THE first weekend of July is off to a good start as dance lovers are invited to the Red Bull Dance Your Style Cape Town Qualifier taking center stage at the V&A Waterfront Amphitheatre this Sunday.
Dancers from across the Cape will battle it out this weekend and put forward their best foot for the audience votes in hopes of repping the country at the world final.
The Red Bull Dance Your Style is a global all style 1vs1 dance competition which was first held in 2018.
The DJ plays any well-known song of his or her choice and dancers then need to battle it out round for round and show their best moves to the song that is playing.
The twist to this is you, the audience, who decides who wins by voting red or blue for your favourite dancers.
The winner who kaps it uit with the beste moves will represent South Africa at the World final in Germany, battling more than 30 other nations.
The Organisers said of the event: “Red Bull Dance Your Style is a dance competition that brings people together to celebrate dance, music, and performance. It is a mixed, all-style one-on-one battle where dancers from any street style can participate.
"The competition focuses on recreating the social party atmosphere that all street dance styles are derived from. The competition is unique as it involves unpredictable music and crowd-voting. The DJ plays a crucial role as he curates the playlist with different genres of music to test the versatility of the dancers while adapting to the beat with their respective dance styles. The audience acts as the judging panel and determines the winner of a battle round by voting for the dancer with the best moves.”
It is all going down at the V&A Waterfront Amphitheatre this Sunday from 12pm to 5pm and entry is free.
