Beat Breakdown | All Star Battle

Rise to the challenge and unleash your dance potential

Sydney dancers, it’s time to step up! Beat Breakdown is the newest 1v1 dance battle, bringing different styles to the Darling Harbour dance floor each month.

Whether you’re a master at breaking, popping, locking or waacking – this is your chance to share your style, win epic prizes and wow the crowd. 

Beat Breakdown is an open battle, with 30 spots available. Signing up for the battle is free, and it’s also free to watch. Bring your talent and your crew, it’s all on us!

Each month, we celebrate a different dance style, but in December, it’s time for our end of year All Star Battle. We’re welcoming back all the winners and runners-up from the August to November rounds, showcasing a spectacular array of styles including Krumping, Dancehall, Locking, House and Lite Feet. The competition heats up with Wild Card entries joining the fray, all battling it out to be crowned the ultimate champion.
