Saweetie is taking her talents to the IDL. While she won’t be competing in the International Dance League, the Bay Area native is set to perform at the league’s inaugural event in New York City on May 2.
Tickets to the Hammerstein Ballroom competition are available on the IDL website for $44.99 to $64.99 plus taxes and fees. The event will bring six teams from across the globe, boasting various styles, to compete for the top spot.
“Movement is alchemy. You take something you feel, something you can’t even name, and you turn it into something people can see and feel across the world,” Saweetie said in a statement. “That’s what these dancers do. That’s what I try to do with music. IDL is putting both of those things on the same stage and I’m here for it.”
Clashing culture, competition and community, the six dance teams heading to NYC include Brotherhood (Vancouver), Quick Style (Oslo), Jam Republic (Singapore), GRV (Los Angeles), Royal Family (Auckland) and 1Million (Seoul).
“Dancers have been choreographing to Saweetie’s music for years. There’s a reason for that, the music moves,” said Connor Lim, cofounder and CEO of IDL, in a statement. “Having her halftime our first event in New York felt like a natural fit, the music and the moment line up perfectly.”
Following New York City’s season kickoff, the IDL will be making stops in Vancouver, B.C. (May 23), Sydney (June 20), Seoul (Aug. 1) and Los Angeles (Sept. 20).
On the music side, Saweetie hasn’t released a single yet in 2026. Back in August, the “My Type” rapper dropped her Hella Pressure EP.
