URS is a great contributor to the talented street culture communities based in the UAE and the region. We organise events, workshops and gatherings designed to raise the levels of knowledge, skill, talent, and create a platform for positive progression via self-expressive art forms, cultures and sports. We gather young and the old in a positive, competitive and safe environment, giving individuals the opportunity to progress through healthy competition. Everyone involved can hope to both, share their skills and in the process form bonds that form a stronger community. URS is always interested to hear of new communities or organisations wanting to collaborate or that need help establishing themselves. We also welcome sponsorship and collaboration proposals for our current and future events. For more information please contact [email protected]

URS offers the opportunity for everyone to learn and partake in any number of expressive art forms. If you are interested in learning or even teaching any type of sport or art form, please contact [email protected]

Often artistic cultures and sports are seen as a an activity that people partake in during free time, when it comes to Street Cultures, its more than that, its a lifestyle! we are not a hollywood story line or a corporate branding strategy, we are the real deal, so take the time to understand, respect and value who we are, what we do and where we are coming from.
