Red bull is hosting a global, all-styles street dance competition across the country. Now, it’s time for the finals, and they’re bringing the party to New Orleans. Featuring a unique battle format, the Red Bull Dance Your Style series tests dancers’ freestyle skills. Featuring unpredictable soundtracks with everything from recent global hits to classic beats, Dance Your Style will have the crowd deciding who rules the dance floor.
The dance contest will sprawl across three days and multiple venues in the city of New Orleans. From hip hop to house, to locking to popping – dancers participating in Red Bull Dance Your Style will need to wow the crowd and ultimately win their vote. The competition will eventually end in a National Finals champion, who will represent the USA at the Red Bull Dance Your Style World Finals in Johannesburg, South Africa in December 2022.
