The Red Bull Beat Battle will return to Joburg on 21 November, 2015, at the Walter Sisulu Square, Soweto and will showcase some of the best dance crews the country has to offer by bringing back eight crews from the past four editions, which will vie for 'The Final Move' title.
Comeback crews compete in Red Bull Beat Battle

This year's event will once again feature a clash of various street-dance styles from Pantsula, Sbhujwa, B-Boying and everything in between. Fans will witness a showcase of exhilarating flair rooted in local urban culture translated into unique dance techniques and choreography.

The participating crews consist not only of past Red Bull Beat Battle champions including Freeze Frame, Artistic Intelligence, The Prophelaz and The Reptilez but also feature specialists in some of the country's most indigenous dance culture in V.I.N.T.A.G.E Cru, Soulistic Fusion Trio, Ninja Turtles and Via Volcano.

Next-level performances

The contenders have pushed themselves to deliver next-level performances that will prove to audiences that as much as street dance is cultivated in the streets, it is a step in the right direction to pursuing a professional career in dance.

Event judge and South African B-Boy, Gerald Witbooi, aka Vouks Nojokes, is excited to see what lies ahead for the event in this format: "This year we are looking for performances that go beyond just good footwork, but rather storytelling through the power of dance. I'm confident that with the talent that abounds in the selected crews they'll come back harder to finish what they started," concluded Vouks.

Tickets for the event are R100 at Computicket.
