Gloving –
The latest twist on light shows, an old rave tradition, Gloving is a dynamic new dance art form that first emerged in 2006 at an electronic music event. Dazzling Gloving displays are now regularly performed at events across the country to the energized beat of electronic dance music, primarily by hands and fingers in gloves with LED lights on the fingertips. Back in the day, rave light shows typically featured a pair of frantically waved glow sticks. Gloving has come a long way since those early days, growing into a legitimate art form. In recent months, the underground phenomenon has received mainstream media attention as it was featured in performances on MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew as well as on the Disney Channel’s Shake it Up.  EmazingLights also recently collaborated with Dutch DJ duo Bingo Players and model-actress Melanie Iglesias on a Gloving video, “The Greatest Lightshow on Earth.” Top Gloving videos on YouTube receive millions of views.

Brian Lim, IGC, EmazingLights-iHeartRaves Founder –
The Gloving scene’s most important promoter, a pioneering glover himself, Brian Lim started EmazingLights three years ago by selling Gloving sets and LEDs out of the trunk of his car. He runs three EmazingLights-iHeartRaves retail stores in Southern California plus a new Milpitas store in Northern California. He’s also in charge of the EmazingLights and IHeartRaves commerce sites. Lim also organizes weekly, monthly and annual Gloving events including the International Gloving Championship (IGC). The next IGC is slated for September 7, 2013 at the historic Yost Theater in Santa Ana, CA. Lim graduated from UCLA in 2009 with a BA in Economics. He previously worked as a business technology consultant at Deloitte Consulting for two years, starting EmazingLights while working there. Lim was born in Los Angeles and currently lives in West Covina, CA.
