About Frienemies:This event will bring an underground event to crown a 1 B-boy/1 B-girl as the BEST. Each one has to represent the mosteffectively throughout the day in a STRICTLY CIPHER driven event.(Frienemies is about representing in the ciphers. Every B-boy and B-girl is on their own! No preset battles. In the early to mid 80's, breaking was at an all time high throughout the world.Crews were rolling thick and a lot of them were at peace. The only time they didn't get along was when it was time to battle in the club.Rock Steady Crew and New York City Breakers were going to places like Negril,The Roxy, Kennedy High School and otherplaces where jams were going down. No one was worried about hurting someone's feelings or concerned with battling their own friends, but rather battled with a fierce will to win. We were all "FRIENEMIES"."Frienemies" is the place to battle that person that you chill with on a regular basisand show him/her that they're not as good as they brag about all the time.)
