Battle of the Year Dance Competition Gets Major Backing


(AllAfrica Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Telecoms firm, MTN has thrown its weight behind this year's edition of the annual Battle of The Year dance competition. Jolomi Kendaboh CEO House of Royalty and Project Coordinator for BOTY said: "I will like to formally announce that MTN has thrown its weight behind this year's edition of Battle of The Year Dance competition. Expect this year's edition to be better than the last with MTN's backing as we hope to take the standards of the dance competition to the next level." BOTY is an annual international break-dancing series that began in Hannover, Germany over 20 years ago.



Its uniqueness is the battle between break-dance crews as opposed to individual break-dance battle. Regional qualifying tournaments, also known as preliminaries, are held worldwide culminating in the World Finals event, which is usually held in Germany. As the biggest in its genre, the event is attended annually by over 12000 visitors across the world. Battle of the Year is widely regarded as the World Cup of break-dancing. Battle of the Year Nigeria is the preliminary to the annual International Battle of the Year Break-dance Championship which features the best B-boy crews across country competing for the spot to represent Nigeria and Africa at the Battle of the Year International events. Since it debuted in Nigeria in 2008, the Battle of the Year Break-dance Championship has recorded tremendous success through participation and recognition amongst thousands of Nigerian youths who now embrace the culture of Break-dancing as a way of life.
