Red Bull Dance Your Style, the world’s largest urban street dance competition, returns to Kenya for its fifth edition, promising exhilarating battles and electrifying performances.
This renowned dance competition will traverse various regions across Kenya, scouting for the most exceptional dancers who will compete for the coveted title of Kenya’s ultimate champion.
Red Bull Dance Your Style is celebrated for its unique format, where the audience plays a pivotal role in determining the winner. Dancers showcase their creativity, freestyle prowess, and musicality in front of a live audience, with all urban dance styles welcomed except for breakdancing—the sole unbreakable rule.
Each battle unfolds to the beats of unpredictable music, challenging dancers to adapt, express their individual styles, and captivate the crowd. After every exhilarating showdown, spectators hold up blue or red placards to cast their votes, ultimately crowning the champion and securing a spot in the world final.
The journey doesn’t end there. The national champion will proudly represent Kenya at the world finals in Mumbai, India, slated for November 9th, with the winner enjoying an all-expenses-paid trip to showcase their talent on the global stage.
