Battle Categories:
“To the Beat" - Your classic W*acking battle. Show the music in your arms, lines, textures, and movement. It’s all about rhythm, clarity, and how you interpret the beat.
“To the Feels” - A category centred on emotion, storytelling, and feeling. NO LIP SYNCING: it’s all about the dance, the intention, and the drama you bring to the floor.
“Show Your Talent” - A celebration of individuality and cultural expression. From street to traditional - EVERYTHING is welcome. Cultural and traditional dance is highly encouraged. Bring your talent, your story, and your style.
Expect big energy, big characters, and a room full of hype as dancers showcase their individuality, storytelling, and connection to the music.
Whether you’re battling, spectating, or cheering from the sidelines, this is one of the most joyful and expressive dance events of the year!
