Lords of the Land IV: The PRELIMINARIES

‘Lords of The Land’ is an annual two day summer festival in Cleveland, Ohio, bringing artists & creators together from around the continent to showcase authentic Hip Hop culture.

Culminating with three 1v1 dance tournaments in three distinct Street Dance styles, LoTL highlights the excellence, athleticism, and artistry of Hip Hop & Street Dance practitioners. LoTL IV continues to provide a platform for dancers — local to international — to showcase their skills, hard work and individual flavor.

Featuring special performances, in-depth dance classes/workshops, and thousands of dollars in prize money on the line, the festivities also include:

• Dance workshops
• Dance performances & showcases
• Local vendors
• Open dance cyphers

Attracting competitors from all over North America, LOTL is the premier Hip-Hop dance event in the mid-west!

LoTL is 10K Movement’s culminating summer event, as part of the larger work addressing the need for socially and culturally relevant Hip Hop & Street Dance education by providing programs/experiences for young people in Greater Cleveland and beyond.
