Festival Freestyle Lab

A 7-day street dance festival taking place in Brussels from 22 to 28 June 2026

One week celebrating street & club dances, cultures and communities

An intensive programme accessible for all in Théâtre de la Vie (Brussels). 

Festival Freestyle Lab - Second Edition

From 22 to 28 June 2026.

With this second edition, our ambition remains unchanged: to promote the Belgian hip hop community, to pass on knowledge, to inspire, to celebrate, and to offer opportunities for development and visibility to artists; thus taking advantage of this wonderful opportunity to introduce our culture, our practice, and our art to the general public.

The first edition in 2024 was beyond our expectations and we had such a quality time with all of you.
This year, we will also celebrate our 10 years anniversary, an extra opportunity to make it more special.
 
One week of all the activities we love to organise : battles, workshops, jams, open stage, screening, talks, discussions, gatherings, parties,…

Past edition

24 to 30 June 2024

In 2023, the new management of the Théâtre de la Vie offered us carte blanche, and we decided to build this project together: a week of 100% hip hop events dedicated to street dances, club dances, and social dances, which took place during the last week of June 2024. Les Halles de Schaerbeek and BAMP also joined the project and provided their space for certain activities.
