Kinship '25 Top 8: Kien vs. Mike Cheq

Описание: A single 45-second round is simply not enough time to see the true artists we all are. We all work too hard to be limited by that.

That’s why this event exists.
It’s not for the faint of heart.

Kinship was built to give everyone the space to fully showcase their art—and for those who advanced, to feel like it was truly earned. The people who battled alongside you were the ones who voted you forward. And once the Top 8 rose, they became the judges until the winner was crowned.

When two dancers were battling, the remaining six became the judges. Majority vote determined who moved forward. This structure was intentional—bringing everyone back together to share the space as a community before the finals.
