Battle & Ball: How to Register

The principle

Each event is organised in collaboration with a collective responsible for its artistic direction: Engrenage[s] and Les Ratz for the Focus Funk X EOV Locking Battle, W*ack à Rennes for Whack to the West, and Ballroom Scene Rennes for The Heaven Kiki Ball. These collectives manage registrations, whether online or on the day of the event. To take part, simply get in touch with the organising collective—they’ll share the registration link with you.
Registration is mandatory in every case, including if you sign up on the day of the event. It is required to take part in the battle or ball and includes image rights. A €5 registration fee applies to all participants.
If you run into any problems (can’t find the registration link, have a last-minute question, or haven’t heard back from the organisers?), email us at info@ccnrb.org. We don’t manage registrations ourselves, but we know the people who do—and we have all the links.
