As a key cultural exchange event for youth across the Taiwan Strait, this league continues the concept of "promoting integration through dance and connecting hearts through body", using street dance culture as a link to build a high-quality platform for youth from both sides of the Taiwan Strait to connect and learn from each other.
On the final day, the all-around style series event finals, street dance performances, and referee shows will begin. On the field, the contestants were full of energy, with neat and silky dance steps, difficult floor stunts, and highly creative improvisational choreography taking turns.

Their delicate body expressions, tacit teamwork, and novel creative choreography demonstrate the diverse charm and innovative vitality of contemporary street dance culture, winning bursts of cheers and warm applause from the audience.
What is particularly eye-catching is the original street dance work "Fusion", jointly created by dancers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, breaking the boundaries of traditional street dance creation and cleverly integrating traditional Chinese folk elements and classic national cultural symbols into modern street dance choreography, allowing traditional culture to glow with new vitality in the youthful and rhythmic dance steps.

"This kind of choreography style that deeply integrates national style and trend is not common in Taiwan. The process of participating in the performance has broadened my creative horizons and accumulated valuable stage experience."
"It is a rare experience to be able to compete on the same stage in Bao'an, an event that brings together dancers from all over the world." Taiwanese contestant Tzuyu said in an interview at the scene that dancers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait will soon be able to communicate and unite together with the same love for street dance.
Chen Chen, a well-known hip-hop judge and guest performer, said that compared to the competition of skills, the most precious value of this event is to build a bridge for face-to-face communication, allowing dancers from all over the world to become dance friends, compare skills, and grow together. "The competition is only connected by love. Many contestants have become close friends after the competition. Everyone enjoys music and dance together. This is the greatest charm of hip-hop."
