ANX Kpop Battles: Dance & Destroy!

Solo dancers, it’s time to take the ultimate challenge and face off head-to-head! One-up your competition on the dance floor and freestyle your way to first place! The Kpop Battles will take place on Saturday, July 6th, 2019.

Guidelines:

  • AX badge required
  • Signing up does not guarantee a spot
  • This competition is similar to the “Kpop Random Dance Challenge.”  Songs are selected at random. See below list of songs that will be randomly played in rotation.
  • Some knowledge of Kpop dance-covers preferred but not required. Freestyling is allowed but helps if you’re aware of the possible choices randomly selected.

Competition:

  • Solo only event! (no team signups)
  • 2 solo dancers will be randomly selected to go head-to-head
  • Two individuals will be randomly selected to dance battle head-to-head.
  • Both dancers will reach into a bag and pick a random song, and both dancers must agree on one of their draws. If they can’t decide, we have that covered too!
  • Dancers will have 120 seconds to show off their moves!
  • Judges will determine the winners of each pairing match-up. Single-elimination (if there is time, double-elims) until there’s only one champion left standing!
