in a city whose dance styles are generally balkanized. The launch party brought guests from all over Chicago and beyond. They formed dance circles on a hardwood floor decorated with Red Bull logos, showcasing a wide range of styles to the backdrop of music DJed by Chicago greats Derrick Carter and RP Boo., a footworker who competed in Dance Your Style last year, was one of those guests.
Red Bull has built close relationships with prominent figures in Chicago’s street dance community to make sure that Dance Your Style represents as many local scenes as possible. The divides they face are about geography as well as aesthetic preferences. Hardiman thinks Dance Your Style helps create that sense of safety by bringing dancers from different styles into a shared space, where they can network and connect with each other.This year’s Dance Your Style final will take place at the Salt Shed. The group that oversees the space, 16 on Center, has a long-standing relationship with Red Bull and hosted the Chicago qualifiers for Dance Your Style at Thalia Hall last year.
