Mad Dance Festival 2023

Metro Arts and Mad Dance House join forces for a 4-day celebration of Queensland’s hard-hitting street dance scene.

With jaw-dropping performances, gutsy scratch showings, workshops and ferocious dance battles, Mad Dance Festival is smashing down the walls between ‘elite’ and ‘street’.

The festival is an opportunity to showcase the world-class street dance artists right here in Brisbane and across Australia. B-boys, poppers and lockers, and hip-hop heavy-weights are taking over Metro Arts for an unmissable line-up of performances, creative developments, battles, workshops, artist talks and activations.
