Hip Hop Battle & All Styles Battle

The AEF Urban Dance Contest, a staple of the Athens Epidaurus Festival for the past four years and a key meeting point for the hip-hop and street dance scene returns for its fifth edition and is more dynamic than ever! This year’s contest celebrates its anniversary with even more electrifying dance showdowns and two consecutive nights full of energy, rhythm, and pure talent. Dancer and choreographer Elias Hadjigeorgiou, alongside his longtime collaborator Periklis Petrakis, will curate the event, featuring the finest Greek and international hip-hop and street dancers. Competitors will go head-to-head in two categories—the classic 1vs1 Hip Hop Battle and the explosive 2vs2 All Styles Battle—vying for the championship title and significant cash prizes. Elevating the competition to new heights, an esteemed panel of judges, featuring top professionals from Greece and abroad, will not only evaluate the battles but also take the stage for exclusive Judges Showcases. SifuVersus returns as host, bringing his exuberant energy, while the rising talent DJ Greetana (spinning for the Hip Hop Battles) and the experienced and dynamic DJ Amaze Me (taking charge of the All Styles Battles) will keep the vibes high throughout the event. And when the battles end, the celebration continues—at the legendary after-battle parties, where the dance never stops. Get your dancing shoes ready for a milestone edition packed with rhythm, passion, and the pure essence of dance!
