Call Them Out - street dance competitions Arts et culture
Call Them Out is a series of 3 street dance competitions (2 vs. 2) featuring krump, hip hop, break, popping and freestyle battles. Each team must be made up of 2 dancers at least 7 years apart, to form an intergenerational team. This is a "call out" format in which teams choose who they want to compete against in a "freestyle" duel.
