About us
Built by dancers, for the city.
GZF Dance Wars is a community-led organization dedicated to positive competition, youth development, and the endless creativity of dance. We produce battles, cyphers, workshops, and showcases that put movement, music, and mentorship at the center.
Community first
Every event supports free youth programming and city outreach.
Youth development
Scholarships, workshops, and cyphers for the next generation of movers.
Creative culture
Championing the city's own dance scene on a world-class stage.
Our story
Founded in a North Philly rec center in 2019, we started as a monthly cypher between crews and grew into the region's largest battle series. Every dollar we raise gets reinvested into free workshops, scholarships, and stage time for young performers across Philadelphia and the tri-state area.
