European Buck Session
The European Buck Session (EBS) is a battle format that takes place annually at tanzhaus nrw. It started out as small “street session” when krump dancers from throughout Germany met, exchanged, and networked. Krump is a high-energy dance style marked by sharp and expressive movements, with a complex history that begins in 1990’s Los Angeles.
Today, the EBS is the world’s largest Krump event with a growing number of participants and contributors each year. The program is comprised of the World Championship Battle, the Creative Night and numerous workshops as well as an after-show party. Well-known DJs will bring the heat and promise to turn the weekend into a unique experience.

Preselection
The European Buck Session traditionally starts with a preselection, with more than 250 dancers participating in it. The 16 contenders who prove most convincing will compete in a one-on-one battle during the main event on the next day. A panel decides the battle winner.

Creative Night
The Creative Night offers krump dancers an opportunity to show short performances on stage. They present their creativity on stage, outside of a battle, in solos and duets. Following the short presentations, the audience can use the occasion to provide the dancers with direct feedback.
