Urban Dansdagen is a three-day dance festival celebrating urban dance in all its forms. It connects the raw energy of the streets with the professional theater stage, featuring top-tier battles, performances, workshops, and discussions with artists from around the world.

That depends on the workshop. For Streetstyles 101, no dance experience is required whatsoever. These workshops are open to everyone, whether you're 10 or 80 years old. Just show up and have fun! For other workshops, some prior dance experience is recommended. We suggest checking the details of each individual workshop to find the best fit for your level.
