The premiere one-on-one street dance competition is coming to the US for the first full-fledged tour this summer. Red Bull Dance Your Style is all about giving freedom to dancers and showcasing the world of street dance in front of a live audience. The dancers are invited to compete live in the round in front of an audience who will vote based on their ability to WOW the crowd to advance to the next round. There’s no pressure of a panel of judges, no planned choreography, and no pre-chosen music, it’s all about embracing the moment and moving to the beat.

Spanning across three months of events, the Red Bull Dance Your Style qualifiers will kick off on June 15th in Honolulu at Kaka’ako Warehouse Event Space and continue on to Washington D.C. on July 20th at the Howard Theatre, Miami on July 27th at Story, Boston on August 2nd at the House of Blues, New Orleans on August 3rd at Generations Hall before wrapping up with two last events: a Los Angeles qualifier on August 10th and the US National Dance Your Style Final in Las Vegas in September. More details about the both events will be announced in the upcoming weeks.

Red Bull Dance Your Style showcases the best dancers in the US across hip-hop, popping, waacking, and locking. Participating artists will have to use the dancefloor as their canvas to thrill, surprise, and delight the audience. Winners from the Red Bull DanceYour Style US National Final in Vegas in September will advance to the Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final taking place in Paris, France on October 12th.

After more than 50 events held in more than 30 countries all over the world, the global street dance battle will bring together only the most exceptional talents to compete at the first-ever World Final. Paris, the European street dance mecca, city of art, lights and love is known globally for its music, fashion and art and the beautiful La Grande Halle de la Villette, will become the stage of this ultimate street dance showcase.
