After this year's final in Los Angeles, the Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final 2026 will take place on October 24 at the Hallenstadion Zurich. Dancers from all over the world will compete in a unique 1 vs 1 street dance battle format. The audience decides who wins the global title. The whole thing is live, raw and without a jury.
The Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final is more than just a dance competition. It's a cultural event that connects local scenes with international reach. Since the first global final in 2019, the format has established itself as a permanent fixture in the urban dance calendar. In 2026, the final will take place in Switzerland for the first time. More precisely: in the Hallenstadion Zurich, the country's largest indoor arena.
The best dancers who have previously prevailed in national qualifiers will travel to Zurich to compete for the world championship title. The rules remain minimalist: no prescribed dance style, no jury - the audience decides.
Whether hip-hop, popping, locking, krumping or house - what counts at Red Bull Dance Your Style is the ability to engage with changing music. No prepared choreography, the DJ's beat is unpredictable. This spontaneity demands creativity, musicality and stage presence.
The special feature: There is no jury. Instead, the audience votes using LED ribbons. They either hold it up in the air, glowing red or blue, with each color representing a particular dancer. In this way, the feeling for the audience becomes the focus of the performance. The battles not only reflect technical skill, but also authenticity.
Red Bull Media House is producing the final from multiple camera angles and with backstage access. It will also be reported in real time via TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. In this way, the format reaches a young, globally networked target group and strengthens street dance as a worldwide cultural phenomenon.
However, experiencing the Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final 2026 live in the audience is even more impressive. Tickets for the event are already on sale.
