A street dance event called CYCLE FLAVA ALLSTYLES 2013, which is incredible in terms of style, has been held in Baku for the second time with the organizational support of Azerbaijan's Modern and Social Dance Association and Azerbaijan Youth Union.

The tournament combined all styles of street dance and hip-hop culture with no restrictions on choosing dancing styles.

The event fuses almost all musical styles of the abundant hip-hop culture.

The main task set forth for the dancers was to show how they feel the street, regardless of whether it's funk, glitch hop or trap.

ALLSTYLES is a clash of styles, with no goal of determining whose style is stronger or whose heart is in beat with the music.

The first half of the championship was held in the open air, while the semi-finals and finals took place in the Jam SS dance school.

Andrew Freeman, a representative of the break-dance team, was victorious in the intensely contested tournament, which featured more than 30 dancers.

Street dance refers to dance styles that evolved outside dance studios in any available open space such as streets, dance parties, parks, school yards, nightclubs, etc.
Street dance is a collection of various similar dance moves and styles combined into one practice and regarded as the same dance. It is often improvisational and social in nature, encouraging interaction and contact with spectators and other dancers.

Don Campbell was a 1970s pioneer of American street dance.
