This year’s Brussel Danst Dance Battles feature three categories: house, krump, and hip hop, all under the theme of GROOVE. 
Through groove, we share, inspire and celebrate. It transforms urban spaces into living stages, where everyone contributes to collective harmony while asserting their own identity. Groove isn't just a movement - it's an invitation to connect, resist and vibrate together. 

Special Dance Guests:
This year Timiss collaborated with the big Dutch battle Freedom City Utrecht, with the winners of this battle automatically becoming guests at the BDDB.

• Hip-hop: Cleo and Ibere
• House: Abir and Rachad
• Krump: Wild konkrete and Kid Brui5er

Judges:

• Hendrickx specialises in urban dance - hip hop, krump, dancehall, kuduro, afrohouse - and is the embodiment of krump in Belgium, taking part in international competitions. At the age of 29, she founded her own collectives (Drickx Konzi, Ruthless etc.), created original pieces such as To Be a Slave and Blind, and set her sights on promoting women's krump and directing audiovisual projects.
• Lyndsay Badness Trained in urban techniques - lock, house, break, hiphop - she quickly specialised in newstyle and made a name for herself in the world of dance competitions, notably with the formation of her Badness Crew in 2013. Winner of focus on the groove, she's one of those who brings us a new vibe and a new way of interpreting dance.
• Kazane is a Japanese dancer who specialises in house dance and has won international acclaim. She started out at a very young age, and has gone on to shine in a number of prestigious battles, including Juste Debout and Dance Alive Hero's.
