Some more info on Dirty 30s has been posted on forums (http://www.ukbboy.info/forum/showthread.php?t=13346)

Please note battlin’ is an option - you can just showcase (or if u know people who wanna come down - not battle n just give us 30 seconds on stage to show they r still going then thats all good).

Your hosts

Fresh Jive has been running since 1997 and is recognised as The UKs biggest regular B-boy jam,  regularly attracting over 500 people per gig it could possibly be the biggest monthly dedicated bboy jam in the world.  Please let us know if u know of a bigger one –they don’t wanna make false claims.

Why Dirty 30s?

These guys n girls have already proved themselves - they are coming back together to strengthen foundations from the bottom to the top from the old to the new.

To see the world Bboy movement from its early days.

To encourage dancers to keep going into their 30s, 40s n beyond

To re-establish names and history

To have a good time and party – fresh jive and dirty 30s is all about the party

We also felt that many younger b-boys needed to see the real deal – people who Bboying is not a fad or something to do for a few years the give up.
