flipping over |
There
were quite a few people watching these DJs go to work and at one
point both DJs were flexing their skills simultaneously.
The
crowd were also entertained by break-dancers who were doing flips
and floor spins both old and new styles and it wasn't just left
to the experts with lots of people having a go.
All
of the artists are working on other projects like albums with bands
that they've formed and will continue to tour around the world over
the next few months.
