Hip Hop Games

On Stratford Waterfront in August, eight dancers will face off against each other in a game with a difference. The Hip Hop Games, originally conceived in France in 2011, uses a variety of creative challenges to create a hip hop dance improvisation game that, so far, has brought together dancers from all around the world. The London edition will include a popping crew and a krump crew, who will both entertain and educate spectators in the art of their chosen dance styles. BBC 1Xtra will proceed the soundtrack for the family-friendly event, while the audience will get their say on who goes home victorious.
