THE CONCEPT

Every 3 months when the season change, there is an edition of "The Kulture of Hype & Hope". With the season we change the theme of the event. There are always 1vs1 Battles in the style HipHop and Break as well as 1 additional battle per season:

Fall = Wind: Locking
Winter = Water: House
Spring = Earth: Popping
Summer = Fire: Krump

1. The Battle (1vs1 battles)
2. Lecture, Q&A Judges
3. The Hypest Cypher
4. (Urban) Theater Showcase
5. Masterclasses by Judges

KULTURE RANKING:

There will be a point system of your wins throughout every edition of the Kulture of Hype&Hope. If you go through the preselection, you get a point. If you win a battle, you get a point. The winners of each style will have a total of five Kulture pionts after one edition. The winner of The Hypest Cypher will gain three Kulture points. The Kulture Points you win in another edition are added to your total. After four editions the eight dancers with the most points it their category are qualified for the 7-to-smoke battles during the Gold edition of The Kulture of Hype&Hope. There will be five 7-to-smoke battles with a big price waiting for the winner in the end. One for Hiphop, one for Break and one All style 7-to-smoke for the four seasonal top ranked dancers combined. Its going to be a strong competitive race till the end of the year.

(URBAN) THEATER SHOWCASE:

We are seeing a development in the possibilities of our culture and art form which we would like to share with our visitors. The Kulture of Hype & Hope will provide its dancers with showcases of urban theater, giving them insights to future possibilities in this dance form.

THE HYPEST CYPHER:

We created the Hypest cypher to focus dance back to where it all started. The jam sessions in the cyphers. The Hypest cypher is a concept to keep the jam session alive. The one of all dancers who is the Hypest of all cyphers during that timespan will be the Winner of The Hypest cypher. There will be a mystery judge during the day, so keep that cypher alive!
