Mynavi's Vision for DANCEALIVE

This event is crafted as a springboard for young dancers to challenge themselves and pursue their aspirations. By supporting diverse careers, Mynavi emphasizes its dedication to accompanying participants on their life journeys, cultivating many potential stars.

What is Mynavi DANCEALIVE?

Established in 2005 as DANCE@LIVE, Mynavi DANCEALIVE has become the world's largest street dance battle featuring 1-on-1 duels. Dancers face off to music chosen exclusively by the DJ, performing one move at a time. The goal: to secure more votes from judges based on creativity and execution. The competition spans six categories, culminating in regional qualifiers across Japan, with a grand finale each April. Competitions cater to all dance styles, including House, Breaking, Hip-Hop, All Styles, and Popping alongside a special Kids category for younger dancers.

By facilitating the growth of young talent, Mynavi DANCEALIVE not only showcases the future of dance but also enriches the lives of children through artistic expression and career exploration.
