Breakin' Your Heart
Flowers, dinner, chocolates, handmade valentines that express your true love and desire -- how passé. What will really woo your sweetie over is some good ol'-fashioned popping and locking. Remember how Turbo was so inspired by his lady love in Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo that he started breakin' up the walls? Your love is like that, except without the cut-off mesh shirt and genie pants.
Ditch the conventional Valentine's Day hullaballoo and watch as area b-boys and b-girls (including Chicago's own Brickheadz crew) work it out at the breakdance battle and video game competition. Live DJs will play, and the video games will be projected on a huge screen. It really is something to watch as competitors dance, though I warn you now: You will feel a bit old and creaky in comparison.
It takes place on Friday, February 15 at Alternatives rec center (4730 N. Sheridan Rd.); the doors open at 6 p.m., and the battle begins at 8. Admission is $5, which goes toward Alternatives programs and battle prizes.
