The North East’s world-class breaking platform returns for an epic battle
On Saturday 25th February Dance City will be hosting the 12th annual Just Jam International breaking event, creating a world-class breaking platform for international and national dancers to come to the North East to battle and perform. Just Jam International has been creating world-class hip-hop dance platforms since 2008, built on an ethos inspired and driven by the core values of hip-hop culture: peace, love, unity and having fun. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about breaking culture, enjoy the amazing atmosphere, cheer for your favourite crews and be a part of this truly exciting event. A family friendly experience, Just Jam International is a great day out for everyone.
Here’s how it works: breaking crews from the UK and Europe will compete in the Cypher Qualifiers, where judges will pick their top 32 crews to progress to the 2 v 2 Battle Finals. This is a space to explore the future of hip-hop culture in the North East and beyond, as young people come together to create a community dedicated to paving the way in the modern era of breaking culture. And so, like-minded individuals with a passion for breaking and hip-hop get to collaborate with local, national and international partners in this exciting vision. The event promises high quality production alongside warm and welcoming vibes, so if you’re new to the breaking world, you’ll soon get caught up in the excitement of the battles. Bring it on!
