Urban dance was also showcased during the festival.

Dancers battled it out to the pulsating beat of hip-hop. They tried to outdo each other with acrobatic moves, defying gravity with daredevil ease.

The captivating Brazilian fight-dance and martial art, Capoeira, was part of the exhibition. The dance is relatively new in Kenya but is enjoying rising popularity among the young.
