Flavourama Streetdance Festival
In recent years, an active modern street dance scene has developed in the baroque town of Salzburg. Hundreds of hip-hop and house dancers display their skills at the Flavourama battle.
With participants from 30 nations and more than 3,000 visitors, Flavourama is one of the biggest dance-battle events in Europe. Dancers come to Salzburg to compete in the categories hip-hop and house. In these dance-battles, a DJ sets the music and the participants have to improvise or – in technical terms – freestyle to it. They are judged by a jury of three, who then choose the winners in round called sudden death. All-round offer (also for amateurs)
In addition to exciting direct comparisons, the festival offers a comprehensive fringe programme. Workshops, performances, talks and live bands make this dance style accessible to visitors who are not familiar with the hip-hop scene. Particularly interactive are the walking dance classes, which take place in Hallein this year. Those interested walk through the city and learn a choreography step by step.
