Another year, another Slam Jam

It seems that the decision to work in partnership with the Millennium Centre at this year’s Slam Jam didn’t damage turnout. There was a healthy crowd throughout the day and they succeeded in getting extra vocal for the final battle between Elemental Force and Trinity Warriors.

Co-hosting the event was Cardiff veteran b-boy 4DEE who said, “It’s really good see. It’s an eye opening experience for a lot of people who don’t understand the culture I grew up in.”

In the day’s last battle The Warriors threw down some slick steps in front of a Cardiff crowd clearly routing for the home team. Elemental force stood up to those loft expectations however with a few well oiled routines of their own. One b-girl in particular even earned herself a shout out from one of the Warriors who jumped on the mic when the action stopped.

Rivalries throughout the day caused a few harsh words between B-Boys but in 4DEE’s estimation the event was still wicked. On the tensions he said that any rivalry should be left on the floor and that they were trying to promote a positive message.

Certainly the positive, along with DJ Jaffa’s breaks, filled the Millennium Centre yesterday, you only had to look at the faces of the next generation to see that.
