For the past two months, we have partnered with Rayneesha Yvonne of BeAmbi & Company and Leo Louis II to seek out the best dancers in Omaha to compete in an All-styles Dance Battle Royale. After two battles, hosted at BeAmbi & Co Creative Studios, we have found the 6 finalists for the Championship Battle on May 19 at Steelhouse:

Moses Neblasca, Sontarian Davis, Antwan ‘Blu3teck’ Smith, Thaiair ‘King’ Kelly, Elijah ‘EJ’ Moore, and Gabriel ‘Gabe’ Moore. We will also have a featured performance from past Voices Amplified artist, De’Anthony Wood.

We’d like to give a big shoutout and thank you to DJ Scottie Pigeon for bringing the hottest music, and our judges, Houston Alexander, Chrome Louis, and Antwaun Bradshaw for helping us find our top 6!
