de koma!Back in action 3
International breakdance battle
“Back in action” is the most prestigious b-boy battle in Romania and it is at 3th edition. On april 18th Bucharest will see the most respected bboys (breakdancers) from Romania and East Europe.
B-Boying, or breaking, developed on the streets of New York City in the late 1970s and early 1980s. In breaking the kids found a means of artistic expression they could participate in for free. They used dance battles to pit their strength against each other, avoiding fists and knifes. Today, B-Boying has evolved into an art form, with major competitions worldwide.

Menno Van Gorp aka MENNO DE MEEUW (Menno the seagull), is one of the B-Boys to look out for this year. He represents the new generation of Dutch B-Boys and is the winner of last year’s UK B-Boy Championships and the Circle King Finales in Lausanne. He is a dancer with heart and explosive energy and promises to surprise. He is a master of smooth blow-ups. Blow-ups are the mind-boggling moves that whip the audience into a frenzy. Most dancers go directly into these moves, but Menno smoothly integrates them into his flow and makes them look amazingly easy. His signature moves are baby-freeze transitions, slides and rolls.
Crew: Def Dogz, Hustle Kidz and the Mighty Zulu Kingz
