10 years of Freedom

What started from a kid daydreaming at his desk during school, grew into a place where dancers and hiphop lovers from all over the world meet each other for nine editions straight to compete, connect, and grow.

Nine years. Nine crowns. But the Final Crown still awaits.

So for the 10th year in a row, weโ€™re turning the city of Utrecht into an international hiphop hub. 4 days where dance, battles and music speak. Whether itโ€™s on the big stage, in the club, or outside on the streets: we come together and celebrate street dance culture and other hiphop artforms. This is for anyone who is passionate about dance, music and culture.

For Freedom City 10, weโ€™re bringing out all previous Champions for the last 3vs3 Open Styles Championship ever. Who will take the Final Crown?
