About this event
A daylong celebration of contemporary street dance spanning hip-hop, afrobeats and breaking, moving between David Geffen Hall and the outdoor dance floor. Battles, cyphers and showcases run through the afternoon and evening, putting the vernacular forms born in New York's parks and blocks on the campus that usually houses opera and ballet.
Why we picked it
Breaking and afrobeats battles staged at Lincoln Center for free — a deliberate collision of street and institution worth watching.
