BATTLE AT LEVINGS
The Battle at Levings, a one-on-one elimination-style invitational competition, drew a few hundred spectators to the park at 1420 S. Pierpont Ave. on the southwest side. It featured dancers from Chicago, Rockford and the surrounding area facing off before a panel of judges to showcase their breakdance skills such as uprock, floorwork and power moves.
Competitors also interact with and respond to their opponent in the one-on-one competition. Think of it like the back-and-forth words exchanged in a rap battle, but your feet do the talking.
