Get involved
It's not all about watching the action on stage, though: the hip hop festival at Southbank Centre gives you the chance to get involved with a series of workshops and masterclasses. Experienced dancers can learn some new moves at the popping, locking and footwork masterclasses, while all abilities can head out onto the floor for a night of hip hop funk dancing at the We Got Funk event.
DJ battle
Think you've got what it takes to keep the crowds dancing all night long? Then head to the DJ battle to end all battles on the alfresco Riverside Terrace for the chance to show your stuff. There's also a hip hop set from poet and DJ Charlie Dark, a history of hip hop presented by MOBO Award winning Akala, a block party hosted by DJ Jazzy Jay and more special events taking place throughout the weekend.
The Intelligent Movement hip hop festival at Southbank Centre runs from Thursday 14th July - Sunday 17th July 2011. Ticket prices vary, with some events free of charge.
