Local favourite Cheryl Lofreda won the first Red Bull Dance Your Style edition in Malta in a thrilling final night during which 16 competitors took part.

The event was held at Tritons Square, in Valletta, where the finalists presented different styles in the street-dance contest.

Participants competed in one-against-one contests and were judged on style, creativity and rhythm. The winner was decided by popular vote among the audience by means of red and blue placards.

Besides Lofreda, the other finalists were Mark Scerri, Dave Duong, IJ Altriki, Leonel Viloria Aquino, Rebecca Millo, Marius Pitre, Christian Calì, Mariah Cutajar, Zeo James, Lawrence Mifsud, B Boy Nadeer, Antonio Whyte, Martina Borg, Luke Mizzi and Matthew Cilia.

Dance Your Style is a global event taking place in 16 countries.

The opener was held in Athens, Greece, and the final event is scheduled for December in Santiago, Chile.

The crowd-voted, all-styles concept battle aims to be a celebration of dance, music and performance with a touch of local influence. The opening two rounds of the competition were held­ on April 14 (Athens) and May 4 (Thessaloniki).

The Red Bull Dance Your Style was organised in collaboration with Bass Camp, VIBE FM and Reebok Classics from Eurosport Malta.
