Why is it worth to go
for an OUTBREAK FESTIVAL ??
First of all, I would like to
say, that I really regret I can’t go to Slovakia this year (again), but I can
say with out any doubts I would have a great time out there (again) because…
Outbreak takes care about the full range of our culture. It has that spark of …
hip-hop vibe!
I had a chance to visit Outbrek in 2011 for the
first time. It was something new and fresh for me. I entered the jam with Mefo
(2vs2) damn… we could have done it better ;p (haha). Anyways, what I felt there
was a great energy, that I could really feel and see among the people.
Everybody seemed like it was the only event in the year. Many different guests
came to visit a small town in Slovakia.
The event was originated in the US, by the BBoy Spot and later on brought to Europe. I guess it became one of the biggest and the dopest contests in the old land. Why? For me it’s simpe…
Line up! Organizers of the event try to
bring new guest every year what makes the meeting fresh. People who are
attending the festival are experienced dancers from all around the world. They
have knowledge, skillz and you can try to battle them in the cyphers because
they are not there to stand but dance! It would take a long time to list all the
names of guests… but I think Moy, Alien Ness, Plash, Jeskillz, Renegade Lean
Rock… That’s enough….
Catch the Flava! Five days of workshops with
incredible personalities. It’s not only the time, when you polish your style,
character, stamina and skillz, but also time to overcome your week sides, train
hard, get knowledge and meet people. It’s time to ask questions… It’s time to enjoy
the time!
Contests! Three days of the event give a lot
of various competitions that may fit anybody, either you are alone, with the
crew or just want o watch and enjoy the battles.
Parties! Some people treat hip-hop very
serious, but in case you forgot… Hip-hop is based on common party. Party brings
joy, good times and vibe. People are dancing, mingling, having fun, doing crazy (sometimes too crazy)
stuff. It builds our community. Without that whole hip-hop culture is worthless
(but please remember about moderation – do not overdose anything;) )
Vibe! If you really wait for something to
happen you get that kind of feeling that runs to your body all the time… that
you just can’t wait anymore. You want to be there and have a great time (maybe
even one of the best times in your life, because it may never repeat again).
That’s great feeling, energy that is bringing good vibe for all people around!
You step into a jam and you just feel it. Got it? Rock it!
There are many different reasons why dancers
form all around the world come to Outbreak. It may be dancing in cyphers,
watching great bboys and bgirls, taking part in workshops, spending holidays,
defending the Outbreak Titles, money or proving who is the best in Europe (even
the World maybe), or maybe just curiosity, meeting people and having a good
time. Everybody has their own purposes to go for Outbreak. Why are you going?
No matter what happens… if there are some
things not perfect, some things are not like you expected or you may not be
that happy like you wanted to be after the jam – RESPECT THE EVENT! Maybe you
did something wrong?
It takes a lot of effort, love and work to
organize huge event like this! Outbreak carries our legacy! Be there to meet
people, talk, dance, make progress and cultivate the hip-hop culture! Be there
or be square (I’m square ;/ sorry… ) Much respect to the Bboy Sopt and Biggest
& Baddest for doing it big!
And you? Are you ready to go? Get a crew, a
backpack, tickets and hit the road!
P.S
I am wondering how polish scene will represent
this year! Fingers crossed brothers and sisters!
