Scores of talented dance group came out to participate in the just concluded MTN battle of the year break dance competition but only one group emerged victorious. Among those who participated in the contest which came to an end on Sunday was the 619 Crew, which emerged as the overall champions.
At the Indoor Sports Hall of the University of Lagos, the mesmerising skills, precision and team work exhibited by all the contesting crews were a delight to the audience, who watched the performances.
The guest performances by popular artistes and MTN ambassador, Banky W, Mode 9, IllBliss among others were the highlights of the event.
Four crews had made it to the finals of the B-Boy category but only the “619 Crew” and “Squad One Machinery” did enough to make it through. With amazing body-twisting, fleet-footed flips and acrobatic displays, notable crew members like Nzemeke Franklyn, Obiora Francis and Nwachukwu Jeremiah were too brilliant for the opposing Squad One Machinery.
It was a clear victory for the Lagos-based crew and they will be in Braunschweig, Germany, in October, to represent Nigeria at the International Battle of the Year competition.
Speaking with a member of the winning crew, Obiora Francis, he said, amid tears of joy, “This is, really, really, the best moment of my time”. He continued, “I have always dreamt of taking my dance skills to the international stage, it’s just amazing that it’s happening now”.
