Overview

This October, witness some of Australia’s best Breakers and All-Style dancers compete in a 2-V-2 battle, Bonnie & Clyde edition. Like the infamous outlaws, each crew is made up of a male and female duo, battling in either the Breaking or All style category.  Featuring a DJ, MC, and a panel of renowned judges, Hip Hop culture will come to life again at QPAC in another Cremorne Theatre takeover! Don’t miss out on an opportunity to experience an afternoon of intense head-to-head competition between some of the most talented dancers in Brisbane.

This Boomtown Battle event is part of a continued collaboration between QPAC and the renowned Elements Collective, an internationally recognised dance company that has been spearheading the Australian Hip Hop dance community since 2010. They've organised legendary touring productions, inspiring community workshops, and spectacular large-scale events, including national battles and workshops.

‘Boomtown' is an old Hip Hop name for Brisbane, and this exciting partnership promises to honour the legacy of Hip Hop culture’s past, whilst celebrating and supporting the next generation of this vibrant community.
