We B* Girlz

More about the book

"In 1985, B-Boys were all the rage, but where were the girls? Fast-forward twenty years for the answer: We B*Girlz, a lively look at the hot and happenin' world of B-Girlz of the twenty-first century as documented by photographer Martha Cooper and writer Nika Kramer. Breaking is back with a new twist as today's stylish fly girls can battle the best of them. Featuring pioneering B-Girlz like Rokafella from the Bronx, who now dances professionally, and Asia-One from L.A., who organized and promoted the B-Boy Summit for ten years, We B*Girlz--the first handbook for accomplished or aspiring B-Girlz and the boys who admire them--showcases the dynamic style and nonstop energy of B-Girlz in action, in practice, and on stage. Providing inspiring insight into a previously little-known subculture that has swept the world, We B*Girlz includes chapters on "Herstory", "Girlz n' Crewz", "B-Boys", "Floor Warz", "We B-Family", "We B-Stylin'", "B-Girl Careers", and "B-Girl Resources", including information on websites, gear, events, competitions, and classes."--Publisher's website
