Lincoln Center will present Street Dance Takeover: Beats, Battles, and Breaking on Sunday, August 2, as part of its Summer for the City festival.

The free, daylong event will celebrate Hip-Hop and street dance culture through performances, workshops, and interactive programming across David Geffen Hall and The Dance Floor at Josie Robertson Plaza. Running from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., the event concludes Lincoln Center's Summer of Dance series.
