Enter the Tsone

Enter the Tsone is an international street and club dance festival organized by Tsone Helsinki.

Part of the program is a hiphop battle and anyone can join the cypher preselections. 16 dancers will go through to the next round, where the dancers will face each other in 1 vs. 1 battles. The top 8 dancers will compete in a 7 to smoke format. The battle will be judged by Marika Peura, Sophie May from Martinique, and Tatiana Desardouin from Haiti/Switzerland.

There will also be an audition cypher, that anyone can participate. 2-4 dancers will be selected to participate in a creative process, where the dancers will rehearse and perform a new piece during the event!

We will see multiple shorter performances and the crowd gets to vote for their favorites. And of course, there is going to be time for everyone to dance freely. At the end of the evening the dance floor turns into an “after party” with local deejays.
