BDC World Belly Dance Champion 2014
August, 2014.Jiali Hotel, Pudong Shanghai
From August 12 to 17, the world’s largest belly dance organization, Belly Dance China (BDC) held the BDC World Belly Dance Competition & the Belly Dance Festival, one of the most influential belly dance event. Sixteen belly masters with international fame in Shanghai were invited. Hundreds of contestants from more than 60 countries gathered in the Jiali Hotel and showed their dances to the audience. Champion of the competition would not doubt be a world famous belly dancer, but also be awarded by 12,000 USD as reward.
As a highly thought of event in the belly dance realm, the competition site was elaborately designed with an investment of USD 1.5 million, no worse than that of the Oscar Night. As for the role played by SOES, we were honored to be the lighting, sound and video equipment and services provider for the gorgeous competition during the week.
The competition and festival schedule contains five sections, in seven different areas in the hotel. There were one main competition area, three branch competition area, one exhibition area, one performance area and one outdoor dinner gala area. Given the facts above, challenges came that we had to do the establishment separately and had it fit into different areas; and our technicians had to follow the very tight schedule all round down. It was an on-site test of our management, and fortunately, thanks to the supports from our partners and clients, everything went well in accordance to the schedule.
One thing we were proud of was that the three Chandeliers, which could be independently controlled, equipped in the middle of the stage, were controlled by the system developed by SOES technical team, after half a month’s efforts. The Chandelier worked together with our more than 400 lights to create an almost magic site for the contestants’ performance.
After the one-week event, we had a brief meeting with the BDC management team. In addition to summarize the event and negotiate long-term relationship, our management ability, attitude and technical skills gained praise. We will continue with our service attitude and keep improving ourselves.
