B-Side #5

B-SIDE is a five-part event dedicated to thinking, training, and researching in street dance.

‘B-Side’, in Hip-Hop terms, refers to the backside of a vinyl record. Many have found lost gems, remixes, live cuts as well as limited editions! B-SIDE provides a stimulating platform that facilitates greater cultural exchange, and more focused exploration and insight into choreographic development for street dance, overall.

B-Side is an initiative of company Ebnflōh | Alexandra ‘Spicey’ Landé  since 2019.
The fifth edition of B-Side takes place from June 10 to 21, 2024 @ Agora de la danse.
