OUT OF THE BOX – Hip Hop Showcase


Tempo pulls out all the stops for this innovative hip hop showcase featuring some of the country's top hip hop dancers.

This is hip hop like you've never see it - no competitions, just pure dance excitement. Out of the Box features new and innovative works by Allister Salaivao, Kat Walker and Josh Mitikulena, Andrew and Richie Cesan, Simon Watts and Joshua Cesan, Andrew Jones, Joe Ling, Ryan Carr, Matt Moore and Justin Haiu courtesy of the New Zealand Dance Company. Also includes guest performances by Identity Dance Crew and Posué from New Caledonia.


Curator, Joshua Martin (Prestige Dance Crew) has challenged a collection of NZ’s finest Hip Hop choreographers to show where Hip Hop moves to next. This is not just great Hip Hop; it also brings a fresh perspective and new genres into a dance form in which New Zealand has gained international recognition.

Out of the Box closes this year’s Main Stage (Rangatira) tempo festival programme with a powerful collection of the latest and greatest in hip hop dance.
