DeFy - FLINTA* Openstyles Battle

DeFy – FLINTA Open Styles Dance Battle

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we gather, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. As we come together Naarm, we honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the original storytellers, dancers and custodians of this land. We commit to reconciliation, listening, and learning, recognising the ongoing fight for justice and sovereignty.

On November 16, DeFy brings a dance battle exclusively for FLINTA* dancers—Female, Lesbian, Intersex, Non-binary, Trans, and Agender. From 4:30 PM to 9:30 PM at Testing Grounds in Melbourne, dancers will compete in open styles, with performances judged by Trace, Artemiz/Apollo, and Wenny.

The winner takes home the prize, and 50% of the ticket fees from both competitors and spectators will be donated to one of three charities selected by the judges.

Everyone is welcome to attend and spectate, regardless of gender identity. Let’s come together to celebrate and uplift FLINTA+ street dancers, create new opportunities, and support meaningful social causes.
