On the 18th and 19th July, SIN Cru will be hosting a digital festival chock-a-block with dance performances, workshops, archive footage, DJ showcases, live music sets, and SIN Cru’s first ever online 2 on 2 BBoy Battle.
This year’s Urban SINfonie battle is happening via Instagram video submissions posted throughout the rest of June and July, culminating in battles presented live over the 18th and 19th July across our channels. This is battling tailored for social distancing conditions, whilst providing opportunities for Bboys and girls worldwide to collaborate and get creative together.
Do you have crew members that live far away, or friends that you always say you’re going to enter a battle with but you’re never in the same place? This is the time to hit them up. No air miles, no MegaBus, no National Express.
Yessss prelims for the battle are now open, so get up, get into it, get involved:
- DOWNLOAD. Go to the Urban SINfonie page and download one of our free prelim mixes from DJ Marshy or Mr Margaret Scratcher.
- FILM. With your partner arrange your video and edit however you like, be as creative or as raw as necessary. This could be just two throwdowns stuck together or you could devise something more complicated – up to you. Your video must feature the two of you and last no longer than the approx 2 mins duration of the prelim track.
- UPLOAD. Submit on your Instagram with the hashtags #SINCru25 and #UrbanSINfonie2020 . Make sure you tag your partner who you’re entering with, and us @SIN_Cru

Don’t mess around! I’ve been waiting for this for YEARS. Time for me to dust off my Pumas and get into it. I cant WAIT! I have some secret moves I’ve been working on. Get ready World
Looking forward to receiving your entry via Insta. Remember to use all the hashtags. Peace outski
I hope you’re going to follow proper health and safety protocol. Dancing is fun but it can be dangerous. What if someone pulls a muscle? I have a good risk assessment if you want to borrow. LMK

Thanks Rob. We have been working on our RA. Are you able to recommend any virtual ladder ascension training courses?
This is Professor Doktor. I’m extremely intrigued by your competition. Will there be a reward for the greatest dancer? I may enter with one of my assistants.
Hey Professor Doktor. Great to connect with you, we have been following your work for some time now. Please DM me to discuss some project ideas
This is Meta Phil from Meta Phitness. I’d like to offer my services as an instructor to your company. I don’t know much about dance, but I do know everything there is to know about fitness, I think we could collaborate together. I’ve emailed you a CV. Please let me know if you’re interested
Thanks for your interest, and your CV Meta Phil. To quote Peckham’s leading entrepreneur, ‘he who dares wins’. We will be in touch, and in the meantime, do let us know if you would like some contacts for Knee Health, and arch supports.
Big!!!
