Dance is an integral part of Hip Hop that allows a different form of expression and a certain finesse. Southampton was an early adopter of Breakdance and it brought together a flourishing youth culture that took up its ethos wholeheartedly and is still with us to this day. Southampton boasts a 3 x World Champion Body-popper in Poppin Ron and that should be celebrated for the achievement that it is, so catch him perform at 1.15pm this Saturday, followed by the new generation of B-Boys and some old gits :) at 2.30pm & 3.45pm.

Southampton has a vibrant underground scene and Lovemade Music are part of that. They tell the stories of their generation as they see it and give the occasional cheeky nod to wider society issues. Catch Muru, Calvin Forbes & 'Fats' Rufat McKay in Guildhall Square as part of Re:Claim Southampton at 3pm this Saturday.
