| Dance for young audience
In an urban dance battle, dancers compete against each other, with the audience or a jury deciding the winner. Originally, these battles arose from gang rivalries that were settled through dance rather than violence. Battles are unpredictable: The music, floor, space and opponents are not fixed. The challenge lies in reacting spontaneously and giving your all. But it's about more than winning – it's about self-image, potential, self-doubt, originality and dealing with pressure and defeat.
Tie Break explores how dance battles serve as a metaphor for personal struggles. Every day we wrestle with fears, self-demands and acceptance. How can these challenges be overcome? When does the battle become a moment of liberation, where you are both with yourself and part of the crew?
