Episode Five Of Nickelodeon UK's "Jordan & Perri's Ultimate Block Party" To Feature The Welsh Breakers (Also Known As Vortex Breakdancers); To Guest Star Diversity's Very Own Crew Leader, Ashley Banjo

Nickelodeon UK and Ireland have announced in the "What's On Nickelodeon" schedule section on Nick.co.uk and in the channels latest 'Next Week on Jordan & Perri' promo/trailer currently airing on Nick UK, the Nickelodeon UK News that the fifth brand new episode of Nick UK and Sky 1 HD's brand new dance-themed reality series "Jordan & Perri's Ultimate Block Party", which Nickelodeon UK & Ireland and Nickelodeon HD UK will premiere and show on Friday 5th July 2013 at 6.30pm (repeated at 7.30pm on Nick UK's +1 (plus-one) timeshift channel, Nick+1), will feature the shows presenters, Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely, of British street dance troupe Diversity fame, helping The Welsh Breakers, a group of five young boys from a sleepy-village in the Welsh Valleys who have formed their own crew called the Vortex Breakdancers, to enhance their dance skills and pull off a performance that will impress all their friends! A special guest shows up to give the group some last minute teaching – Diversity's very own crew leader, Ashley Banjo - but only after the boys put Ashley through his paces with a quick game of rugby.

The Vortex Breakdancers is a dance group formed to help keep local kids out of mischief in their otherwise quiet, small town near Newport. Made up from Jayden, 13, Cameron, 11, Ethan, 11, Liam, 13, and Kenny, 12, the group has a real family-like bond, especially as they are unofficially managed by one of the group member's brothers. According to the boys, nothing ever happens in their village and so they couldn't have been more excited to be surprised by Jordan and Perri. Finally, a chance to spice things up! Luckily, The Break Dancers already have street dance experience, but working with Jordan and Perri means they can try to perfect their “resurrection” dance moves, improve their flips and spins, and most importantly perfect their kick-butt attitude:

Sanjay and Craig continue their best bud adventures this Saturday, June 29, at 10:30a.m. ET/PT during a new episode of Nickelodeon’s Sanjay and Craig. First in “Traffical Island,” the kids turn against Sanjay when he maroons them all on a highway median.

Sanjay and Craig follows the adventures of Sanjay, an excitable and irreverent 12-year-old boy (Maulik Pancholy, 30 Rock) and Craig, a smooth-talking snake and master of disguise (Chris Hardwick, Nerdist, The Talking Dead). Together, they embark on epic kid-inspired quests that are at times totally ridiculous, absolutely gross and weirdly sweet. From perfecting the ultimate bike skid, tightroping across a pool of garbage on a dare or Craig manipulating a contest to win his best buddy one hundred dogs, their routine hijinks often cross into the land of the fantastical and the absurd. Only Sanjay and his closest friends can hear Craig’s warped words of wisdom. The only thing that stands in their way is their unhinged, snake-phobic neighbor, Mr. Noodman (Tony Hale, Veep, Arrested Development), who’s always on the verge of figuring out that Craig can talk.
