Bringing together some of the most exciting talent from London’s hip-hop dance scene, London Battle is a celebration of the capital’s globally renowned dance and music culture. As a DJ plays a selection of the UK’s finest beats, including some by Mikey J, witness dancers go head-to-head with a diverse range of styles to create a thrilling digital dance performance. Get up front, experience the vibe and feel the energy of London’s world class battling.
“It may be called a battle – and, granted, there is no shortage of displays of banterous bravado – but the environment is vibrant, warm, supportive and infectious: everything dance should be.”
