One person required stitches and a mother and son were arrested after a brawl between two dance teams that began during an impromptu "dance off," police said.
"This is a whole new arena" of crime, said Wichita police Lt. Jeff Easter.
The Dynamic Steppers were practicing routines Saturday night when members of another dance "drill" team, the White Tigers, showed up and challenged them to a "dance-off," police said.
Drill teams are comprised of dancers and drummers. The dancing involves complex choreography and combines elements of military drills with contemporary jazz and hip-hop moves, along with singing and chanting to percussion. Teams often meet in competitions held throughout the U.S.
When the White Tigers team appeared to be losing on Saturday, a woman hit a 17-year-old Dynamic Steppers drummer in the face with a drumstick, Easter said.
The teen, a former member of the White Tigers, punched the 28-year-old woman in the face. He then got into his car and tried to run over spectators, witnesses told police.
The boy's mother, a Dynamic Steppers coach, grabbed a box cutter and sliced the other woman's arm. The wound required eight stitches.
The mother was charged Monday with aggravated battery, and the son faced assault charges.
An estimated 50 people were involved in the brawl, and police said more charges are possible.

Uhhhhhh......yeah....I don't know. I can't think of anything smart-assy enough to say to do this story justice.
I'm picturing Ronette Reagan's goons squaring off against Richard Simmon's posse but I just can't.....
We've been having a time with two groups of rappers shooting up each others houses.
One group claims to be 'legit' rappers (whatever that means, one apparently may have a record label) and the other group is not.
So far no one has been hit by the gunfire. Seems they're both not very legit shooters.
Make the parents stay home!
I'm soooo embarrassed.
Millee!!
Quit airing our dirty laundry.
Dang!

Huh?
Beat me to it!
Sorry BerthaDee! I'm sure you were perfectly justified in using the box cutters. You can use me as a character witness if you want. (Now, put the weapon down........)
I thought smacking somebody in the face with a drumstick then trying to run over them with a car were both well known "hip hop moves".
Mugatu: They're break-dance fighting.
I had to cut 'em.
'you don't watch your p's and q's, and I'll cut you too, Milleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Like a pair of cheap . . . something . . . hmmmm, ok, like a pair of cheap shorts.
Did you buy that?
Should I have said panties?
What about shoes?
Um, eyeglasses?
Brain is going to sleep without me.
I hate it when that happens, it gets all tingly when it re-awakens.
Don't mess with me, boy!
hehe, Wren...
