BBOY JAMS

it's just a topic about bboy jam

I have been to many jams and experienced the best and the worst
Here it is my few advices to all the bboy promoters around the world
it's not to dissrespect anybody but just to give some advice to bboys that organise jams...or want to organise jams.
Orgabnising a jam is a big responsability...when bboys go to a waaack jam then they loose their motivation and they might stop going to jam if they go to too many waack jams in a row

1. Choose a dope venue (the floor is the most important)
chose a venue that fits perfectly the audience that you wait
it's better to have a packed small venue than a big empty one, nothing worse than that
BBoys, we like to dance on the floor and feel the audience around us...try to have this skeme...but i understand that it's not really possible with a really big number of audience (like more than 500)

2. Don't spare money on a good DJ...you can go to the best venue with an incredible floor...the motor and the heart of the dance is the music...and if the music is not good..the jam can be destroyed. The most importnat thing on a jam is too create a good wibe with a good dj and a good host that make people have good time. try to avoid the screaming host (i have seen in some countries some host insulting the audience for not calpping and even worse...)
The dj motivate the dancers
The speaker entertain the crowd

3. Don't try to put too much competitions in the same jam
D'ont be scared about having free time where people can dance for fun or talk and chill...nothing worse than one day full of (2vs2, one footwork battle, one powermove battle, one king of the cypher..etc and finally not enough time to do them..or even worse been allmost kick out of the venue becaue the jam overpass the limit of the time, or doing a 2 minutes crew battle because you don t have time left)

4. Noting worse than a jam that last for more than 6 hours....try to make the qualification systhem faster...when you're too long in the same spot...and wait between the battles...it's boring!


There is more about organising a jam but thoses points are the most important for me and if you have them on point than nothing bad can really happen
A good jam is not a jam where there is a lot of people, it's just a jam where people that attend the jam have FUNNNN even if there is 15 persons.

Peace
