BREAKING CREW

(min. 5 till max. 8 dancers)

SATURDAY, 13.06.2026

The «BREAKING CREW BATTLE» brings international teams from across the scene to Hamburg, with a sharp focus on hard, direct battles and genuine competition. The preselection kicks off on Saturday at Kulturpalast Harburg. Crews of five to eight dancers will face off in knockout rounds – showcasing everything from massive, choreographed group routines to powerful solo or duo moments within the crew. Nothing is handed to you here; every spot in the final must be earned.

SUNDAY, 14.06.2026

The action continues on Sunday at Große Freiheit 36. The qualifying crews will go head-to-head with the 2025 champions. In a round-robin-format, everyone battles everyone else to collect points from the jury – the two strongest teams will advance to the final. In this last battle, everything is on the line. No distractions, just pure performance and presence. First place takes home €10,000 in prize money.
