Low pressure Hip-Hop freestyle session

Finally a dance event! And an update on it too.

WARNING: it requires you to buy a 75kr ticket at https://www.roomformore.no/events/oslo-hiphop-freestyle-2026-07/

HOW TO FIND US: The address is Marstrandgata 8, but the door is around the corner on Stockholmgata — not on Marstrandgata. Ring the doorbell at street level and we'll buzz you in, then take the stairs to the top floor. No lift, sorry. Lost? Call Martin on 98441663.

A community member, Michelle, reached out wanting to host a hip-hop freestyle session, and I'm helping her put it together.

Sadly had to delay: first time she's hosting anything, first time we're running this format, so there were some things to sort out, but now we finally have a studio for the dance session.

Saturday 1 August, 19:00-21:00. Moved from the original 25 July I know some of you already RSVP'd for.

We've got a real room this time: Rom for Dans at Marstrandgata 8 in Oslo (entrance via Stockholmgata), a proper dance space with a mirror and sound system already in it.

Heads up though, it's not huge, 65 square meters (Lille produksjonsrom), so don't picture a big hall. Booked 19:00 to 21:00.

Thanks to some people in the community for helping make this room happen!

Because the room actually costs money this time, this is the first Room for More event I'm charging for: 75 kr per person, goes to pay for the studio, and if there is anything left, then that will go into Room for More (products, hosting, etc).

Buy your ticket on the Room for More website, that's what actually reserves your spot,
RSVP here on Meetup too if you want but the ticket is the real one. Link: https://www.roomformore.no/events/oslo-hiphop-freestyle-2026-07/

The plan:
a short personal intro, a bit of hip-hop history (oldschool vs newschool, where it actually comes from), then a warm-up where Michelle shows basic moves and everyone follows along, easing into a walking cypher so nobody's thrown straight into the deep end.

Michelle also got something new called "Animation," basically miming, an idea she brought up while we were planning this. It could be a fun for people who've never done anything hip-hop before.

If time and mood allow there might be a round or two more on top, built so nobody has to do something they don't want.

There is also a fun concept where we can make a dance move/set that matches your name/personality.

No experience needed, and no pressure to be good at any of it.
This is about moving, having fun, and getting a little more comfortable dancing with other people, not a performance.

I'll actually be there this time too, just not as the main host, mostly logistics and a speaker. I also really want to participate, even though I'm shy with dancing haha.

Cost: 75 kr, ticket on the website (link above), goes towards the room.

Music: either the speaker I bring, or the speakers in the studio if that's an option.

Venue: Rom for Dans, Marstrandgata 8, Oslo (entrance via Stockholmgata). Room is 65 sqm, so it's cosy rather than huge.

Language: English and Norwegian both fine, depending on who shows up.

When / where: Saturday 1 August, 19:00-21:00, at Rom for Dans, Marstrandgata 8 (entrance Stockholmgata).

If you already RSVP'd for the 25th, sorry for the shuffle, hope 1 August still works for you.

Comment here or message me if you've got questions.

One last thing:
I'm Martin, and Room for More runs stuff like this fairly often, on top of the regular weekly lineup, mingle on Wednesdays, pub crawl on Fridays, board games on Mondays, and calisthenics on Saturdays. All of it's about improving the social life of people in Oslo, the way I wish someone had done for me. If you want to see what else is going on, it's all on the website, with WhatsApp and email updates linked there too: https://www.roomformore.no/
