Join 10K Movement for an interactive dance experience that brings the energy of street dance battles into the museum. The 10KChallenge is a dynamic 2 vs. 2 concept battle, where pairs of dancers team up and pull prompts from a hat. Each round’s challenge, inspired by moCa’s current exhibitions, pushes dancers to explore ideas like footwork only, lines and shapes, or level changes.

As partners respond and feed off each other’s energy, audiences get a front-row, intimate look at the creativity, improvisation, and community spirit that define battle culture.

Alongside the battles, audiences will learn about the history and significance of street dance, cheer for their favorites, and even have a chance to step into the circle themselves. The afternoon closes with an open freestyle jam where everyone is invited to move together.

Whether you’re a dancer or just curious, come discover how battle culture transforms improvisation into contemporary art.
