5 things you love about breakdancing.
The physicality – B-Boys and Girls push their bodies to the extreme, with nothing more than their own physical ability, blood, sweat and tears; the controversy – breaking has no governing body so judges rely on their own experience. Decisions often lead to controversy, and spontaneous grudge battles can happen when you least expect it; the music – from soul, funk, Latin, disco and hip hop, there’s such a rich tradition of great music that b-boying has helped to popularise and preserve; the blow-ups – a quick, explosive move that appears to come from nowhere - it might be a flip, trick or freeze; the community – fierce rivalries have always existed in breaking, but behind the bravado there is a very tight-knit community who enjoy training, sharing and partying together.

4 reasons people should come and see Castle Rocks and Set It Off.
The atmosphere at Castle Rocks is one of the best at the Fringe; Set It Off is a brand new streetdance choreography competition with lots of short, high-energy, exciting routines; the workshops at Dance Base where you can learn from our international guests; the shows are action packed – you’ll hear great music, witness jaw-dropping moves and get caught up in the dancefloor drama!

3 other dance shows you’ll be checking out at the Fringe.
