B-girls
Breakdancing competitions are nothing new, but female body-poppers have always been notable by their absence. But that doesn’t mean girls can’t hold their own. A burgeoning underground scene has finally burst into the open this year with B Supreme, the UK’s first festival for women in hip hop. The Throwdown warm-up party in Brixton will showcase a one-on-one breakin’ battle, freestyle dance, and sets from the scene’s finest DJs.
Throwdown is at Plan B, 418 Brixton Rd, SW9 7AY (08701 165 421/www.plan-brixton.co.uk) Brixton tube/rail. 8pm-3am. Adm £5. B Supreme is on Sept 22-24 at the South Bank Centre (www.rfh.org.uk). Times vary. Tickets £15. Feature continuesAdvertisement- Add your comment to this feature

wagwan oi can i use this pic cause me teacher makin us do sumthin with body poppin safe yh
Why not go to the original painting gig at Westbourne Studios in Notting Hill.They do recycled canvases for £30 and it is a way cooler venue. www.fig108.com
£40 is steep and makes me think it might only attract city types, etc (who I'm not necessarily interested in meeting). The materials can't cost much more than a fiver so I'd be expecting a lobster dinner for my money.
I agree with Marcus - I'd love a go at this but it's far too expensive... I would maybe fork out 25 quid.
good idea but so exspensive. can we people not organise something this simple with a smaller price? paintjam at your house!
