2vs2 Battle in the Belle Époque Hall
The Good-Good Battle brings together what rarely comes together: the international urban dance scene and the historic Bénazetsaal of the Kurhaus Baden-Baden, one of Germany's most beautiful Belle Époque halls. In a 2vs2 format, crews from all over the world compete against each other — Breaking, Hip-Hop, Locking, and Funk are merged into a competition that rewards versatility rather than stylistic purity. You'll experience dancers switching between power moves, top rock, locks, and funk steps.
Live DJs and International Jury
Experienced DJs mix the beats live: Boom Bap (classic Hip-Hop), Jazz, Funk, and Soul. These musical genres are by no means accidental — they form the musical roots of Breaking and Hip-Hop, and many crews train to precisely these rhythms. An international jury of professional dancers and choreographers judges each round: musicality (how do the dancers react to the beat?), creativity (what variations, what surprises?), and technique (cleanliness of the moves).
Format and Schedule
Doors open at 5 PM with warm-up activities, main event starts at 6 PM. It begins with qualification rounds — all registered 2-person crews dance against others, and the jury selects the best 16 or 8 for the main round. Then it's a knockout system: round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, final. A battle lasts a few minutes per round — the dancers have limited time, so they must give their all on the dance floor. Suitable for ages 5 and up, children under 12 must be accompanied.
Baden-Baden and Urban Culture
The fact that an international Breaking battle is taking place in Baden-Baden is part of the spa town's deliberate strategy: alongside the casino, classical music, and art, Baden-Baden also wants to appeal to younger audiences. The Good-Good Battle is in its 3rd edition in 2026 at the Bénazetsaal — a successful establishment of urban culture in a classic setting. The organizer is Team Combo from Karlsruhe, one of Southwest Germany's most important Breaking crews.
