One vs One Whacking Battles:
Open to all levels. With a soul train style qualifier, the aim is to make the space really welcoming for people who are braving the dancefloor for the first time as well as giving those with more experience a chance to show off what they've got. Whether you’ve only ever thought about battling or are a seasoned battle cat, come down and turn out.
‘Pot Luck’ All Styles Crew Battle:
An invitation to everyone in the scene to show up and throw down. Crews will be randomly selected on the night, so you have a chance to get social and hype up others from the community. Bring yourself, bring a friend, bring your nemesis!
Cypher Cat Award:
As a culture that evolved in clubs we also want to honour the people who turn up for the music and for each other. At the end of the night there will be special award for the person who brings the energy to the floor all night, in cyphers, socially and anywhere else.
*If you are thinking about entering any of the battles, please book the relevant ticket below. It will really helps us plan the night. You can always change your mind on the day!
