2023 Red Bull Dance Your Style Durban
July 8, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Who will be the next South African hero to represent Mzansi in Germany?
Following the huge success of the Red Bull Dance Your Style World final held at Monte Casino in December 2022, the world class street dance competition returns in search of the best street dancer to represent Mzansi at this year’s world final in Germany later this year.
What makes the competition unique is the format – the DJ and crowd play a crucial role. The DJ is tasked with curating a playlist of different music genres to see how versatile the dancers adapt their dance style to the beat. The audience plays the role of the judge and decides who walks away the winner by voting either red or blue.
South Africa‘s breaker Verb made the top 16 at the 2022 Dance Your Style World Final,
“Being part of Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final was a mind-blowing experience for me. When I started competing in Red Bull Dance Your Style my goal was being on the world stage, and I achieved that last year,” . said Verb
“The standard of dance was high, not just from the international dancers, but from the local guys as well. It also gave us an opportunity to showcase our unique, local flair as South Africans,” . he added
