UMA People,

We are excited to have the opportunity to present our second house dance battle. UMA battles are student focused events. The goal is to provide participants with an enriching environment to challenge themselves by taking chances and testing their knowledge under some healthy competitive pressure. 

Battle culture has never been more present in the mainstream with Redbull, Snipes and a number of other mainstream corporate entities platforming street dance competition. 

In Philly, many of us are no stranger to the high level competition that takes place at Second Sundae and JustSole events. 

UMA battles maintain alignment with our dedication to being in service of individual and communal development. Our battles strive to be a place where students and practitioners of various levels are able to convene around the shared effort to train and elevate through competition. There will be winners and there will be losers, but there will be feedback and support to help you continue to grow regardless of the finite conclusions of the particular day.  

Our vision is that anyone that comes up in our community will attain knowledge, foundation and resources to be successful in any more high stakes/professional competition environment. 

Sign up and build with us!
