Event Details
Battle in the Bay is Hawke’s Bay’s only national Hip Hop dance competition. Founded in 2015, it began with a simple vision: to give dancers from smaller towns and regions the chance to experience a high-quality, supportive Hip Hop competition. What started as a local dream has grown into a kaupapa that now brings together hundreds of dancers from across Aotearoa every year.
Our aim has always been to empower dancers and communities. We do this by creating a weekend filled with competition, workshops, and connection—where every dancer leaves not only with memories, but also with new skills, knowledge, and inspiration to dream bigger and go further.
