They want, in break-dance slang, a battle. At a summer party sponsored by a local radio station, junior high teen-age girls crowd the dance floor. The boys line the floor, watching. The dance stops and the giggling girls make a circle to form a human arena.
People choose sides, facing each other.
It's time for the break-dance contest. Mid-Town, a crew from Midland, won the last battle and the Odessa teams want revenge.
