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.
Boom Crew represented by B-boy Mifwit and B-boy
Aqua qualifying in the top two spots in the Krump Battle and 2nd and
3rd respectively in the Seven to Smoke category.
The popping category is also hot with
Habib of LOD crew followed byPopping
Moose and the new kid on the block, Maku, who shocked many
at the Nairobi qualifiers in November.
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.
Other worthy contenders will be B-boys Daves, Da
Beibboy, Ken (seven to smoke champion 2011), Scrappy (Breaksession 2 winner)
and the energetic B-boy Dee a.k.a Topgun.
The 2 on 2 category will also have strong
contention from B-boys Jijo & Head of LOD crew and Shammah who qualified
alongside B-boy Vid.

will be the three respected and recognized pioneers of B-boy in Kenya, B-boy
Jay, B-boy Nemesis and B-boy Kay, Founder and Director of The BreakSession
B-boy Battle Event, all three, original members of Kenya’s first ever Pure
