NEW BRITAIN, Conn. — A man died while trying to outdo a rival with an acrobatic move while "battle dancing (javascript:siteSearch('battle dancing');)," police said.
Robert Stitt (javascript:siteSearch('Robert Stitt');), 48, and his rival were competing in a parking lot Monday night when he tried a forward flip and landed on his head.
"It was just two guys dancing. Everybody was laughing," Stitt's friend John Boxley said.
Boxley said James Brown (javascript:siteSearch('James Brown');) was on the radio and Stitt wanted to outdo a rival dancer, who had flipped in the air.
Police said the victim went into cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead a short time at a local hospital.
Police said several people were in the parking lot drinking and battle dancing — a competition in which each dancer tries one-upmanship with unique moves.
