Since I’ve come to Iowa I’ve noticed that they always seem to find a way to get something here that very few other colleges offer. \u00a0So I was surprisingly unsurprised to find out that they were hosting a round of one of the biggest break dancing competitions in the Midwest. \u00a0The UI Breakers were excited to spread the word about I Oughta Wreck Alway5, or IOWA5, which took place on Saturday September 21st. Teams from all over the nation gathered in the ballroom of our very own Iowa Memorial Union to compete for the thousand dollar prize. \u00a0Los Boogie provided the music for the event, and judges Mijo, Monki, and JesseJess not only kept the competition moving forward but showcased their own dance skills before we hit the final rounds. \u00a0A shootout to E.N.I. who took home the nights prize. \u00a0Check out the video to see some of the amazing dancers I was lucky to see!<\/p>\n

It was really to see the turn out from the First Year Hawks and Community 234 LLCs as well. \u00a0I had an amazing time and it seems like everyone else in attendance did too. \u00a0People were gathered shoulder to shoulder as not to miss a second of the performance, and as the competition continued it seemed as though the circle of spectators were closing in. If you’re at all interested in stepping out of your comfort zone or just checking out some amazing modern day b-boys I would recommend checking Iowa out and\/or keeping up with the UI Breakers. \u00a0So proud to be a Hawkeye!<\/p>\n
