This event is a game-changer for many dancers, propelling them into the spotlight of their careers. Just look at past winners like Ben P Wichert, now the artistic director of the Hamburg HipHop Academy, or Les Twins, who skyrocketed to global fame touring with Beyoncé after their 2011 victory.

Fulfilling the circle - the dancers and judges are finaly brought back from the canceled event in 2020.
