Wow, did I ever enjoy the Battle of the Year!!! As most of you will already know, TOP 9 from Russia not only won the UK B-Boy Champs this year, but also the BOTY! That's a first! Well done boys!
The best part for me of course was the We B*Girlz battle at the preparty! It was so intense!! All the crews were really good this year! Like last year, Japan and France got to the finals, and again, France made it.

 | REVIEW / We B*Girlz - Festival
Dear friends! It's been a while! The We B*Girlz Festival is over and I needed a some time to recover!
Now tonight I'll try my brand-new mail-out program. Please let me know if it works or if you get it twice or more times.
It was FANTASTIC!!! 4 weeks of workshops, a film festival, exhibitions, panels, the best concert I've ever been to, with an amazing line up, graffiti battles, and a dance festival that was da bomb!
New contacts were made, old friendships renewed, girls learned from each other, inspired each other and showed the world what women in Hip Hop have to offer
Thanks to everyone who supported us with organizing it! Thanks to all the artists and the participants and thanks to all of you that came to Berlin to celebrate women in Hip Hop with us! Would be great if you would leave a note on the blog on our website, where you can also check out photos and find out who won the dance battles.
We have plans with the website. We are going to post events and we want to upload content interesting for women in Hip Hop. We'll start with uploading the We B*Girlz magazine that we produced for the festival and within the next months will continue uploading fotos and video clips. There is also going to be a DVD and a book! So, stay tuned!
