School street dance competition

UAAP Street Dance Competition Sport Street dance Founded 2011 No. of teams 15 teams: 8 - Seniors 7 - Juniors Country Philippines Most recent champions Season 88 (2026) Collegiate – UP Streetdance Club High School – Adamson University Dance Company – Street SHS

The **UAAP Street Dance Competition** is an annual event of the [University Athletic Association of the Philippines](/source/University_Athletic_Association_of_the_Philippines) (UAAP) during the closing ceremonies. This is to encourage more students to watch since few spectators attend the closing ceremonies, where players are awarded for their performance.[1] Results of the street dance competition, together with the drum line competition, will not be added to the computation of the overall championship of the UAAP.[2]

Nonetheless, in [Season 88](/source/UAAP_Season_88), the league decided to finally hold the Street Dance competition as a standalone event, separate from the closing ceremonies.[3]
