MyNavi DANCEALIVE 2026 CHARISMAX IV: A Dance Extravaganza

On December 6, 2025, the iconic solo dance battle event, MyNavi DANCEALIVE 2026 CHARISMAX IV, took place at the prestigious Scalar Espacio in Japan. Organized by Anomaly Inc. based in Shibuya, Tokyo and led by CEO Kanta Kanda, this competition is a crucial entry point for dancers aiming to advance to the finals scheduled for April 2026. The event is part of the renowned MyNavi DANCEALIVE series, which originated as DANCE@LIVE in 2005, boasting the title of the world's largest one-on-one street dance battle.

The competition structure is simple yet exhilarating: dancers perform one move at a time in a face-to-face showdown against a rival, with music played exclusively by the DJ, whose selections remain unknown to the participants. The winner is determined by the number of votes from judges after all the performances, making each moment highly competitive and thrilling. The MyNavi DANCEALIVE event has six categories, with the GENERAL section including HOUSE, BREAKING, HIP HOP, ALL STYLES, and POPPING dance styles, specifically for participants aged 15 and older (excluding third-year middle school students). All styles for younger dancers under the KIDS category are also featured.
