Hip-hop culture in context

Mutual respect, recognition and networking are the pillars of hip-hop culture. The team at Room - Hip Hop Spot has been living this spirit for years. Everything here revolves around dancing, toprocks, freezes and power moves. Breaking and hip-hop are their passion, which they have shared with friends from all over Europe for just as long. In 2025, they invite the world to Chemnitz, give joint workshops and organise battles and shows in unexpected places in the city. Because even if you don't have the confidence to perform the sometimes artistic dance routines yourself - watching, cheering and marvelling are just as much fun.

When? From February to November 2025

Where? Chemnitz, Room - Hip Hop Spot
