Yea, you read that right, it’s the 16th year of the Northwest Sweet 16. Our beloved little competition can now drive a car. It will take place on March 21, 2026 at either Washington Hall or the Seattle Vineyard (TBD, still figuring that out). For the 16th year, and this year only, we will adjusting the 1v1 Sweet 16 invite only bracket to be a 2v2 bracket (still invite or prelim winner only). Prelims will take place in Vancouver BC, Portland OR, and Seattle WA, plus some special edition prelims as well. Besides the Sweet 16 bracket, we will be featuring a 5v5 open breaking crew bracket (prelims the day of the Sweet 16). More details to come, but check out the event page HERE, or our Facebook event page HERE.

Anyone can come early to watch the prelims, but it is recommended for general public to come at 7pm. After party at Time Warp (1420 10th Ave Seattle) after the jam is over.

Fill out a bracket at the jam and turn it in before 7:30pm for a chance to win $100 (You don’t need to know any of the dancers, guessing is perfectly fine).
