Arriving at five p.m., the room was already scattered variously with dancers and friends as people kicked down their skill level and warmed up for the B-Boy and B-Girl event, C.R.E.A.M. at the Fair Oaks, CA Community Center, located in the heart of Old Fair Oaks.

Old Fair Oaks is known for their small-town sense and chickens that roam the streets but there was anything but birds inside the center, over 60 roosters and hens were ready to battle without fear.

Hosted by Mahtie Bush of hip-hop group Alumni and judged by hip-hop veterans Tet, Matt Cash of Floor Raskals and NorthStar Zulu Nation [Northern CA Chapter], Anthony “A-Jax” Jackson [RockForce], Marcus “Marx” Ramos [Flexible Flave] and Footloose and because of the overwhelming sign-ups of b-boys and b-girls, there were five groups of dancers. Each brought what they had to offer to the judges. Once the first round was accomplished, the judges picked the best dancers in each group to battle each other for a $100 prize.
Icy J, Freedom, Emiko, Allen, Kool -Aid, B-St., George and Freak Roc were final dancers to battle it out. Icy J brought funk to the floor as Freedom won the round. Emiko kept it real as a B-Girl had had very good moves but was won over by Freak Roc who would make crazy moves such as air flares and head spinning. Allen was a little generic with his moves but still kept it real winning over Kool -Aid who had his own style. George who seemed very cocky with his moves was won over by BEAT STREET who seemed humble and definitely knows the fundamentals of breakin’.

The final battle came down to Allen Vs. Freak Roc. The DJ brought a Latin break beat for Allen and more of a funky beat for Freak Roc – the two battled it out till the end when Allen won the C.R.E.A.M. B-Boy and B-Girl Event.
