Breaking is one of Hip Hop culture's original four elements, and as the culture celebrates five decades this year, the dance is experiencing its own evolution. Breakdancing is now a globally recognized and respected sport, transcending its origins in the Bronx and reaching worldwide audiences. Last year's Red Bull BC One World Final took place in Hip-Hop's birthplace of New York City, honoring the origins of the culture. B-Boy Victor of The United States and B-Girl India of The Netherlands beat the competition securing the historic win. B-Girl India dethrones 2021's Red Bull BC One World Champion making her the youngest B-Girl to ever hold the prestigious title.
“Over the next year, it will be important - now more than ever - to uplift breakers and communities that have transformed this artform into an official sport," B-Boy Victor said in a statement. "While breaking has come a long way, we must honor the pioneers who started the craft.”
