If auditioning for choreo teams AND freestyle, you need to attend both the choreographer audition suited for your age AND the freestyle audition. You need to pay only ONE audition fee.
IN-PERSON AUDITION
Please arrive at least 30 mins before the start of the audition to check in and pay your fee in cash. If you registered, then we will have that information, however, you still need to check in. All street styles will audition at the same age time frame.
Auditions are workshop style, meaning that you will be taught a combination then asked to perform it in a smaller group. You do not need to prepare anything in advance.
Please wear comfortable clothing to dance in and clean indoor suitable shoes
The Popping/Battle audition will be done in battle format so you will be asked to free-style to a variety of music. This is a GREAT way to show off and/or improve your skills. See bellow for more info.
Even if you aren't sure, give it a try!

The Canadians not only did well, but impressed the European officials in the process! We are hoping to return to this competition with both a BC and ON team in Macedonia this year!
*THIS IDO DISCIPLINE has traditionally been held in conjunction with the IDO Disco Show Championships - which drew more disco than hip hop dancers.
THIS YEAR IT WILL BE HELD IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE HIP HOP CHAMPIONSHIPS for the first time!

StreetDance Show Examples
What's The Difference?
The Hip Hop Championships is straight up Hip Hop, Electric Boogie (Popping) .
Everything is done in battle format with organizers music except for the formations (large group).
The Street Dance Show uses Hip Hop to tell a story. Dancers use their own music for all routines.
Both competitions use elimination rounds and the winners are awarded on the podium.
