Global street culture takes centre stage

CAPE

- MURRAY SWART

Town owned the spotlight on Saturday night as the V&A Waterfront became the heartbeat of global street culture for the Fujifilm Instax Undisputed Breaking World Championship.Breakers from across the world converged on the Mother City for a night packed with high-pressure battles, heavy footwork and the unmistakable pulse of hip hop.

Project lead Tyrone van den Meer said bringing the event back to Cape Town was an easy call.

“After the success of our first event in Cape Town earlier this year, there was no doubt we would return to the Mother City,” he said. His words underscored the city’s growing reputation as a home for global breaking.
