Spectacular battles in different categories, never so close to the audience
Dancer

Dear visitors, participants, staff and friends of the Ruhrpottbattle!

We – the organising team of the Ruhrpottbattle – have to announce regretfully that this year’s battle planned for 6th November 2021 has to be cancelled due to the coronvavirus pandemic.

For more than 20 years the best of the international urban dance scene meet for the Ruhrpottbattle at the Flottmann Hallen in Herne. Spectacular battles in the categories Popping (1 vs 1), Hip Hop (1 vs 1), Krump (1 vs 1) and B-Boying (2 vs 2) – closer to the audience than anywhere else!

We hope that we can continue to admire you and your art on the various web platforms and that you will continue to bring forward Hip Hop, Popping, Krump & B-Boying despite cancelled battles and do what you love to do – DANCE!

Greetings to all of you from Herne!

Take care of yourselves and your loved ones and stay safe!

Yours, the Ruhrpottbattle team
