International Championship in Kpop Cover Dance
Produced by NärCon and the NCC
What is the NKC?
With the NärCon Kpop Championship our goal is to show the world Kpop Cover Dancing at its best. We create a stage for our finalists to show off their skills and love for the Kpop music genre. In this championship the participants will compete against other dance troupes in performing the best Kpop dance routine as close to the original song and choreography as possible.
The Winners of NKC
The winning troupe will receive, besides the glory of being this year's winners of the NKC, tickets to a Kpop concert of their choice and a luxurious trophy to bring home. In addition, we have trophies for second and third place.
