We chose Giggs to launch AViT’s UK talent photo shoots, due to his recent achievements, which got him international recognition winning the B.E.T award for UK’s best Hip Hop act 2008.
Here are a few snaps, but watch this space for and exclusive AViT® interview coming soon…
Avit Clothing were one of the sponsors for Rising Tide festival in Shoredith.
Acts included Daneo who perfomed Devil in a Blue Dress, and African Warrior, along with Nu Brand Flexxx.
I’m pleased to announce that on the 1st March 2008 the amazing dance troupe PERIDOT were crowned the new UK HIP HOP dance Champions of 2008! This means Peridot will be entered in to the LAS VEGAS HIP HOP WORLD INTERNATIONAL Dance Competition to represent the UK!!
Peridot amazed the whole stadium with their Creative army theme, perfect syncronised movements and explosive acrobatics, so it was only right that they came first in line to become the UK Champz!
After they finished their two minute dance piece the audience and even their competitors cheered there lungs off and gave Peridot a standing ovation. Peridot was up against dance groups from all over the UK and Wales such as Nemises, Elementz, Alter Ego and that’s to name but a few!
There were three awards up for grabs which were the UK HIP HOP Champions of 2008 troufee and an automatic entry in to the HIP HOP world Championships, a £1000 towards the trip and the “Freedom of Expression and Creativity Award! When the announcement was made of who would be crowned UK HIP HOP Dance Champions, PERIDOT’s faces were a mixture of shock, happiness, satisfaction and relief! So you can imagine how their faces looked when the Host announced that they also won the £1000 towards the trip, plus the “Freedom of Expression and Creativity” award.. Yep Peridot wowed the judges that much that they awarded them all three prize awards!
The last UK Dance troupe to Win the HIP HOP dance World Championships was the amazing group called “PLAGUE” which was back in 2005. So we think it’s about time that UK stepped up to the plate and take back the world championship title back home to the UK!
AVIT wants to say a big WELL DONE to PERIDOT and we can’t for you guys to go to LAS VEGAS and Merk!!

Venue: Sheffield Ponds Forge Arena
AViT® sponsored Street 2 Elite Basketball Tournament 2008 that took place in Sheffield’s Ponds Forge Arena.
Along with great basketball the crowd was entertained by one of our favourite presenters Kat (from MTV Base / Choice FM). There were performances from street dance crew ‘Graffiti,’ and various up and coming artists, but the highlight for this event was with Kano’s performance.
During the tournament a few moments were taken away form the game to a more serious side to the event. South Yorkshire police held an anti knife and gun demonstration on court. The piece showed the effects of gun and knife crime has had on communities.
