🚨 BATTLE UPDATE 🚨

Due to today’s weather conditions, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the Open Styles Battle scheduled for this evening.

With Party on the Pavement also being canceled today, and with so many people traveling to be part of the battle, safety has to be our top priority and we were forced to make a call that wasn’t fun!!

We’re truly sorry for the late notice. We’ve been urgently tied up with team communications related to our events today while also communicating with everyone involved in today’s battles and working through the changing weather conditions, so getting this public update posted took longer than I would have liked. & I genuinely apologize for any that!!

We were really looking forward to kicking it with everyone today and are disappointed we won’t get to make it happen. Thank you for your patience, understanding & continued support of SWEAT Fest / Street Jamz.

Stay tuned for a possible reschedule date and more chances this season to dance and compete with SWEAT!!

Most importantly, we hope everyone stays safe. 🖤

Recognizing his leadership and innovation, Richard transformed Remix Dance Company into Revamped Dance Company, leading it for six years and shaping a generation of Milwaukee dancers.
