Urban Moves is a key festival in Norway, focusing on dance styles that arose from urban cultures. The festival has been part of the program of Dansens Hus Oslo since 2011. The festival is a platform for jamsessions, battles, talks, workshops, conversations and performances. Working together with curators from the Norwegian hiphop and streetdance scene, the festival has developed into an important voice for artists working within styles such as breaking, hiphop freestyle, locking, popping and house.
