Vancouver Battlezone 2024
We are excited to present our 14th annual Street Dance Battle being held in New Westminster this year.
This event takes place on the unceded and un-surrendered land of the Halkomelem speaking people. We acknowledge the Indigenous people of past and present who have experienced a legacy of exploitation and subjugation under colonization. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the Peoples who have stewarded it throughout the generations. We are committed to creating mindfulness around our roles of the past, correcting stories around practices that have erased indigenous history and culture and honoring the truth.
Don’t miss out on this year’s event! We have special performances and an exciting program for our Finals day on June 15th. Also, do not miss our esteemed Judges’ workshops on June 16th. There are limited spaces.
Details below. We are offering early bird pricing to keep the price low so please take advantage of these!
