Every year hundreds of bboys and bgirls from all over the world descend on Austin, Texas to compete in one of the biggest bboy jams in the country, Bboy City. 2009 was no different and on Sunday, April 26th I headed down to the Parish to capture it all.

If you’ve never been to a bboy jam, you’ve been missing out. At the Bboy City 16 finals, the energy was intense, the dancers’ moves were on point, and the competition was fierce as hundreds of people crowded into the Parish to watch some heated bboy battles.

The level of skill this year was really high, as two great international crews entered the crew battles – Rhythm Attack from China, and Gravedad Zero from Mexico. There were also the usual suspects from Texas and some out of state crews as well. In the end, after a long, hot, energy filled night of dancing, world famous crew Havikoro came out on top.
