Moving according to the beat, freestyle dancers improvise on the spot to create a flow of dance moves that vary in feel and intensity. Each time, their impromptu moves spark off a new rhythm, enticing the audience with their everchanging and unpredictable interpretation of the music. In that sense, freestyle is not dissimilar to polishing a piece of artwork, where dancers emote unreservedly their first thoughts and feelings the moment when the music starts playing.

Hysan has always been committed to promoting local sports and street pop culture in Hong Kong, with the aim of popularising local street-dancing culture and other performing arts. To enhance public awareness and appreciation, Hysan is teaming up with the well-known local breakdancing team, Good Job Brother, to organise a one-on-one freestyle battle, with support from energy drinks company Monster Energy!

The stage for the freestyle battle has been set at the Urban Park at Hysan Place, a place designed to integrate elements of trending culture, art, and sports. Departing from the format of traditional competitions, this all-style battle is not limited to breakdancing. It requires contestants to demonstrate their creativity and spontaneity as music tracks with various rhythms are played randomly, judged by an experienced panel of world championship adjudicators. With incredible performances from local dance teams, DJs, and rappers, coupled with energy drinks provided by Monster Energy, this battle will undoubtedly inject vitality and vibrancy into this brand-new landmark in Hong Kong. Experience the charm and fun of local sports and street pop culture for free! We hope to see you there!
