About Well Done

We believe a true champion adapts.

Well Done is a Shuffle and Cutting Shapes competition born in the community and made for the community. The idea starts from the formats of the big hip hop competitions, with our own touch: here the music is not random, it becomes part of the strategy.

Dancers who make it through the preselections into the Well Done Top 32 choose their own music genre, based on the style they go deep into. The DJ plays a random track from that genre. Every battle has two rounds, and in the second one you dance to the music your opponent chose.

To make the Top 32, and even more to win, you need the experience and the skill to dance on a house track even if you are a die-hard stomper.

But Well Done is not only about the battle. Four days of meet-up, competition, workshops and surprises have one goal: to bring the community closer, to grow together and to give every dancer room for their own style.

Categories

Three categories, three titles, plus a special prize for anyone brave enough to challenge the judges.

How it works

How it works

  1. 01

    Preselections

    Every dancer goes on a random track picked by the DJ. One minute each. The best make the Well Done Top 32.

  2. 02

    You pick your genre

    In the Top 32, each dancer chooses a music genre, based on the style they go deep into. The DJ plays a random track from it.

  3. 03

    Two rounds, two genres

    Every battle has 2 rounds: one on the music you chose, one on the music your opponent chose. The format stays the same up to the final.

Shuffle

  • Techno
  • Acid
  • Trance
  • Psytrance
  • Hard

Cutting Shapes

  • House
  • Tech House
  • Bass House
  • UK Garage

More house and techno subgenres will be added to the list.

2 vs 2. Top 16 teams, with the same music rule and the same genres as 1 vs 1, inspired by The Circle Dance Lab: each team picks a genre, and the battle is danced on both.

Why? Because a Well Done champion does not only dance to what they like. They dance to whatever life puts through the speakers.

JudgeBreaker

Made it to the final? Challenge the judges.

Before the big 1 vs 1 final, each of the two finalists picks one of the three judges and challenges them to a duel. The remaining judge decides the duel.

Whoever beats their judge goes home with an extra prize: JUDGE BREAKER.

Whatever the result, both finalists go on to the big final for the title of WELL DONE CHAMPION. The duel with the judge does not affect the final.

Concept inspired by Summer Dance Forever.
