Editorial Review

Breakdancing didn't become a cash cow like rap music did, but this element of hip-hop did enjoy a whirlwind romance with popular culture before it was deemed pass in the mid-'80s. A new generation picked it back up in the early '90s, and today b-boying is a flourishing worldwide phenomenon. As part of the Hip-Hop Theater Festival, arts organization Words Beats & Life presents a family-friendly b-boy/b-girl battle that in the past has drawn hundreds of spectators and this year sports a $1,000 grand prize. The dancers go at it at 8 p.m. this Friday at St. Stephen's Church or you can come early for a 6 p.m. showing of the 1984 classic hip-hop film "Beat Street. Registration for the battle begins at 3 p.m.
