A&E Dispatch | Seattle is a breakdance battleground

The presidential election may be over, but there's another battle to be won. More than 300 youth are expected to turn out for a showdown of Seattle breakdancers. They will be competing for cash prizes Saturday — showing their stuff in front of world-renowned judges from California and Korea.

There will also be an eight-man battle featuring breakdancers from Japan, Sweden and South Korea.

The battle is coordinated by The Good Foot Arts Collective, a nonprofit organization that engages the community and youth with positive life messages through the arts.

Here is a link to a video from last year's contest, which includes everything from synchronized breakdancing to folks jumping off each other and flipping — www.vimeo.com/412063.

Named "4 the LUV of It," the battle is into its third year and kicks off 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8, at the Chong Wa Benevolent Building, on 522 Seventh Ave. S., in Seattle. Tickets are $10, or $8 with student I.D. For more information, go to — www.myspace.com/goodfoot411.
