WELCOME TO THE

DANCE HIVE

The Hive Mind

Being a part of the Dance Hive gives you access to the Hive Mind. A private Facebook group allowing you to connect with dancers all across Florida, networking with some of the best freestylers in the state. Whether you are new to the street dance scene or a seasoned veteran, this online dance community will introduce you to other talented dancers to improve your skills and foster great relationships.

Members Only Perks

Beyond having access to an amazing community, battle members receive more rewards than going to an average event. The idea was to give back more to the community then what was given in the past. We give entry to multiple battles, media, networking, and rewards to our members for the price of one “normal” battle event.

Build your reputation

Members will need to step up their training if they want to keep the #1 spot on our official battle ranking system. The more you battle, the more you will be noticed. We want to see up and coming dancers give it their all so train, rise up the ranks, and become Florida’s new favorite dancer!

How it works

Each dancer that competes in a battle in our community will be tracked in our leaderboard. The dancers with the most points obtained from these “ranked battles in the month will be invited to dance at an official battle event to compete for the championship title “Wasp King/Queen Bee” along with a cash prize. The more participants involved, the higher the cash prize.

Here are the rules:

  1. Open to Florida residents only.

  2. Every battle you win adds 2 points to your ranking.

  3. Every battle you lose subtracts 1 point to your ranking.

  4. Every battle consist of 2 rounds.

  5. Rankings/points are updated every Friday and resets at the end of the month.

  6. Dancers require a certain amount of wins to level up class. The higher your class, the less competition you have to battle for the championship title.

  7. You can not initiate a battle against anyone above your class but you can call out higher ranked dancers within the same class. If you call out someone that outranks you and win, you will take their ranking spot along with their accumulated points. The loser will be forced to switch their battle ranking/points with the challenger’s original stats.

  8. Both dancers must be battle members in order to qualify for consideration into the ranking system.

  9. You can not battle the same person more than once a month to improve your ranking.

  10. Winners are determined on a voting system and have a voting period of 48 hours on Ebanks Films official YouTube channel.

  11. “Ranking battles” can be organized through Ebanks Films or independently. If independent, battles must be able to provide clear audio, horizontal video (1920x1080 minimum) of dancers with no view obstruction, decent lighting, and sent to ebanksfilms@gmail.com.

  12. Battle music selection is open to dancer’s discretion.

  13. Battles can be hosted ANYWHERE (thats legal). In the streets, the parking lot, your mom’s garage, etc. As long as you guys stand on business, battles are valid no matter where you host.

Upcoming events.

Here you can find sessions, labs, battles, and other street dance events hosted by the community. If you are a member that would like to host an independent event please send us your event information to update our calendar for all members to see and have the opportunity to vibe with you!
