Just Jam 2012 Newcastle Dance City
Bad Taste Cru has announced the line up for Just Jam International 2012, their international hip hop festival at Dance City in Newcastle, and has produced one of the freshest video promos ever - bar none!
If ever there was a way to celebrate a five year anniversary it would look like this...
Just Jam International - Wild Style Promo "Jam By Law" by Strife.tv
The Just Jam International festival is made of two nights: The Jam and Juice theatre night on Saturday 27 October and the battle night on Sunday 28.
While battles are arguably always the main pull of any event selling itself as a 'jam,' the Jam and Juice night cannot be overlooked with the talent performing on the night, scouted for by Bad Taste Cru and their commitment to furthering hip hop dance theatre, including: BirdGang, Babson (of Wanted Posse and Serial Stepperz), Eugene Quiet, Trash Dollys, DJ Rasp and Bad Taste Cru plus additional acts to be confirmed will all perform on the night. Maybe the performance from the Cru themselves will reflect what they learned when Open Art Surgery came to Dance City in July? We'll have to find out.
The battle night line up on Sunday has also been announced and will see eight invited UK b-boys and eight invited international b-boys battle through preliminary rounds against local entrants for a place in the finals later that day.
