Break-yo-neck

Spin on your head and impress your mom, a breakdancer shows he can hold his dinner






Justin Young a.k.a. Baloo has been The Breakdancer clubs head organizer for the past year. The PE building is home to the Break Battle crews that headspin, windmill and dead man (where you throw yourself horizontally in the air flat on the ground) til closing.

"Breakdancing has been a major cultural iconic dance form since the 80's. It originated on the East Coast by entrepeneurs Mr. Freeze and Crazy Legs, still well known in the scene", said Young, a 4th year Marketing major.

Aside from a complete workout, the clubs organizes "battles" with other competring colleges, where a scene from Westside story ensues. Two groups commense in what looks like a reallive fight but break out in a dance like act and individuals show their talents while being applauded by their comrades. The club meets Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7-?

Beginners welcome but make sure you have medical insurance.
