DERT 2014
DERT (Dancing England Rapper Tournament) is the largest annual rapper dancing competition, attracting teams from all over the world to compete, share ideas and engage in moderately offensive banter. Since its origins in the 1980s, DERT has encouraged and been the exhibition stage for the development of new figures, tactics and styles, all of which have made rapper dancing the fresh and living tradition that it is today.
