Attention Sydney dancers – it’s time to bring your A-game!

Beat Breakdown is back with a brand-new season of 1v1 dance battles, featuring a mix of styles and some serious talent, all happening on the Darling Harbour dance floor from August 28 to September 25.

Whether you’re a master at krumping, Hip Hop, Locking, or Dancehall, this is your chance to showcase your skills, win incredible prizes and impress the crowd.

What to expect: Beat Breakdown is an open battle format with up to 32 spots available each week. Signing up to compete is totally free as well as coming along to watch. Grab your crew and bring your best moves - we've got you covered.

Dance styles: Every week will feature a different style. Tonight is Krumping; evolved from a 90s dance style called “Clowning”, which was a style invented by Thomas Johnson (Tommy the Clown).

The energetic and fast-paced movements became hugely popular among younger 'Angelenos.' It gave them an outlet to express themselves and their stories, serving as a temporary reprieve away from their violent neighbourhoods.

The top two performers will move on to the final Beat Breakdown to take their shot at the All Star Battle on September 25.

Special guests include:

Alice Tauv (DJ Arisse)	DJ
Titan rage (Vincent Rivera)	Judge
Queen Red (sabrina)	judge
Toni Hannibal	Judge
Red (Stacy Peke)	Hype Judge
Karen Siu	MC
