Brace yourself for Red Bulll Dance Your Style Finals folks! After high-energy qualifiers across five cities, South Africa’s Top 16 dancers are set to battle it out at Century City Square in a one-of-a-kind, crowd-powered showdown. No judges. No panels. Just pure connection, rhythm, and self-expression.
South African dance has already paved the path – and the world is watching. From the streets of Soweto to stages in Paris, New York, and Tokyo, homegrown styles like Amapiano, Pantsula, and Gqom have taken the world by storm.
Now, South Africa’s next generation of dancers will showcase their talent on the global stage. Cultural tastemakers like Robot Boii, Kamo Mphela, and WandaBlaqz have proven that our culture doesn’t just compete — it leads.
