This annual three-day international festival of hip hop and dance theatre, curated by Sadler's Wells associate artist Jonzi D, celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2013. Breakin' Convention 2013 features performances from some of the world's greatest poppers, lockers, B-boys and B-girls, and includes a whole evening dedicated to world premieres from UK companies. It's a frenzy of cutting-edge moves with one head-spinning act after another taking to the stage to wow audiences - all hosted by Jonzi D, a central force in bringing street culture to Britain in the early 80s. Alongside world class performances the weekend is packed with live aerosol jams, workshop programmes, DJ demos, freestyle circles and a world record attempt for the longest continuous popping wave.
