Last weekend saw Western Union Money Transfer host an event for their amazing new £4.90!! initiative launch. World record holder and UK number 1 freestyler, Steady, gave people the opportunity to compete against him in a bid to outperform the amazing B-Boy battler at the launch in London which was dubbed “The £4.90 Western Union Dance Off”.
From Jamaican heritage, Steady started breaking as a cheeky kid in the 80s during the first wave of bboys. He is one of the few original artists to have maintained the dance through the years and has helped to revive the scene in the UK, introducing numerous kids to bboying.
