Season 9
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.
