Dancehall vs Afro | All Stars Exhibition Battle | CDC Festival 2026

Beautiful to watch, no competition no beef just straight energy blk ppl are amazing

They all win 🤩

Madnesssssss💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

Jamaican dancers were not on the same level as the west African dancers.

Don’t mess with west Africans when it comes to dance, that’s the origin of entertainment especially with Nigerians

All I see is black beautiful people ❤…

YES TO MY BLACK PEOPLE!!! ALLLL MY BLACK PEOPLE....ONE LOVE ✊🏾🖤

This mashup is what the dance battle industry's been missing 💯👏🏾

Who won? I think it was Afro! Dancehall have the rhythm but afro has the moves 🇹🇹❤‍🔥❤

Afro dancers shut it down 🔥🔥 Jamaica did good too, but when/why did they start dancing on beats 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8 (all of them)? Maybe I'm too old school 🧐

I'm Jamaican.....but afro definitely took this one

it doesnt matter whenever black people come together its such a vibe

WOWWWW! I’m smiling from start to finish

Just fun competition. Big up Jamaica! Love, Respect and Honour to the Roots Africa! Big up all di Dancer dem and those who appreciate the art.

7:28 name of the song?

The Jamaicans brought the vibes the Africans brought the technique

I love us 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

dancing Afrobeat needs every part of your body including internal organs😂😂 and the beats have every instrument imaginable & unimaginabe

Big Man light on his feet

Africa schooled our Caribbean brothers and sisters 💯 all love though. I especially enjoyed the fluffy Afro beats guy, he was a beautiful vibe ❤. I was a bit disappointed that the Dancehall side didn't have one of our plus girls, Caribbean fluffy women are some of greatest dancers

Top performance brilliant 🔥 🔥 🔥 the end got me 😁 👍

yes they have ryhthm, but this is pure fashon ova STYLE to blouses

To be dancehall Dance's has gone to the dogs all this nonsense🤦🏾‍♂️
R,I,POWER john bogle, ice laba laba
Carline Dancehall Queen just to mention a few

MOTHERLAND WINS! 💣💥🧯🔥

The Dancehall crew lost because they couldn’t care less about rhythm. This “dancing to the lyrics” sh*t started with Millennials and has to stop. ITS AN ABOMINATION 😭😭😭

All I see is Africans having fun.. this is not a battle🔥🔥🔥

My entire time watching this as a Caribbean man am just saying to myself this shouldn’t be competition. I love the idea of calling it an Exchange. We are one people, I love us.

They are dancing from oppression we dance from freedom and roots. Come and join us please.

I am really disappointed with my Jamaican brothers.
I've seen a lot better Jamaicans dancer. From parties to dancing alongside them.
I can also say the same about my African brothers.
I am still happy about all this show, just subscribed.
But I can't lie about the dancers, they are good, but I have seen a lot better from both sides.
This from someone that danced in clubs and created a lot of African dance moves, before they were out there.
❤KEEP GOING GUYS, WE CAN DO BETTER.❤

The Africans gon' win every time, I wouldn't even try lol 😂 😂

I am a fan of both genre. The Afro for me in this battle. Dancehall ate the dust.

Both were amazing in their own way, the Africans definitely had a lot of energy but the Jamaicans were more coordinated and synchronized which just made them more dynamic. They took the cake for meeeeee

Big Up unna self 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Dancehall, mi know the instruction yet for I not to hear one clear dubplate, ya miss a beat which next year ya canntt miss again.

Humble opinion, without knowing the rules.

Well done to all involved 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Unity & One Blood
❤💛💚🖤

The negative lyrics in Jamaican dancehall are not good for our community.

AFRO all day, everyday! We move with our entire body, rhythmically - this is where dance originated - RESPECT! 💕

3:55 sheeeeshh

I need men to dance like this in the fete
Ong Black people can vibe to everything

The Jamaican aura stems from warriors and overcomers. The vibe behind these dance moves are a reflection of the likes of Queen nanny! Dutty Bukmon it’s almost as if fighting or going to war! In an art form! It’s warriors military style.

Great to see the west African dancers their moves are like a celebration of the victory! We still here Africa is the earth. Proud Jamaican here stolen from Ghana merge with my Tanio enter the Jamaican 🇯🇲 army! Soliders we deyahhhh

We need Ghana x South Africa 😂 like incredible zigi x limpopo boy

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Dancehall guys keep shooting and threatening... Am scared 😄

Oeeeh I loved watching this. Both different energies!! Both straight fayaaa 🔥🔥🔥

There where you have a lot of social steps in both dance styles, the dancehall group used that more!! Which was so enjoyable to watch 😍 solo parts felt similar tho 👀 and dancehall has a lot other types of songs that represented 🤷🏾‍♀️

group Africa did it ohhhhhh😍 and ehmeeeehhh how can you not love african music😍 the diversity and all the different styles that Africa represents were represented here ohhh! The Gyall dem also added alot of flavour to it , 😍☀️!

AndI saw alot of crazy tricks

Yeah fyah Battle and so Intresting to see the difference in energy of music 😮

Afro killed it

Afros had the legs, Jamaicans had the hands and they both rep the rest of body 😂💕 I love the energy from both cultures.

Great show, we'd eat both they lunch here in the states tho 💯 💪🏿

Its always full energy when we come together 🖤🖤🖤

Not a competition...at T'ALLLLLL

Dancehall is a men dance while Afro is both male and female, you can see it from the moves.
