Since the first battle in 2004โ€”exactly 10 years agoโ€”the Skechers Streetdance Battle (SSB) has been cultivating winners – the generation of champions. Formerly held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, the Skechers Streetdance Battle has since relocated its battlegrounds to the SM Mall of Asia Arena where it has been held for the past three years. Its popularity continues to expand with each battle. It is, as its tagline says, โ€œThe one battle that counts.โ€

The Skechers Streetdance Battle kicked off on a high note โ€” the crowd going wild โ€” with dancer and choreographer Phil Pamintuan leading the SSB signature dance.
