~~~All the info~~~
Block Party isn't about competition. It's not about prize money or battles. It's not about amazing performances or even dope music and cyphers. Block Party is about hugs. Block Party is about laughter. It's about Love, sweat and tears. It's about meeting and sharing with amazing, kind, diverse people from all over the world. Block Party is a family reunion for dancers of all genres from every corner of the globe.

We want to bring back the Block Parties, the jerry-rigged bandstands made of folding tables, sound systems stacked full of ghetto blasters and subs wired straight to the powerlines, Dj's cutting up tracks and playing them too loud, dancers getting down on floors made of duct tape and used cardboard boxes, streets blocked off, shirts taken off, and that raw vibe you get from rockin' outdoors with the sun at your back and concrete under your feet!
