Bro’z are a hip hop dance group, based in Birmingham, West Midlands.
The purpose for this propasal is that we wish to ask your institution; if possible, for sponsorship and/or funding in order for our group to fufil our goals. The following proposal and introduction to our group should justify our cause.
We are currently seven members strong and are ranked 1st in the Midlands region, after having won in the “Battle Of The Shires” on Sunday 22nd February 2009 and then went onto qualify for the UK Hip Hop championships; in which, we received: 2nd place in the preliminary rounds, 2nd place in the freestyle solo’s and went onto receive 3rd place in the Adults Division final, in The Colosseum, Watford on Sunday 1st March 2009 – meaning, that we are the first group from Birmingham ever to make the finals in Watford and also, the first group from Birmingham to qualify for the World Hip Hop Championships in Las Vegas, Nevada 29th July 2009.
As one of the three co-founders to form this group, we have only been officially established in January 2009. Each of us, coming from different backgrounds, both creatively and culturally have other creative outlets, other than dance which helps to define our uniqueness and individuality. Take myself, for example, I am a vivid actor/dancer who has starred in many performances, including the “Chasing Fate” musical, (in which I co-choreographed) which sold out at the Birmingham Hippodrome. Aundre Brown, who is also co-founder, is a talented poet/spoken word artist, who has performed some of latest work at various venues, most recently The Yardbird, a popular Jazz club, networked in Birmingham. As well as this, Aundre Brown is also a skilled Fine Artist. The third co-founder, Jahmai Jones is a technical graffiti artist who is also, learning the art of DJ’ing and has high hopes of uplifting the hip-hop movement in Birmingham, positively.
Collectively, The Smash Bro’z, has a wide knowledge in different dance styles, such as: Bboying (Break Dance), Popping, Locking, House, Krumping, Nu-Style Hip Hop, Ballet, Contemporary, Physical Theatre, Hip Hop Theatre and Tap, all of which are self-taught. Our dance experience, ranges from 3-6 years; however, our skill levels/dance ability surpass this.
To conclude this proposal, I would firstly like to say thank you for taking the time to read our proposal. If you were to accept our proposal, we could offer a range of benefits to your institution/establishment, such as: Bringing prestige – further reinforcing your positive image, Advertising, Promotional performances – where we could represent your company, by wearing your company’s logo/product, in order to bring more publicity to your company.
