Today-next Sunday: There are no damsels in distress during B-Girl Be, just confident, strong divas who excel at their craft. The annual celebration of women in hip-hop displays the fancy footwork of local dancers and choreographers during showcases by Flava Tamers, Beat Contortionists and Decipher This. "Soothsayers: Spoken Word at the Sugar Shack" is an evening of verbal prowess hosted by Desdamona on Friday. A block party Saturday will feature live mural painting, music and an art marketplace. Tongues will twist and turn during a fierce display of feminine vs. masculine verbal skills in the "Vocal Acrobatics" stage show. (Various times today-next Sun.
