Whose moves are more stylin’? Top street dancers from Russia and Japan face off in a Eurasian hip-hop battle for the ages. At a time when Japan is at odds with its neighbors, promoter Min-On conceived of a hip-hop battle as a way of bringing young people together. Events have been held with South Korean dancers in ’07 and ’09 and in 2010 with a Chinese team. The Russian team Predatorz Crew will have their hands full trying to get the better of Japanese dancers including the impossibly lithe Fresh Seiji, some of them top-ranked worldwide. The winner is to be determined by audience response.
