You choose your own moves with your own choice of music. Minimum 2 crew members, maximum 5 minute long routine. The jury will judge choreography, musicality, technique, composition and overall charisma. Let the best crew win!    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Category is full when we reach 10 competing crews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About our battles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our <strong>Freestyle Battle<\/strong> all styles are welcome! You battle with your strongest style\/styles but might end up facing someone with a completely different style. The DJ can either play the music that suits you or challenges you. All in all, it is a recipe for a fun and diverse battle where anything could happen! This category is intended for experienced dancers of any style who have previous battle experience.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The battle for <strong>Freestyle<\/strong> and <strong>Rookie<\/strong> will start with a battle preselection. Dancers will meet 1 vs 1 with 2 solo each, 45 seconds. The judges select the best dancers from each category to go on to the next round. The number of dancers who gets picked depends on the number of dancers competing in the preselection. The battle continues with 1 vs 1 with 2 solos each in quarter finals, semifinals and finals until we have one winner! The judges are not just looking for technical skill (though that&#8217;s important too), they want to see your passion, your creativity, and how you vibe with the music.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:51px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rookie Battle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re new to the battle scene \u2013 challenge yourself and sign up for <strong>Rookie Battle<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Up North Battle is about growth, about pushing yourself to new limits, and sharing the dance floor with a community of dancers who&#8217;ve got your back. There&#8217;s no cash prize in Rookie Battle, it&#8217;s all about your growth and personal experience. However, a winner will be declared, taking the title and claiming 1st place!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You battle with your strongest style\/styles but might end up facing someone with a completely different style. The DJ can either play the music that suits you or challenges you. All in all, it is a recipe for a fun and diverse battle where anything could happen!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s not possible to compete in both Freestyle Battle and Rookie Battle. The judges are allowed to move you from the Rookie category to the Freestyle Battle after the preselection.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Breaking Seven to Smoke<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every round is a test of creativity, technique, and endurance, with each dancer trying to outdo the other with their best moves and most explosive energy. It&#8217;s all about who can smoke the others out and be the last winner standing.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eight breakers qualify from a cypher preselection to enter the Seven to Smoke. They line up, and the first two battle one round each. The winner earns a point and stays to face the next challenger; the loser goes to the back of the line. A breaker wins immediately by reaching seven points\u2014either consecutively or overall. If no one reaches seven before time runs out, the breaker with the most points at the end is declared the winner.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kids Takeover<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a non-competitive category where all kids get to take over the battle floor.
