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 largest battle events in Europe. The dancers come to Salzburg to compete in the categories of Hip Hop and House. In these battles, a DJ plays the music, and the participants must improvise or – in technical terms – "freestyle." They are judged by a three-member jury, which selects the respective winners using the sudden death method. Comprehensive offerings (also for novices)
The festival, held annually in late summer, offers an extensive supporting program alongside exciting head-to-head competitions. Workshops, performances, talks, and live bands make this dance style also accessible to those visitors who are not familiar with the Hip Hop scene.
