Dance-off led to rumble
`It sounded like something out of a teen competition movie such as “Drumline” or “Bring it On.”
But the brawl that broke out Saturday night at McAdams Park following a spontaneous “dance-off” wasn’t a movie scene, and police and city officials on Monday were sorting through the aftermath that left one person hurt and two others — a mother and a son — facing criminal charges.
“This is a whole new arena” of crime, said Lt. Jeff Easter of the Wichita Police Department’s gang and felony assault section.
The Dynamic Steppers, a local drill team, was practicing routines at McAdams Park near 13th and I-135 on Saturday night when members of another drill team, the White Tigers, showed up and challenged the others to what was described as a “dance-off,” police said.’
