Break it down now

Rooted in the old-school New York City hip-hop scene, breaking (a.k.a. B-boying or break-dancing) is now an internationally popular dance style, and Sacramento's a hotbed of breaking talent. This weekend, the Sacramento area hosts a three-day breaking event called Sactown Underground 3. It kicks off on Friday, May 30, with a workshop by B-Boy Gravity and an open dance session ($5, 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Sacramento State University's Yosemite Hall, Room 187 at 6000 J Street). Day two offers dance battles, graffiti demonstrations, a performance by Sacramento emcee Mahtie Bush, and beats from DJ BzBeats and DJ Quantum HH ($15, 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 31; at the California Automobile Museum, 2200 Front Street). Day three features a choreography competition and guest host—and Roseville native—Dominic Sandoval, who goes by D-Trix (pictured) and was part of a winning team on America's Best Dance Crew ($20, 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 1; at Cosumnes Oaks High School Performing Arts Center, 8350 Lotz Parkway in Elk Grove).
