On July 23rd 2011, BreakSession made Kenyan Hip hop history, and overall Kenyan Dance History as it was Kenya’s First Ever Pure and Exclusive B-boy Battle.

Founded in 2005 by Joe Nene a.k.a Bboy Kay/ BreakDJ Kay, the aim was to spark the B-boy Revolution in Kenya. Now in its second year, The BreakSession Dance phenomenon has, yet again, broken new ground by being the first Ever Dance event conducted countrywide on the ground. The BreakSession Team, led by Founder B-boy Kay and his crew The B.B.O.Y SQUAD Dance Crew managed to host Dance Workshops in 5(Five) Different counties, across Kenya i.e Nairobi(twice), Mombasa, Nakuru, Eldoret & Kisumu.

This means that for the First Time, BreakSession will have a Countrywide Battle for Dance supremacy with representatives from all over Kenya. The bulk of Dancers will undoubtedly be from Nairobi accompanied by,

1.     B-boy Castro from Mombasa,
2.     Popping Zak from Kisumu, and
3.     B-boy Reiny from Nakuru.

These dancers were chosen out of the mini battles held during the Workshop sessions in their respective cities and will get to be the first to represent their Hoods/counties at BreakSession for the first time.

Nairobi will also have a strong cast of representatives, headed by

B-boy Vid of the StreetPokaz Crew who has proved a strong contender for this year’s championships after emerging Top at the qualifiers for the 1 vs 1 B-boy, 2 vs 2 B-boy and Seven To Smoke B-boy Battle categories.

The popping category is also hot with

Breaksession 1 winner, B-boy Stone of Sisko crew will be back to take a shot at regaining his championship at Breaksession as well as 2011 Semi finalist B-boy Shadow of Street Pokaz crew.
