Red Bull BC One is the world's largest breakdancing competition. Every year, thousands of dancers compete for a spot in the world finals. The world's 16 best B-boys and B-girls will compete in breakdancing battles for the Red Bull BC One World Champion belt. B-Boying/B-Girling, or breakdancing as it is used in the media, is a dance style that originated on the streets of New York in the 1970s. It is one of the four pillars of hip-hop culture, along with DJing, MCing, and graffiti. Over time, the breakdancing scene has grown, with active communities spanning the globe. Each year, dancers and crews push the boundaries of breakdancing, shaping an art form unlike any other.
01. Red Bull BC One World Final 2011 Moscow
On this cold Russian November night, more than 2,000 fans came out to the Old Moscow Circus and really felt the heat as Red Bull BC One, the B-Boy World Championship, set up camp in the historical building. The old arena that usually sees artistic circus performers and horses was host to the world's best B-Boys showcasing their awe-inspiring acrobatic talent. It was Roxrite, the strategic battle B-Boy, who convinced the judges and crowd with a complete performance. His combination of clean moves, his musicality, his almost unnatural ability to stick freeze combinations and his unique style brought him the win. The Red Bull BC One Moscow was Roxrite’s third attempt at the title, having made it to the finals of Red Bull BC One in 2007 and 2008, which only increased his determination.
