Our trip to Hip-Hop Festival rotterdam!
That's right Cubics were making noise in The Netherlands this weekend unfortunately we didn't get far into the competition but we helped represent the UK and by getting beat in the 2 on 2's competition it has made us hungry for more and we have already been back in the lab training hard for when we next need to rep our ends!
Here are some pictures to give you a feel of what went down:
The Hip-Hop festival started of with a couple of heads catching a plane to Rotterdam on Friday, we went to an exhibition where they had a bboy workshop, hip-hop film screening (called from mambo to hip-hop - check it out) a discussion with three top bboys and then on to a party with a few showcases, open circles and free beer!
The following day we headed down to the main event (World BBoy Classic- search on youtube) The idea being that 16 of the top BBoys from around the world were invited down and were randomly paired an hour before the battles and these 8 pairs would go up against 8 pairs that qualified as a duo at the prelims which happened moments before the main event.
Heads from all over the world competed in 2 separate circles in the prelims including myself and Smyvy. The winners of the prelims after getting through 4 or 5 rounds then went up against the great 8 in a knockout competition, none of the challengers got through the first round showing that the great 8 were truly great! So the great 8 went on to battle each other and the winners emerged to be Thesis and Keebs who went up against Lil G and Lamine in the finals bagging a cool 4000 euros.
Sunday saw us heading up to a block party where the DJ blasted out Hip-Hop tunes and party breaks out in the open and everyone was having a good time mixing with each other and dancing like it should be! the day also included a sneaker market which had a wide range of fresh kicks and also a sneaker battle which is where whoever loses a round has to give up the sneakers they are wearing which goes to charity, its just for fun and the overall winner bags themselves a brand new pair of sneakers.
Overall this was a very good weekend and had many hip-hop moments, if this sounds like the sort of thing you want to get involved in make sure you show some interest by turning up to training/classes and just come on in and get involved! Aight?!.. Peace x BBoy Wattsy x

Committee 2010/11
B-Boys B-Girls
The next academic is upon us and to get ready the committee has decided to start preparing now.
Getting down n' dirty:
Over the next few months we will be handing over the committee roles and having meetings to discuss how we can make Cubic a better society for you.
To do this we will be reviewing classes, social events, clothing, workshops, jams, events and much more. If you would like to attend or listen in on the meetings you are welcome just email one of us or simply come along and show up as we will send out details of meetings and such by email facebook and the blog.
The committee roles have been decided at the Annual General Meeting and i would like to give a warm welcome and introduce the following members:
B-Girl Sarra - She is your new president taking over from Ali; contact her if you want her to organise performances that you can be involved in for your Ents, Bops, Balls and other events on sa502@cam.ac.uk
Sarra looking happy
B-Girl Jumoye is the new vice president taking over from Marcus - she will team up with Sarra to run the club as Vice-Prez and will answer all your queries including classes and social events that you ask her in person or send to our committee address (breakdance@cusu.cam.ac.uk).
Jumoye
B-Boy Wattsy (Steve) who you may know from teaching some of the classes last year will still be teaching but this year he will be taking over from Matt Lim by becoming the new Treasurer, please speak to him regarding membership details, classes and anything like that. In addition to this Steve also helps organise open training sessions at St Paul's on a Friday and Sunday, which at the moment is in addition to current training. You can email him on the following: stevendwatts@googlemail.com
Steven chillin
Next up is B-Boy JoeFlow who is taking on the role of Jams/Events and Workshops organiser.
He will be letting you know of jams and events throughout the country which we will go to as a crew to check out how other BBoys battle and get down in the cyphers and when confident enough you can enter battle competitions such as the uni bboy champs which we will be looking to do as its been a long time since a Uni Crew from Cambridge has represented. Also if you're really keen you can speak to him about events that take place in other countries! Overall he can let you know of dates, times and transport and he will also be arranging special one-off workshops where a highly publicised bboy will come and teach a class which will all be funded by the society.

Last but not least i will introduce some friendly faces that have been around for a long time so when none of the above people are about or even if they are you can always speak to one of the following that's if they haven't already come over and spoken to you first!

B-Boy Nin - (short for Ninja) - This guy's always happy to show you a move or 2 don't be afraid to ask he may look like a gangster be he's actually a really nice guy.
Nin with his pigtail grinning away
B-Boy Ali - Last years president, you may not see him around as much as he's done studying for now but I'm sure he will pop in to visit us and help out with classes every now and then so keep your eye out for this guy!
Ali looking dappa
That's it for now guys! There are a few more people who like to train regularly but we wont know if they will be helping to run things yet but if they decide to I'll be sure to introduce you to them through this blog.
