Juste Debout Workshops

During Juste Debout Rotterdam, the judges don’t only decide the battles, they also step into the studio to share their knowledge.

Join exclusive workshops led by Masato (Locking), HYA (Popping), Kwamé (House) and Bouboo (Hip Hop). Each session offers a deep dive into foundations, musicality, groove, and personal approach to their style.

All workshops take place the day after Juste Debout Rotterdam, on the 16th of February in Rotterdam.
