The beginning of our BBGL events
My journey into event creation began as a natural extension of my passion for breaking and community building. Alongside my Family , Friends and NBK crew-mates, What started as a desire to provide a space for dancers to connect, compete, and grow soon evolved into organizing events that reflected the culture and spirit of breaking. From those first cyphers and battles to larger, community-driven gatherings, each event has been a step towards contributing to and shaping the vibrant landscape of breaking.
This video documents the first edition of CYPHA IN DA HOOD, a raw and authentic Bboy/Bgirl event founded and created by Henry “Rival” Vijande. First launched over 17 years ago, this cypher-centered event helped elevate local talent while honoring the foundation and energy of the culture.
"CYPHA IN DA HOOD, CYPHER IN THE HOOD ” is an original event series founded and created by Henry “Rival” Vijande.
First launched and publicly published over 17 years ago, the event has been independently organized and promoted
through Rival’s platform, including its early editions:
CYPHA IN DA HOOD 1, 2, and 3.
