Have you heard of the ASBDC??

For matters of personal security, the names of it members cannot be released, (unless you already know them), however, this article may spark some deeper interest into the wider community, of the shroud that surrounds the operations of this shady organization. 

It’s hard to say what came over them when they decided to form the crew? but It was a mix between social pressure, whilst rising to the expectations of a wider asianmelb culture. Producing a crude concoction that turned into a group after a spontaneous agreement that 1970 retro dance movement was “cool? A naïve group of year 10’s and year 9’s practiced “break dancing?in a small room behind the dining hall. As training became more formal, two hifi sets instead of an one piece, were introduced for CD looping and playing 2 Run DMC songs at once?(Run DMC being the ritual basis of all practices and meetings.)  

However whilst the break dancing at a social gatherings still managed to gross 80% of the girls?attention it was found that just kart wheels, windmills and one-leg-spins were insufficient to impress the 99% of the 80% who still thought it looked really daggy. So in an effort to mover on, the group was sub divided?into the people who couldn’t dance for shit, attaining the title of “resident DJ? people who could do basic moves called “specials?and people wanting to try the aerial stuff?“professional Bboys?(these titles sparked off much controversy however and were dropped). Also with the introduction of many new “party anthems?like the spice girls and various mixes of the Macarena, inline dancing became a new hype, and so did save? dancing.

The climax of the “In line? dancing era came at the change to ‘do some moves?at the year 11 formal, where a four week rehearsal of Fat boy Slim’s Rockerfella Skank lead to a huge anti climax when the DJ at the formal didn’t have the CD?However this did not stop the Captain and Vice from getting into the act when the boarding house talent time came round. Clad in beanies and cargo pants, the couple made an appearance in between the country and western?acts of the majority farmer boarders in the school. This “talent time?was recorded on tape and later used to promote the ASBDC, It was even recycled as an english communication project and awarded an A+.

However, if you are beginning to think the ASBDC is a puny try-hard teeny bopper group of guys wanting to barn dance, you are very much wrong, because at the core of all this dancing, lay only one ulterior motive, to “woo women? So it a way it can be looked at as some form of a “Dead poet’s society? A bunch of boys who wanted more to life than simply being toyed round by year 9 MLC girls?but to become “chic magnets?

As the club became bigger, a set of unofficial rules were established?span style="mso-spacerun: yes">

Currently the organization consists of 8 members, with several candidates and renegade factions circulating the lower levels of school.  So far only 3 members have been “dumped? The original party, ska and funk taste in music, has adapted to a strictly "hardcore" techno. reoccurring words like "Gan" "Diu", "fuck", "rave" "clubbin'", "peng yao", "pek yao", "sao pei" and "kao luei", mixed in with a jumble of broken sentences are synonymous with the club's presence in any part of the school.

Looking back, it's hard to explain to you exactly what this crew is or the purpose is was created for, but it's presence is still very much at large, and whilst notorious, still not exactly something to be feared (unless you're a little year 7 at the tram stop). But it's out there.
