==History==
[[File:Juste Debout Scandinavia 2008.JPG|thumb|Semifinal Juste debout Scandinavia 2008.]]
Juste Debout was initially held in 2002 in [[Paris]], [[France]], and has since then returned each year around February. The 2006 edition was the first to feature a number of linked events (so called ''pre-selections'') in countries outside of France, with the finals being held in Paris. This allowed Juste Debout to reach a larger and more international audience. 

Juste Debout 2007 was held on February 25 in Paris and featured international pre-selections starting as early as January in countries such as [[Germany]], [[Italy]], [[Japan]], [[Czech Republic]], [[Spain]], [[Sweden]] and [[Switzerland]].<ref name="eb">[http://www.juste-debout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1863 JUSTE DEBOUT 2008<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>  Jsmooth & Future from the dance [[crew]] MGF (Machine Gone Funk) in the [[USA]] won the Juste Debout [[Popping]] contest 2007. Manu & loïc from [[France]] won the [[Locking]]. Stéphanie & Dedson from [[Denmark]] and [[France]] won Hip-hop. Lastly, Hiro & Meech from [[Japan]] and [[France]] won the [[House dance]] contest.

Juste Debout 2009 was held on March 1st in the Bercy stadium in Paris. Kite & Fishboy(Former Action),won a close fought, all-Japanese final with last years winners Kei & Gucchon(Co-Thkoo). Dy & Steve won the Hip-hop against crowd's favourite Maika(10 y.o) & Kazane(12 y.o).

==Program==
The main events of Juste Debout consists of two on two [[battle (dance)|battles]] in which two dancers work as a team trying to outperform the opposite couple in a specific dance style category. The music is chosen by the Juste Debout [[DJ]]s and the dancers are not told of the songs in advance.

Normally, only one person dances at a time and the two teams take turns showing off. A battle finishes when each dancer has performed two times, resulting in a total of eight rounds, usually around a minute long each. Sometimes a team chooses to spontaneously replace or extend one of their rounds with a [[choreography|choreographed]] routine performed together for added effect, which is allowed. After each battle, a group of four judges decides the winning team, which moves them closer to the finals. In the end, a winning couple is chosen for each of the four dance style categories.

Outside of battles, the Juste Debout events often include a number of shows from both the judges and invited guests, as well as dance parties that are open for all to join.
