The Last Call – Ever Been Called At The Wrong Moment

24 July 2009 No Comment

Have you ever been called at the wrong moment? In a meeting, Interview, out on intimate date, taking a leak, yeah, thought so, well think about the guy who received a phone call when he was on the cusp of winning €10,000 and a night out with Swedish pop star September.

Gareth Beavis from Great Britain was battling it out to be last person dancing at The Last Call event, a 24 hour dance off competition in London when he received a call to eliminate him from the dance off head to head finale with Greg Zwygart from Switzerland. After surviving and dancing for nearly 24 hours, one little phone call was all the difference between winning and losing.

100 contestants from across Europe had entered the competition to battle it out with their Samsung BEAT Edition DJ music phone, a continuous playlist and a set of headphones to become the last person dancing. Contestants were eliminated from the competition through receiving phone calls or text to their number throughout the duration of the competition.

Highlights from the event, which was streamed live for free can be seen at www.thelastcall.tv. For a rundown of the event and reactions from Gareth, other contestants and the winner, including some sublime break dancing moves and his date with September visit The Last Call You Tube video.
