MERRY DANCE BATTLE NIGHT

Info

MERRY DANCE BATTLE Merrydance brings its first ever battle to Sigurd. Two days of workshops end here, with eight dancers on the floor, four invited, four straight from the workshop group and their extended community. The battle is open to all, come watch, cheer, take sides. Then stick around, because the club night that follows brings some genuinely exciting DJs to close it out. **Battle DJ** Toby Deedaran knows dance culture from the inside out, built on an international career as a choreographer and teacher. That background gives him a sharp ear for musical detail and an instinctive read on battle dynamics, exactly what it takes to drive the energy of a battle and deliver something dancers and crowd won't forget. **Host** Brice "Professor Lock" Johnson teaches Locking through his "Grooves Before Moves" classes at Dansehallerne, bringing the discipline and history of one of hip hop's foundational street dance styles to Copenhagen. Tonight he's on host duty for the battle. Then the club night takes over. **Vertigo** From turntablism at Zürich's Hip Hop and RnB parties to a sound that now moves through Afrobeats, Amapiano, RnB, baile funk, Latin rhythms and house, Vertigo's range is the point. He's brought that sound to floors from LA to Cape Town to Berlin, and he's no stranger to Sigurd's. **Kapela** Before Kapela was behind the decks, he was on the dancefloor, coming up through Paris's underground club scene. That instinct carried straight into his DJing, where soulful house meets Afro deep tech and Latin influences in sets built to read a room and hold it. He's the creator of "Soulful Sunday" at Djoon Club, and the reputation that came with it has taken him from intimate venues to festival stages. **Valentina** Bass driven and unpredictable, Valentina moves between dubby textures, sharp rhythms and unexpected turns. She's back on the Sigurd decks with a set built to keep the floor slightly off balance, in the best way. Sigurdsgade 39, 2200 · [time] · Free till 23:00 · 120 DKK after · 21+
