Before the highly-anticipated Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final, dancers will compete in regional qualifiers and open auditions, earning their spot at the National Final in San Francisco on August 23. Hosted by celebrity choreographer, Charm La Donna, who recently directed this year’s record-breaking halftime performance, the National Final will set the stage for top competitors from across the country as they battle for the chance to represent the U.S. on the biggest freestyle dance stage in the world.
“Growing up in LA, I was inspired by all forms of dance–music and dance are in the DNA of LA culture,” says Charm. “Now dancers from around the world will battle it out in the place that has influenced movement across generations. Having the Red Bull Dance Your Style’s World Final here means celebrating and respecting LA’s contributions to dance on a global stage. I am beyond excited to welcome the world’s best freestyle dancers to LA.”
Red Bull Dance Your Style will host open qualifiers across the U.S. including an open audition in Los Angeles, in partnership with celebrated dancer and choreographer, Storm DeBarge, and Black on The Block, celebrating the city’s unrivaled dance community and offering dancers of all backgrounds the opportunity to battle their way onto the main stage.
As part of its mission to elevate and expand dance culture access, Red Bull Dance Your Style will host a U.S. circuit with nineteen city and open qualifiers. These city and open qualifiers serve as preliminary community battles that ladder into the official regional stops, opening up the competition to dancers of all backgrounds, experience levels, and styles. Those who rise to the top in the city qualifiers will move on to the high-energy, one-on-one regional battles in Tampa, Kansas City, Boston, and Phoenix.
The U.S. season will reach its peak at the Red Bull Dance Your Style National Final in San Francisco on August 23, where regional champions, runner-ups, and wildcard dancers will battle for the U.S. championship title. The stakes are higher than ever, as the winner will advance to the 2025 Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final in Los Angeles, competing against the world’s top dancers for the title of global champion.

“Winning a Red Bull Dance Your Style battle isn’t just about having the best moves – it’s about connecting with the crowd, commanding the music, and showing what makes you unique,” says David “The Crown” Salter Jr., past Red Bull Dance Your Style champion. “That’s why this competition is so special. And now, with the World Final happening here in the U.S., dancers from around the world will get to experience that energy on a whole new level.”
Showcasing the endless styles of street dance on one shared stage, Red Bull Dance Your Style brings the underground freestyle scene into the international spotlight and amplifies the culture for the world to witness and celebrate the raw artistry. The bracket-style competition challenges dancers to face off in one-on-one battles, adapting their moves to surprise music selections and relying on their freestyle skills to win over the crowd. Unlike traditional dance competitions, the audience decides who moves forward – adding an unpredictable and high-energy element to every battle.
“Freestyle dance is constantly evolving, and Red Bull Dance Your Style is at the forefront of that movement,” said Marlee Hightower, professional dancer and past competitor. “This competition brings together the best of the best, and every battle tells a story. It’s about more than just technique – it’s about heart, musicality, and owning your moment. That’s what makes it so powerful.”
