Returning for a second triumphant year, London Battle takes over Somerset House’s iconic open-air courtyard with a day of dance and breaking showcases, workshops, live DJs and a big outdoor party, all culminating in a head-to-head dance battle between the four corners of London.  

Celebrating breaking’s inaugural appearance at the Paris Olympic Games in 2024, Somerset House and Dance Umbrella are bringing together some of the most exciting talent from the four corners of London to go head-to-head across a diverse range of styles.     

Curated by choreographer Jade Hackett, who has performed with some of the UK’s leading hip hop dance theatre companies, including Boy Blue and ZooNation, you’ll be the judge, deciding which neighbourhood of our global city brings the best dance flavour on the day. Who will be crowned champion? Will it be north, south, east or west London that takes the honours?  

Teams to be announced.
