THE MISSION
Stackin' Stylez is a freestyle dance festival dedicated to preserving and promoting Boston's unique urban dance culture. We celebrate both our rich history and the evolving present. Integrating these forces invites every participant into a space of growth and transformation, while fostering in a vibrant new era for streetstyle dance in Boston.
THE PROBLEM
Honoring the OGs
Cultural exchange
Culture Shifters
Freestyle Concepts
OUR SOLUTION
Honoring the "OG's"
Hosting panels that feature Boston dance veterans. This creates a platform for Boston's original urban dancers to educate, share history and be celebrated for their contribution to the culture.
Bring in the Culture Shifters
Inviting talented international and out-ofstate dancers to bring their regional dance styles to Boston. These are often once in a lifetime collaborations.
Use a Concept-Based Format
Rather than dance in the styles they are best at, participants are randomly assigned 1 of 10 concepts to compete in at each round of the competition. This evens the playing field and creates a dynamic educational environment to for dancers to connect and exchange in.
Facilitate Connection and Cultural Exchange
Rather than stay isolated in hotels, participants utilize our housing program "StackBnB", where out-of-state guests are housed for free by local participants, in exchange for a skillshare. Participants exchange ideas and networks before they ever hit the dance floor.
