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.
The Red Bull BC One World Final 2015 took place in Rome on November 14, bringing together 16 of the world's best B-Boys for spectacular battles. Victor (USA) won the final after some creative performances that saw him defeat Bruce Almighty (Portugal). This was Victor's first world title, as he impressed the judges with his style and mastery of transitions, cementing his status as one of the greats of international breaking. This year's judges included Focus, Poe One, Cico, Lamine, and Wing, and the atmosphere at the Palazzo dei Congressi was marked by a very hip-hop and festive energy.
