About Red Bull BC One

The Red Bull BC One Story

Since its birth in the late 70s, b-boying has been announced dead several times, but it's still alive and kicking. Today a vibrant and well connected b-boy scene exists worldwide.

One of the premiere b-boy competitions is Red Bull BC One, where 16 of the world's best B-Boys meet to compete one-on-one to determine The One.

Extraordinary artistic skills, an outstanding character and a good reputation in the community are the success formula to get selected as a dancer for the Red Bull BC One. The challenge lies in finding influential dancers from all continents ready to set new standards and showing state of the art breaking.

B-Boy battles have their roots in ONE vs. ONE competitions. During the past 15 years one-on-one battles have been pushed to the background as crew competitions became more popular at the big events. Red Bull's objective was to go back to the roots and show b-boying in the most spectacular and powerful way.

After an auspicious start in Biel, Switzerland (2004) the battle moved to Berlin, Germany 2005, and Sao Paulo, Brazil (2006). The 2007 Red Bull BC One Battle took place in Johannesburg, South Africa on September 22nd. This year’s battle will be held in Paris, France.
