Season 6
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 2009 New-York
On November 18, 2009 a new chapter of B-Boy history was written in the birthplace of Hip Hop, New York City. The Red Bull BC One shook iconic music venue Hammerstein Ballroom to its core. Sixteen B-Boys from eleven countries battled with pride in front of a sold-out crowd of more than 1,600 enthusiastic fans.
French B-Boy Lilou took home the honor of being "The One" for the second time, a first in Red Bull BC One's six-year history. It was no easy task for Lilou, as all the night's competitors put their best foot forward, or rather up. Lilou defeated USA's Cloud, who had a comeback after a four-year hiatus touring with Madonna, in a three-round intense finals face-off. In the end, Lilou’s character, style and confidence prevailed.
