“We wanted to do our part in making sure the greater Saint Louis dance community was connected to SLU’s dance community. That is what ‘Xpress Urself’ is about, just a space where all the dance genres can be themselves and grow. The freestyle competition is our own personal ode to Hip Hop, that’s where it started, and its only right that we continue it”

Xpress Urself - What is it?

Fall 2024 will be the first year of “Xpress Urself” and we hope it will continue to be a recognized and respected tradition that represents unity to the Saint Louis and SLU Dance community. The event itself is comprised of a competitive showcase section that will be judged by cultural and dance scholars at Saint Louis University. This section of the event has a cash prize component, and participants may opt to receive helpful feedback from our judges.

For the freestyle portion the goal is just to have an old school freestyle battle. Hop in, show your stuff and let the audience determine the winner. Whomever does come out victorious would receive a trophy and street cred by the very community they love.

XQUIZIT as an organization will not be competing in either portion, however individuals on the team may participate upon their own merit. We are dedicated to keeping things fair and without bias which is why we have such a wide variety of judges, as well as the audience determination.
