WEAREKREATIV PRESENTS:
APRIL BATTLE 1/4/2022
WEAREKREATIV's April Battle is back, and will be held on Saturday 1/4 at "The Studios", located in Espoo, Niittykumpu (address: Kappelikuja 6 D, 02200 Espoo). The doors will open at 14:45 and the first battle preselection will start at 15:30.
We would like to welcome you to join us for a Saturday filled with dancing! The night will include inspiring battles, laid-back cyphering and good music - that can also be enjoyed only as a spectator, if you wish! We will have two different Hip Hop 1 vs 1- battles, one for youth (people born in 2007 or later) and one for adults (people born in 2006 or earlier). We will battle from top 16 battles onwards in both categories. Starting from top 8 the battle categories will be united into one Hip Hop 2 vs 2 category, where the battles will proceed with pairs drawn from the hat!
We are also pleased to announce that in this year's edition of April Battle we will be having an international guest of honor, as the battles will be judged by the talented and respected professional; Cláudio Fernandes aka COMICS! You do not want to miss this!
Psst! In addition to judging, this internationally known, passionate dancer and dance teacher will be teaching one open Hip Hop freestyle workshop intended for intermediate and advanced level dancers on Sunday 2/4. Read more about COMICS and the workshop from here!
By attending the April Battles you will also be joining us in doing some good, because 40 % of the ticket sales will be donated to Yhteiset Lapsemme ry, a non-profit organization that promotes the well-being of multicultural children and the fulfillment of childen's rights.
The event is organized according to safer space guidelines and there is therefore absolutely no room for any form of discrimination, harassment, racism or bullying. Read more about our safer space policies here (in Finnish).
