club concept
For the last years, the dancers in POPPING, LOCKING and BREAKING has gone together in a 3 vs 3 battle. This year, we want to take you into the ultimate All-That-Funk experience where the dancers in the respective style will battle 1 vs 1.
The HIP HOP and HOUSE battles will keep their 1 vs 1 format, but will now come to it’s rightful place, in the club.
The WAACKING has been a great part of Streetstar over the past and will surely bring glamour and elegance this year, but now also in a 1 vs 1 format.
The Dancehall scene in Sweden and all over the world has blown up significantly over the last couple of years. Streetstar DANCEHALL 3 vs 3 is one of the main events to deliver this high energised culture and will keep it’s format from the last year.

The qualification cypher will have a time limit of 20-30 minutes. The four (4) dancers that wants it the most + sets the level will be picked from the qualification cypher to compete in an intense 3-to-smoke call-out battle, without time restrictions.
The amount of rounds is up to the judge to decide in the moment.
