Funk it up!

Bonnaroo’s Funkiest Dancer is a dance competition for Bonnaroovians the world over. We’re not looking for a “cool” dancer. We’re not looking for a “hip” dancer. We seek the raw, uninhibited, homegrown funkiest dancer that ever was.

And we know who you are. Behind that humble facade lies a spirit so full of pure funk that every shake of the hips, every rattle of the waist, every roll and undulation reverberates across the universe, and it brings this little blue dot a little closer to perfection. So, why hold out? Why deny humanity that gift?

WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU, YOU FUNKY, FUNKY DANCER.
SHOW YOURSELF.

Prizes

So why would you want to be Bonnaroo’s Funkiest Dancer? The eternal glory and fame, obviously. But there are also a few cool prizes. First, Bonnaroo’s Funkiest Dancer will get a chance to perform at Bonnaroo on the Main Stage. That means you’re going to get VIP treatment and a whole lot of access to the festival. Don’t be lonely at the top. Bring your funkiest friend along, and you’ll both receive round trip travel and hotel accommodations. Bonnaroo’s Funkiest Dancer will be crowned with the Funkiest Dancer Dance Belt of Golden Glory, exactly what it sounds like minus actual gold. In addition to that, you’ll get all the swag you can eat, a merch shopping spree up to $250, and some other crazy Bonnaroo fodder. Who knows how deep this treasure trove goes!
