For years, we’ve believed dancers deserve the same respect, recognition, and resources as pro athletes.
Now, we’re making it real.
Introducing the International Dance League (IDL) — the world’s first professional league for dance.
What Is the International Dance League?
The International Dance League (IDL) is the world’s first professional league for dance — a global stage where the best crews in the world compete head-to-head for glory, pride, and prize money.
Presented by STEEZY and supported by Honda, the IDL is here to elevate dancers to the level of pro athletes — with structured teams, paid contracts, elite judging, and stadium-style productions.
This isn’t just another dance competition.
This is the start of something historic.
The Vision Behind the IDL
For decades, dancers have poured their hearts and bodies into their craft — without the professional infrastructure that exists in sports, music, or film.
The IDL aims to change that.
- Global visibility for elite dance crews
- Career pathways for dancers to go pro
- High-production live events in arenas and stadiums
- Fan engagement through scoring, voting, and media coverage
- Sponsorships and monetization to support the next generation of talent
Much like the NBA, UFC, or Formula 1, the IDL is building a league-based ecosystem where dance isn’t just entertainment — it’s a career.
Meet the 6 Founding Teams (Pro Division)
The inaugural Pro Division features six of the most respected and influential dance crews on the planet:
- Quick Style (Norway / UAE)
- 1MILLION (South Korea)
- Royal Family (New Zealand)
- Jam Republic (Singapore)
- Brotherhood (Canada)
- GRV (USA)
These crews have danced with icons, inspired millions, and built massive fan bases online. Now they’ll compete live on stage under the bright lights of the IDL.
Plus: The Community Division
The IDL is also celebrating the community crews that built the global dance scene from the ground up. On July 26, you’ll also see performances from:
Commonality, Groove Against The Machine, Hyphen, Meccamee, Samahang Modern, Snowtorious, Syndicate, The Avenue, The G.O.O.D. Project, and U MO.
These crews will showcase the creativity, originality, and spirit of street and collegiate dance culture on one of the biggest stages ever built for dance.
