Urban Dancers Make News Again in the Global Scene

3 months ago, our 'bgirl' Tiara placed third in the Latin final of Red Bull BC One, the world's largest breakdance competition, which returned to Latin America after 8 years.

Now, it was 'bboy' Alexis' turn. Our representative from Piura, at only 16 years old, became the double champion of the "Crash Fest Battle," an international competition that took place within the pre-World Final Camp of Red Bull BC One. This event will be held this Saturday at the iconic Roland-Garros stadium in Paris, France.

Alexis not only took home the trophy as the best, but he was also chosen by the audience as the most outstanding breakdancer of the day. His great performance and head spins on stage not only thrilled the fans in the stands, but also the participants and rivals, who celebrated each dance with great emotion.

Breakdance is a variant of urban dance that includes elements of rap and hip-hop culture. It has been included in the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which has elevated its relevance to global levels.

This Saturday, the World Final of Red Bull BC One will take place at Roland-Garros and will be broadcast live (11am) through Red Bull TV and the TikTok Red Bull Latino account. Spanish-speaking representatives of Hip Hop culture in Latin America will be the commentators.
