London Battle will take over Somerset House’s iconic outdoor courtyard for a day packed with showcases, workshops, cyphers, live DJs and a big outdoor party. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of hip hop culture and with Breaking set to be the highlight of the 2024 Paris Olympics, Dance Umbrella and Somerset House are bringing together some of the most exciting talent from the four corners of London to go head-to head across a diverse range of styles. Curated by choreographer Jade Hackett, who has performed with some of the UK’s leading hip hop dance theatre companies including Boy Blue and ZooNation, you will help the judges to decide which part of our global city brings the best dance flavour – north, south, east or west. https://youtu.be/pIf0CtaQLxQ https://danceumbrella.co.uk/event/jade-hackett-london-battle/ https://www.instagram.com/thecapsule.ldn/ https://www.instagram.com/danceumbrella/ https://www.instagram.com/jade.hackett/ https://www.instagram.com/contentisqueenhq/
