Hybrid Series Open Styles 7-To-Smoke | Pop In Progress 2025 | RPProds

After a 8 year hiatus, Pop in Progress makes a return to celebrate Singapore's Popping dance community. We believe there's still so much room for us and the community to be inspired and rejuvenated in our local competitive landscape and we hope to bring back the good vibes, exchanges, cyphers and spirit of changing the game. We are also big on collaboration so in this special edition, we have partnered with NTU Soul Funky, Poppers Exchange and Hybrid Series to bring you a week of festival programmes.
