Your partner and you will be given a sticker with the same number to throw down in the cyphers. After an hour and a half the judges will determine the top 16 couples who will move on to the 2v2 battles.

Battles:
This year we have decided to add a Freestyle Battle to our event! The top styles culture has notoriously grown in Barcelona and all around Spain during the last year or so, and we will like to contribute by providing a platform for this styles! But as usual, we are giving it our own little twist by introducing a different concept, SOULEBRITY!
What is SOULebrity? SOULebrity is a format/concept created in 2003 by CoFlo (Circle of Fire, SoulShifters, Sour Patch Crew), along with his dance collective at the time, Flo-Ology, based out of the Bay Area, CA, USA.
Freestylers (bboys, lockers, housers, krumpers, waackers, even flamenco dancers) who wish to compete must sign up on the event page previous to the day of the competition. There will be maximum of 30 spots available, so please don't forget to sign up! The day of the event you must confirm your attendance at the registration table no later that 4:30pm. There you will receive a sticker with a number and a letter, from A to C, which will indicate that cypher you are in. There will be a total of 10 freestylers per cypher. Each judge will spend 20 minutes per cypher and rotate accordingly. After an hour of cyphers, the judges will each pick their 3 favorite dancers having a total of a top 9 in the Final Cypher. The 9 freestylers along the 3 judges will dance for 50 minutes in the final cypher. After the 50 minutes the judges will each pick a winner! This means there's a possibility of up to 3 winners depending on the judges decision! For those dancers who do not wish to compete you can still wreck shop in other cyphers and not have to sit around waiting to enjoy the music!
