OpenStyle Battle provides a platform for dancers to showcase their freestyle skills and express themselves through improvisational dance. It is open to all A league Senior dancers, regardless of their usual dance style in DanceStar Classical, Open, or Urban Chapter competitions. 3 Judges from different dancing backgrounds will look for the best freestyle dancers able to adapt to any music or style.
Preselection Round
This year, we'll have a special preselection round. It will take place on Wednesday, May 21st, at Parentium Hall. Dancers can come at any moment during the announced period and show us their moves. They will have the option to select the style of music (but not specific songs) for their freestyles, so they can present themselves in the best way possible—45 seconds for each freestyler.
Judges will then choose 20 dancers for the final round.
Final Challenge
Taking place in the A League hall on Thursday, 22nd of May, get ready for a spectacular display of creativity and interpretation. The Openstyle Battle is not something you want to miss. The chosen 20 dancers from preselection will enter another final selection round, with the same rules as in preselection. The Judges will then choose the dancers for the battles. In the battles, dancers must adapt their skills to different music styles, which could range from Classical, Open, or Urban Chapters.
