It will feature a dance battle tournament in three categories, Popping solos, Locking solos and Breaking two vs two.

Breaking winners will win a cash prize.

What is Popping, Locking, Breaking?
Popping, Locking and Breaking are all streetdance styles which formed without formal direction in urban cityscapes. Popping and Locking appeared in the greater L.A. area in the mid 70s whilst Breaking had it's origins in the South Bronx, NYC in the late 70s. Today, these dance styles have spread out around the world from across the US, to Europe, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Australia, South East Asia and Singapore

What is a Dance Battle Tournament?.
A dance battle in a competition such as R16 is when two opposing individuals or teams face off to show their range of ability, feeling, technical skills and routines in a pre-determined number of rounds, with a judge presiding and ,making a verdict on the winner. The DJ selects the music on the spot, during the battle, thus the competitors have no opportunity to rehearse or practice to that song - they have to rely on their wits, skills and creativity to do the best spontaneous performance that they can. Individuals/Teams battle in a knockout tournament format (Quarters, Semis and Finals) until a champion is found.
