Wake Up Street Session (Hip-Hop battle dance in Mauritius)




Wake Up Session

Wake Up Session is a street dance event created in 2010 who introduced a regular battle dance platform in Mauritius, with over 50 events organized until now. The events are always free for public and all artists and staff has always volunteered to help maintain this platform as often as possible.
Several categories of dance battles are proposed on Wake Up Session:
  1. BBoying - Breakdance
  2. Debout – All Style Hip Hop dance
  3. Dancehall Battle
  4. Afro Battle
The contest occurs as a tournament (Qualification- ¼ - Semi - Final) in 1vs1, 2vs2 or dance crews vs dance crews. 
 
Since 2011, Wake Up Session collaborated with Reunion Island organization Soul City so that Mauritius Island can be represented on the Indian Ocean breakdance championship called ‘Battle de l’Ouest. Each year since, Mauritian dancers are selected to represent our island on the Indian Ocean breakdance finals held at Reunion Island.
