WHAT HAPPENS WHEN DANCERS
HAVE TIME TO GO DEEP?
10–12 July 2026
La Place, Paris
3Â DAYS
3Â CATEGORIES
1 EXPERIENCEÂ YOU WON'T FORGET
THIS IS NOT A REGULAR BATTLE
You have probably been to events where the rounds are short, the energy is rushed, and the dancers barely have time to say anything before the next one starts.
We built the BTM Experience to fix that.
Our format gives dancers the time to go deep. Longer rounds. More space to build a narrative. Room to surprise you, even if you think you already know their style.
The result? You don’t just watch a performance. You witness a conversation. Two artists pushing each other to reveal something they have never shown before.
And you are not behind a barrier. You are right there. Close enough to feel it.
Â
Sold out in 2023. Sold out in 2024. Sold out in 2025.
This is the 5th Edition, and it is our biggest yet.
Maybe you have watched battles online and thought, “I wish I could have been there.” Maybe you have been to events and left feeling like something was missing, like you saw the surface but never got close enough to feel the depth.
Or maybe you have never been to a freestyle event at all, and you are curious what it actually feels like when the music, the crowd, and the dancer are all locked in together.
This weekend is for all of you
3 DAYS. 3 CHAPTERS. 1 STORY.
If you only come one day, you will miss the journey
Friday: The Discovery
Dancers from across Europe and beyond step up to defend their style. This is where it starts. Raw energy, high stakes, and the hunger to qualify.
The Top 4 earn their place for tomorrow.
What you see: Pre-selections, Top 16 battles in Hip Hop and All-Style, and the first taste of what this weekend is about.
Saturday: The Exchange
This is the BTM signature format. The Top 4 Qualifiers face the Top 4 Invited Guests.
But this is not a clash. It is a merging of generations.
We moved away from short rounds. We give the dancers extended time and more rounds so the conversation can develop. You see layers, shifts, surprises. You see dancers respond to each other in real time, going deeper with every exchange.
What you see: High-level exchanges between the best qualifiers and world-class guest artists. The kind of battles that people talk about for years.
Sunday: The Masterpiece
Everything comes together.
The day opens with our Choreography Competition, one of the three pillars of the BTM Experience weekend. Teams perform a structured piece, then instantly strip it back to a solo. You see every layer of their creativity, the precision of the group and the rawness of the individual, side by side.
Then the Grand Finals begin. All-Style. Hip Hop. The culmination of the entire weekend.
And when the last battle ends, we don’t go home. We celebrate together at the Official Afterparty.
THREE CATEGORIES. THREE ATMOSPHERES.
ONE STAGE.
 Hip Hop
The classic. Extended rounds that let the dancers build real narratives. Every exchange is a conversation, not a crash. You see the depth of their vocabulary, their musicality, their character. This is hip hop the way it is meant to be experienced.
All-Style
We turn the venue into a club. The DJ plays, the crowd vibes, and right in front of you, two dancers have an intense, deep exchange. It is like being at a great party where the best dancers in the room happen to be going at it right in the centre. The energy never drops.
Choreography
This is where artistry meets structure. Teams perform a crafted piece, layered with intention and storytelling. Then they strip it back to a solo, and you see the individual behind the choreography. It is raw, it is personal, and it reveals a side of each dancer you would never see in a freestyle battle. This category completes the full picture of what dance can be.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE BATTLE
At most events, the battle ends and the crowd disperses. At BTM, we break the wall.
After the battles, we pass the mic.
Imagine watching a dancer do something you have never seen before. Something that made the whole room lose it. And then, five minutes later, you are standing next to them, and they are telling you exactly what was going through their mind. How they heard that one note in the music and decided to change everything.
That moment is not available on YouTube. It only happens in the room.
This is not a meet-and-greet. It is part of the experience. The line between audience and artist disappears, and you become part of the conversation.
This is what people remember most.
