We are pleased to announce the return of KO AU!!!

The next season of KO AU will be a three-day mini festival that will platform Projekt Team's fundamental pillars of freestyle, battle, and showcase. KO AU will be kicking off Matariki by showcasing our diverse cultures through the artistry of street dance. 

Day 1: "PAREAU" is a freestyle showcase where different dancers will be tasked with creating brand-new pieces right in front of the audience. With only limited knowledge of elements beforehand such as music and staging, this promises to be an evening full of surprises.
