USDD International Street Dance Festival

Photo archive — USDD Festival 2025, past edition. The photographs on this page show dancers, battles, performances and the community at the 2025 festival in Rochester. They celebrate street dance culture and are not previews of a future event. Gallery photographs illustrate the edition as a whole; they are not labelled as photographs of individual programme days.

USDD Street Dance Festival brings dance training, freestyle battles, performance and cultural exchange into a shared festival experience. It connects dancers and audiences through workshops, cyphers, theatre, music and conversations about street dance.

What happens at a street dance festival?

The programme can bring together workshops with dance practitioners, freestyle competitions, performances and social sessions. Workshops focus on learning and exchanging ideas; battles give dancers space to respond to music; showcases and theatre explore performance and storytelling. Each edition has its own artists, schedule, venues and entry conditions.

Who is the festival for?

Dancers, students, dance enthusiasts and audiences can explore the activities that match their interests. Experience requirements vary between workshops and competitions. Under-21 battles and other age-specific activities have separate eligibility rules. Confirm the age range, dance level and booking requirements for each activity.

When and where is the next USDD Festival?

Visit the current USDD events programme for confirmed festival announcements. Dates, locations, artists and tickets for a future edition must be confirmed separately. This page retains the Medway programme advertised for 29 May–1 June 2025 as an archive.

How can I perform, teach or partner with USDD?

Dancers, workshop leaders, venues and potential partners can send a festival enquiry with their experience, proposal and availability. Organisations can explore working with USDD on programming, performance and creative projects. Participation and fees are agreed for each edition.
