Apply for Breakin' Convention 2013

Applications for Breakin' Convention 2013, our ten year anniversary, are now open!

Over our nine years since the first festival in 2004 when Breakin' Convention first started we've had 483 companies (or 4,938 individual dancers!) perform on our stage - and you could be one of the next!

Over those years we've showcased hundreds of companies, crews and dance innovators that have left audiences audiences astounded with their energy, skill, and originality from around the world… and around the corner!

Breakin' Convention has been fundamental in being the platform for the UK's up-and-coming talent, including some of today's biggest street dance stars: Flawless, Boy Blue Entertainment and Plague have all treaded the boards once, twice, or even more than three times!

This is your chance to be part of that legacy!

There are two steps to follow: Make sure you read our submission guidelines first (dowload them here) - we don't like to prescribe what gets selected for Breakin' Convention and what doesn't, but we are looking for work that pushes hip hop dance and theatre forward!

Next, get your submissions in by Friday 14 December!

Visit the Breakin' Convention Perform section for examples of past work and an application form!

We will be inviting companies to show their work to the Breakin’ Convention team on Saturday 26 January between 12pm and 6pm and Sunday 27 January 2013 between 10am and 6pm - so pencil these dates in and keep them free!
