Irish Breaking Battle & Cypher Jam

Join us for a day dedicated to all things HipHop, featuring musicians, dancers & artists from across the country, all hosted in 5th Element HQ on Park Rd. Check it out:


OLYMPIC IRISH BREAKING BATTLE & CYPHER JAM
12-6pm

With Breaking now officially in the 2024 Olympics in Paris, this year @northernsolescrew_belfast are collaborating with @breakingireland @dancesportfederationofireland to bring an official Irish Olympic Ranking Battle to Rock The Masonic. Expect top Irish Bboys and Bgirls battling in a 1v1 format, as they compete to represent in the Irish breaking squad on their road to the Olympics.

We have also invited the hugely talented @belfastgroovecollective & @blackjackfranco and @damo.mcc to come and lay down some heavy beats during the day, with live and improvised raps provided by @dazbelfast @stevloc and @dohfada, as these three killer MCs keep everyone hyped throughout.
-----------------
Note to non-competing Bboys/those not registered, do not worry. We have a few surprises, as well as all day cypher spots, a live funk band, and DJs to keep everyone grooving all day.

RATTLE & FLOW GRAFF JAM
