Hip Hop & All Style Battles

The AEF Urban Dance Contest, a key meeting point for the hip-hop and street dance scene, returns for its sixth edition, more dynamic than ever. Marking this anniversary, the contest unfolds across two consecutive nights of heightened intensity, filled with spectacular dance battles, explosive rhythm, and unbridled talent. Dancer and choreographer Elias Hadjigeorgiou, alongside his longtime collaborator Periklis Petrakis, curate an event that brings together some of the most outstanding Greek and international figures in hip-hop and street dance.

In a remarkably short span of time, this event has succeeded in bringing street dance into the spotlight. “Layers of Streets” is more than a competition; it stands as a testament to the power of contemporary art forms born in the neighbourhoods – forms that engage in a vivid, authentic dialogue with both classical and modern modes of expression.

Each year, audiences fill Peiraios 260 – young people devoted to hip-hop and dance, performers, artists, and all those who linger long after the performances have ended, drawn into the electrified atmosphere of the battles.
