Last week we went to a break-dance and hip hop tournament that happens every January. The show was somewhere around seven hours but we were there for about two.
This style of dance is used as a community building tool. They teach classes and hold workshops throughout the week for people of all ages.
Forgive the photography. I'm still learning to take action shots.
He reminds me of a cat pouncing on it's prey...in a silly way.
The guys we saw compete were extremely talented, agile, and STRONG.
In between the dancing there were hip hop artists. Some sang in Luganda, but I had to take the MC at his word when he said the lyrics were "very deep."
During the dance offs, the competitors would just watch each other perform from the other end of the stage.
Look at me! Look at me!
Two young Finnish girls choreographed and performed a hip hop dance. I thought it was particularly cool that they had become so involved with this community of people since coming to Uganda.
These guys were more amateur hip hop dancers, but still quite good. They seemed to have a fondness for doing robot and vogue-like dance motions. It got a little tiring after a while.
