TUDS Day 01 - Cincotrybe Hip Hop Championship @ Daniels Spectrum

We got you a dance choreo competition where all styles of dance are welcome, where Canadian choreographers are spotlighted, and where the most important thing is YOU, the audience. We set a stage for the wildest, most intricate, and illest movement performance imaginable under a microscopic 5 minutes. In less time than it takes you to post a selfie on Instagram each crew has to do this for you:

  • Convey story, theme or world.
  • Demonstrate a solid range of dance techniques.
  • Make you feel something unique

5 crews & teams will have a shot at a Money prize and a contract to perform on the award-wining theatrical stage known as TUDS Urban Dance Culture Festival.

Also happening this same time is the Skills x Soul Battles Qualifiers. You get to see dancers go all in a 2 vs 2 format to try to get the last two spots for the main stage battles on Sunday.
