week leading up to the battles, New-York-City-based Buddha

for aspiring street dancers. He’s choreographed the likes
of Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson and Will Smith. This is a
family event and the competition is open to men and women
of all ages, so bring grandma, just be sure to explain what
‘twerking’ is beforehand. AB
