Castle Rocks Breakdance Championships In Association With Strathmore
Moving In Circles
As legs spun like helicopter blades and bodies contorted, sprung and flipped endlessly to a tailor-made soundtrack and adoring crowd of fellow B-boys and B-girls, I realised I was probably the least cool person in this entire venue. The overwhelming energy here, the passion and aggression of the teams of two facing off against each other in knock-out rounds, was completely engaging. I remained fixated for the whole of the four hours. Acts originated from everywhere between Aberdeen and South Korea and it was great to watch little plots and subplots unfold between them as the competition progressed. Anyone who has ever fleetingly wished they could spin on their head will find this mighty good fun.
