About this Event
Come join Lowelyfe: Turf Wars, a live-action dance battle anime inspired by street/club dance battle culture, pro wrestling theatrics, anime storytelling, and fighting video game aesthetics.
Featuring NYC street and club dancers, live music, characters, rivalries, and an audience that becomes part of the action, Turf Wars transforms the dance battle into an ongoing story where every confrontation has consequences.
For those in the back, this isn’t your traditional dance battle!

Agenda
🕑: 06:45 PM - 07:45 PM
$200'N'20 1v1 All Styles Tournament
Info: Dancers, you ready to win $200 in 20 minutes? 200’n’20 is one of the fastest 1-v-1 open styles dance tournaments you’ll experience.
It starts with a 30-minute cypher, where three dancers will be selected to join three invited guests in the tournament bracket.
From there, six dancers enter the quarterfinals for three 1-v-1 battles, with each dancer getting one 1-minute round. The three winners advance, but the audience gets involved next: they’ll choose their favorite of the three semifinalists. That dancer will then select a fourth competitor from the eliminated pool—or even a volunteer from the audience who wants to shoot their shot.
The final four battle 1-v-1 in the semifinals, one 1-minute round each. Then the final two dancers go two 1-minute rounds to decide who walks away with $200 cash.
Fast bracket. Open styles. Audience involvement. One winner. Let's get it!
