We received an amazing response from our first Hip Hop Collective night last year at Tech Styles 5, so join us on the Friday as we celebrate the Bgirls in Bradford and the impact female breakers have had on the community. Alongside inspirational talks, live music and cyphering, there will also be live street art being created by our specially selected Graffiti Artists! After all of this, we will finish the night with a big jam session as our DJs provide us with the banging beats! Although this year is about highlighting the Bgirls in Bradford & Women in Hip Hop, we want everyone to come through and represent!

With every Tech Styles, the level in this category increases! Last year saw the Dragon Assassins (Bgirl Eddie & Bgirl Terra) come storming through the battles to take the win! The young guns in the UK are on the rise, will the Dragon Assassins return to try and take the win or will we crown new winners this year?!
