SLOGAN/MOTTO: GIVING YOU THE BEST…….and this is what we want to offer our clients as a company.

WHY THE NAME OF THE EVENT:  The title of the event was inspired by the need to have both established , known and un-established dance groups showcase their best moves on one stage together, and the best way to accomplish this was by creating a BATTLE FIELD that is fair to all.

WHAT INSPIRED THE EVENT: The desire to have one great platform for dancers and a chance to UPLIFT, IDENTIFY AND PROMOTE their dance talent which has for a long time been taken for granted.

WHAT DO WE EXPECT: We expect to have a show never seen before in Kenya, a showdown of the best moves Kenya can offer. We expect a well choreographed dance event that will revolutionize the dance scene in Kenya.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CREWS WE EXPECT TO SEE:  Will have 30 dance crews on 1 stage, so we definitely in for a great experience.

             WHATS DIFFERENT WITH THIS EVENT AS COMPARED TO OTHER EVENTS:
1.     It’s a first of a kind Kenyan dance battle where all crews are treated equally.
2.     It’s an event where artists play the background and the dancers take the main attraction.
3.     Our event is not just focused on performance but hugely on GROWTH AND PROMOTION OF DANCE TALENT.


WE HAVE BEEN HAVING CONCERNS RAISED BY DANCERS ABOUT UNQUALIFIED JUDGES.SINCE IT’S A BATTLE WHO ARE THE JUDGES AND WHAT CONSIDERATIONS ARE THERE WHEN PICKING A JUDGE: we have qualified and experienced judges who have eight years experience in dancing , who are dancers themselves and have organized dance events before.

BRIEF DESCRIBE DJ SLIM: Dj Slim Sufficient is a humble, talented disc jockey, born and raised in Kenya. My passion for music started way back in school, slowly I found myself standing next to deejays and watching keenly as they played. Thou I had no idea what the deejay was doing on the decks, I just found myself connecting with the music. I decided to get into deejaying seriously and joined a dj academy (spinrejdjs academy) where I was under the capable hands of DjNevs, Dj Mo and DjSadic.  My target is to stand out in my art of deejaying, from scratching, beat matching, juggling, among others.     ALL I CAN SAY FOR NOW IS ONLY TIME WILL TELL, LET’S WATCH THIS SPACE.

          HAVE YOU DONE ANYOTHER EVENTS:  Yes! I have done countless events. From GET TO KNOW CHRIST CONCERT, CHRISTIAN FUN DAY, CLUB XPLORE,DANCE CONNECT, PROJECT UNITY CONCERT etc they are so, so, many. This is because apart from being a Dj I am an event planner and event manager.


WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE WITH THE DIRECTION THAT BATTLE OF THE DANCE CREWS PRESENTS:   I hope to make this an annual event that will celebrate dance talent in a major way in Kenya and to a point where corporate will come in and support dance talent.

WHO ARE YOU WORKING WITH:  Currently am working on this event with a team of 15 people who are dance fanatics and of great input to me. I believe in them and they believe in me so watch out for an event that will blow your minds.
