[02] Why BYOU

The event built for your style.

BYOU stands for Be You. No dress code, no fixed format. Just a floor where you show who you are, learn from dancers you look up to and meet people who go just as hard as you do.

From your first workshop to the battle final, every part of the weekend is made to grow the dance scene in and around Ede.
