PRACTICAL INFORMATION

WHAT IT IS?

In 2025, we will offer a unique support for TWO Belgian freestyle dancers. The grant will mainly support training and travel costs for one year. We want to offer a one-time opportunity to street dancers who NEED support to be able to develop themselves and their art ; who are looking for gaining more experience and knowledge ; who want to participate to international events with the objective to grow and challenge themselves and represent Belgium internationally.

WHAT DO WE OFFER?

The scholarship value is more than 3.500 € per dancer.

We will be giving these dancers a boost by allowing them to follow high quality workshops, camps, battles ; to receive professional guidance from Freestyle Lab team ; and to enjoy a grant of €1500 to develop your talents and skills, travel abroad to events, and meet your artistic goals.

  • 1500€ grant
  • 650€ camp July
  • 650€ camp August
  • All Freestyle Lab workshops, mini bootcamps, classes & events in 2025.

In addition to this support, the two selected talents will receive an individual follow-up including personal advice, professional courses and a concrete artistic career plan/timeline, according to their artistic goals and ambitions.
