Zuschauende können einfach vorbei kommen und es gibt eine Abendkasse von 8€. Unsere Türen öffnen von 15:30 Uhr bis circa 20:00 Uhr. Es kann natürlich passieren, dass der Saal zu voll ist - deshalb kommt am besten früh.

Zum Battle:
OUTBOX ME ist KEIN klassisches experimental Battle. Es ist ein Mix-Style Battle, bei dem JEDER Stil willkommen ist.
Das beschränkt sich nicht nur auf Urban Styles. Wir wollen raus aus dem Gewohnten, eintauchen in eine neue inspirierende Fusion aller Tanzarten.
Es geht nicht zwingend darum freaky oder provokant zu sein, sondern einfach seinen eigenen individuellen Stil zu präsentieren.
Jazz, Modern, Swing, Capoeira, HipHop, Krump, House, Breakdance .... und alles dazwischen- Wir feiern unsere Leidenschaft für Bewegung und Musik.
OBM ist einzigartig in seiner Form- Es kombiniert den urbanen Battlecharakter und die zeitgenössische Kontaktimprovisation und schafft somit eine sehr besondere Art der Herausforderung für Tänzer und einen Genuss für alle Zuschauer.
