Start here. 9+ classes across four days, all of it designed for newcomers, and for dancers who want to take it slow and learn the foundations of the styles.
The camp
The hardest part of any dance festival is the first class, when it feels like everyone else already knows what they are doing. The Beginner Camp exists so you never have to feel that way. You get your own room, so you can learn at your own pace, with teachers who start at the very beginning because that is exactly what they came to teach.
Across four days, you will take two or three classes each morning. It is enough to build your skills and your confidence without being overwhelmed by too much at once. After class, the rest of the day belongs to you just as much as to anyone else at the festival: the social events, the welcome night, the ShowOff, the battles, the closing party. It is the full OYOFE experience, with a room that meets you where you are.
Who is it for?
No experience needed, no fitness requirement, and no age limit. If you have ever watched African street dance and thought you would be terrible at it, that thought is your ticket in. Come with friends, or come alone as most people do, and leave with a new community. We are making that easier this year with our new social events.
Already dancing and looking to level up? The main camp runs across the same four days, with more styles, more teachers, and a room that moves faster.
Line-up
Vol. 11 is built around Woman King, honouring the impact of women on African street dance. It draws inspiration from the Agojie, the all-woman regiment of the Kingdom of Dahomey.
