Join moCa Cleveland and 10K Movement for an afternoon of street dance, creativity, and family fun inspired by moCa’s current exhibitions. Experience live performances, learn about the cultural roots of hip hop styles, and take part in the energy, whether you dance in the circle, cheer from the sidelines, or join in simple movement prompts.

Each round’s challenge, inspired by moCa’s current exhibitions, pushes dancers to explore ideas like footwork only, lines and shapes, or level changes. As partners respond and feed off each other’s energy, audiences get a front-row, intimate look at the creativity, improvisation, and community spirit that define battle culture. 

Alongside the battles, audiences will learn about the history and significance of street dance, cheer for their favorites, and even have a chance to step into the circle themselves. The afternoon closes with an open freestyle jam where everyone is invited to move together.

Whether you’re a dancer or just curious, come discover how battle culture transforms improvisation into contemporary art.
