Stop, Drop and Roll - B-Boys In Hollywood

Breakdancers from the great continent of North America filled the Henry Fonda Theater on Saturday to battle each other at the Red Bull BC One Qualifier in Hollywood. As a white girl from suburban Philadelphia I think it's best if I let the photos and video handle most of the narrative as I would not like to embarrass myself by mixing up my coin drops with my turtle moves. That said, Spee-D of the Unique Styles Crew and Break Disciples won top prize and is headed to the finals in South Africa this September.
