Hottest name on B-boy scene fires up Hong Kong
It is Seoul not New York that today boasts the B-boys (aka breakdancers) taking the world by storm. In little more than a decade, the South Korean capital has developed into a hip-hop powerhouse, with super-sharp Jinjo Crew surging to the top. Along with numerous national and international awards, the group has broken fresh ground by becoming the first in B-boying’s 40-year history to triumph in five of the most prestigious championships of street dance.
Established in 2001 by brothers Skim and Wing, Jinjo Crew, or “Rising Fire”, quickly captivated the breakdance scene with stunning displays of agility, original Korean moves and breathtakingly intricate teamwork. In Hong Kong, nine dancers and a beatbox master will transpose award-winning battle routines into a scorching stage show that demonstrates perfectly why these performers are the premier B-boys. Combining ingenuity, humour and blistering skill, Jinjo Crew will entertain and astound in a searing paean to street dance.
