Contest Winners
Dance in Finals
By Lisa Acosta
Staff Writer
Triple Joint or Computron
may sound like names for new
video games but actually they
are two of the young per¬
formers from the Southern Cal¬
ifornia Break Dance Cham¬
pionships on Saturday.
The contest took place in the
Sexson Auditorium. Per¬
formances by dancers from the
movies Breakin’ and Beat
Street were also featured.
Competition categories were
determined by different age
level groups. The winners of
this event (the first of four
regional championships) were
Fastbreak for the best group,
Germain Radcliff in the 10
years of age and under category
and Vincent JoTmson as a single
performer. The contest did not
provide any prizes, but the win¬
ners will go on to perform in the
finals in which $10,000 in cash
prizes will be awarded.
Many of the performers are
dancing professionally and
earning a living from break
dancing. Kevin Foster, 22, a
former PCC student, and the
second place winner in both the
best group and singles catego¬
ries, stated, “I have a Mountain
Dew commercial out right now
and 10 videos. I’ve been surviv¬
ing on my dancing for the last
year.”
The $10,000 was sponsored by
the Coca Cola Bottling Com¬
pany and Puma USA. Falcon
Pay television service filmed
the show to be aired in late July
or early August during the
Olympics. Clips from the per¬
formances will be shown as
part of a special program to be
featured.
The Pasadena Police Depart¬
ment along with private
promoter Tom Atkin, presented
the contest.
A portion of the money raised
in the event, will send socially
and economically deprived
youngsters to camp. The police
department in conjunction with
the Parks and Recreation De¬
partment, locates children in
the Pasadena area between 10
to 16 years of age and sends
them to camp.
The camp, located in the An¬
geles Crest Mountains, con¬
tinues for one week and is co¬
educational. Sergeant Jorge
Garcia stated, “We are not
always here to put people in
jail, we are here to help. We
want the kids to know there is a
better life for them out there.”
Janis Duncan, community re¬
lations representative for the
police department said, “I’ve
been to these shows before, and
they have always brought about
a lot of family participation.”
KIQQ and KDAY radio sta¬
tions helped publicize the event
and more than 900 people at¬
tended.
The second of the four re-
gionals will take place on July 7
at Cal State Northridge located
in the San Fernando Valley.
Further information is avail¬
able by calling (818) 343-1165.
