Bboy City is an annual breakdance event held in Austin, Texas hosted by Romeo Navarro and the Bboy City Crew. If you haven’t it yet, click here to view my first post about Bboy City 16.

Some interesting info on Bboy City:
If you are familiar with show America’s Best Dance Crew, several of the best bboys on that show have been in Austin at some point for bboy city either to compete or judge the events (including members of the winning crew from Season Two – Super Cr3w).

Also, there’s a great documentary film called Inside the Circle directed by Marcy Garriott that follows the lives of Romeo and two of the most popular dancers at Bboy City, Omar and Josh, through many of the Bboy City events (I also make random cameos in the background taking photos). This film premiered at the SXSW film festival in 2008 to rave reviews and recently aired on MTV. It’s available on DVD as well. Bboy City 16 Austin, Texas at The Parish part 2
