El evento metropolitano organizado por las coordinadoras de Programas Municipales de Juventud, la Municipalidad Metropolitana de Lima y la Asociación Cultural D1fue presentado en el Parque de la Exposición del Circuito Mágico del Agua por el subgerente de organizaciones juveniles, Marco Lozano Fernández y la bailarina Vania Masías.

Vania Masías, al respecto del Concurso de Coreografías mencionó: “Es un trabajo en equipo, me parece una iniciativa maravillosa de la Municipalidad de Lima al enterarse que había el FICU y se le ocurrió articularlo para así todos ayudarnos a promover entre los jóvenes el arte de las danzas urbanas. Así todos vamos para arriba, lo cual es el tipo de trabajo que necesitamos en nuestro país”.

Las actividades artísticas y culturales se realizarán el viernes 29 de junio en el Centro Cívico de Comas y el 30 de junio en la Plaza de Armas de Santa Anita, a partir de las tres de la tarde.

Los ganadores de ambos concursos pasarán automáticamente a la final de la ‘Batallas de Crew’ del Festival Cultural Internacional de Culturas Urbanas FICU a realizarse los días 6,7 y 8 de julio en el Parque de Lima.
