Frienemies Hip Hop Battle to be Held in Vladivostok

VLADIVOSTOK. November 10. VOSTOK-MEDIA – The 4th Far Eastern “Frienemies” Championship will take place in the capital of Primorsky Krai on November 15.


The Frienemies hip-hop dance battle originated in New York, where The Rock Steady Crew, one of the pioneers of the break dance, has been running the event for more than 30 years. It is worthy of note that Vladivostok is the only Russian city where the dance battle is held.


The word “frienemy” consists of two words, friend and enemy. Every b-boy and b-girl is welcome to challenge any other participant in the event. Based on the result of the contest, the judges decide the three final winners. Interestingly, the panel of judges is kept in secret from the participants until the very final. Judges, like the ordinary participants, can challenge somebody to a dance battle or just sit and watch the contest. It was arranged this way so that those participating in the event were dancing for their own pleasure, without paying attention to the authority of a judge and his preferences.


The dance battle takes place on 15 November, 4 pm (local time) in the Kauri dance hall, located in the Olimpiets sports complex (2A, Batareynaya Street). Entry fee: RUR 150.
