Break dancers from across Cape Town gathered at Ratanga Junction on Saturday to battle it out for the South Africa Hip Hop Cup.

However it was Cape Town’s top four hip hop break dancers that walked away with the title.

The wining B-Boys Charl, Mr Miagi, Sam and Brandon will represent South Africa in Paris at the World B-Boy Cup, along with last years winners, B-Boy brothers Dunane and Jed Lawrence .

The team will consist of a six person team and will be required to complete a seven minute set, two at a time.

Lawrence says “they held the event to recruit new group members, but to also give people from all backgrounds a chance to showcase their talent”.

He added that “hip hop is overgrown in South Africa but in some ways also still underground”.

The boys leave for Paris in June as the competition kicks of on the 30.
