Red Bull Dance Your Style is a unique one-on-one battle format where dancers are challenged with unpredictable music hits from funk, pop, rock, rap, old school classics and more. The competitors must conquer the audience who are ultimately deciding who will rule the dance floor. The World Final in South Africa will crown and celebrate the best dancers on the planet and will be broadcast live worldwide on TikTok.
“I'm looking forward to battling another krumper so I to compare our different interpretations of this genre. I think the best way to prepare for this is by staying calm and experience the moments on stage because once both dancers are enjoying the process, we will have an exchange through music and movement and that makes it all worthwhile.” said Red Bull Dance Your Style World Finalist, Verb from South Africa.
Joining him as the second South African finalist to be in the World Final, S B “I feel awesome, because I am just focused on having fun and adapting to the energy of the battle, I am not focusing on my opponents in any way - I will allow the music and vibe of the battle to lead my movement. I’m happy that sbujwa dance style and culture that comes from Soweto will finally be experienced by the world and I am very grateful to be that first Sbujwa dancer that has this opportunity to push it forward in this way.”
