On May 21, breakdancers (bboys) from around the country will gather
at Friedens Church
in the Hyde Park neighborhood to put their skills to the test. Four-
person crews will
battle for an $800 prize. The competition will be judged by Chester
(Rocksolid, Texas),
Arkimedez (Soapbox Prophets, St. Louis), Alex (Motion Disorderz,
Milwaukee) and
Romalicious Rex (Upstairs Ruckus, Kansas City). Bboys can pre-
register for $8 at
www.durterebelz.com. Those registering at the door must register by
5:30 p.m.

DJs Trackstar (Honors English, St. Louis), Skinny (St. Louis) and
Nemesis (Rocksolid,
Texas) will bring the noise. T-shirts and other fresh gear will be
available for
purchase from Digitronical, Soapbox Prophets, Detour Production,
Durte Vintage and
Illstarebel. There will also be food and beverages for sale.

As a website, a clothing line, a production crew and a creative
force, Digitronical is
dedicated to the relentless search for untapped talent within the
crowded halls of the
underground school. The Commonspace is a nonprofit organization
that promotes
grassroots civics and culture in St. Louis. Starting in June, The
Commonspace and
Digitronical will host free and open breakdancing sessions at
Friedens on the second and
fourth Saturdays of each month from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Since 1857, Friedens United Church of Christ has been a steadfast
pillar of the
community surrounding its special corner at N. 19th St. and Newhouse
Ave. in north St.
Louis. It provides services including hospice care, free weekly
community lunches,
mission trips to Nicaragua, job training, a food pantry, parenting
classes and after-
school programs. By recognizing hip hop as the dominant youth
culture of today, it is
helping to plant the seeds of urban renewal by bringing positive
energy to a struggling
neighborhood.
