Street dancers from across the country will be coming to Chicago next weekend to face off at the Ramova Theater in Bridgeport.
The recently-remodeled landmark theatre which reopened at the turn of the year following a huge celebrity back revamp, is hosting the Red Bull Dance Your Style North USA Qualifier whereby dancers compete by improvising street dance moves in their own personal style to surprise music selections.
Taking place on Saturday, April 20th, the bracket-style tournament will put 16 dancers against each other attempting to win over the crowd and secure a spot at the National Final.
With no panel of judges, no pre-planned choreography, and no pre-chosen music, Red Bull Dance Your Style events ensure raw talent shines through and dancers advance to the next round based on how the audience reacts.
“After regional qualifiers on April 20th in Chicago, dancers take center stage and showcase the unique styles and iconic dances born out of their city, battling for a chance to compete at the National Final,” said an official release sent to Secret Chicago.
“From the captivating footwork of Memphis Jookin to the raw intensity of krumping and everything in between, Red Bull Dance Your Style is more than a competition; it’s a celebration of local dance scenes and diverse talents across the country.”
Four participating dancers named in the release are Nero The Professor, Katana, ILLmani, and Nubian NeNe.
Tickets cost $13 to attend and can be purchased here.
