  1. LAST FOR ONE “The latest example of how a style many might consider an ’80s leftover, as forgettable as leg warmers, is being transformed into an international art form.”

  2. INTRO Last For One is an internationally renowned dance performance team based in Seoul, Korea. Performing primarily in the medium of what’s broadly known as “street dance” (which encompasses different styles such as b-boying, popping and locking), they are one of the most respected ensembles of their kind in the world. They won 1st place at the 2005 Battle of the Year in Braunschweig, Germany, the largest hip-hop dance event in the world, and took 2nd place at the 2006 Battle of the Year. Starting with the dance musical “Spin Odyssey” at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2007, which was described by the New York Times as an “international art form,” Last For One has performed at various prestigious events and for international VIPs. Such events include the celebratory performance at the inauguration ceremony for the 17th president of South Korea in 2008, and the welcome event for U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2009. Since 2009, Last For One has been touring the world with the B-boying gala show “One Dream” and with “Soul Beat” that combines percussion music with B-boying. To date, the performances have been staged in over 30 countries in the Americas, Africa, Asia and Europe. For three months starting in December 2011, Last For One put on the hologram-live show crossover <Sino Show> at the world’s first 4D media art theme park “Noi Live.” In addition, Last For One is currently working on a long-term performance in connection with the hologram media facade, which will be launched during the second half of 2012.

  3. THEATRE With full-length theatrical productions like “One Dream” and “Spin Odyssey,” as well as other performances of various lengths and styles, Last For One has brought b-boying from the streets to the world stage and helped elevate it into a genuine performing art.
