Now in its fourth year, Red Bull Beat Battle has grown immensely since its first edition in 2011 and now sports some famous alumni who have gone on to do great things in the South African dance world. Back in 2014 to find the top seven dance crews to go up against last year’s champions, this year the qualifiers head to 5 cities to find Mzansi’s best.

As a platform for urban dance styles like Pantsula, iSbhujwa, Krump, Hip Hop, and Breaking, the event has unearthed some amazing talent. Choreographer and Red Bull Beat Battle head-judge Somizi Mhlongo has had the opportunity to see that firsthand.

The platform and the springboard it offers dance crews has opened many doors for crews who have placed within the top 8 in the past, allowing dancers to sustain themselves using dance as a profession.


 


“I’m really looking forward to seeing what crews have to offer in 2014I.D.A. proved that not only Hip Hop can wow the crowds. I’m really hoping that a female dance crews will come out hard this year and be the first female group to snatch the title.”


 


The qualifying tour heads to Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Durban before heading to Pretoria and Johannesburg.
