SA’s best B-boys and B-girls unite for gravity-defying Red Bull BC One Breakdance final

After a gruelling series of auditions held recently in Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth, 20 of the nation’s finest breakdancers have been carefully hand-picked to compete in one of the greatest events of its kind on the South African calendar – the Red Bull BC One Final South Africa 2019 taking place at The Shred Skatepark in Cape Town on 27 April.

The winner in the male category will be honoured by taking part in the biggest and most respected one-on-one B-boy competition in the world, the Red Bull BC One World Final, which will be held in Mumbai on 9 November. The winner in the B-girl category will receive a trophy and be crowned the Queen of the South African final, in the first-ever Red Bull B-girl final for South Africa.

The 20 B-boys who will battle each other to the last jaw-dropping move in Cape Town are Meaty (Cape Town), Krazy Kayzo (Durban), Miyagi (Cape Town), Ambrose (Cape Town), Jandré (George), Killy (Johannesburg), Bizzo (Durban), Smoke (East London), Lyan King (Cape Town), Chilo (Cape Town), Jordan (Johannesburg), Baby L (Cape Town), Kashief (Cape Town), Bax (Cape Town), Benny (Cape Town), Rhythm (Port Elizabeth), while the B-girls are Mids (Port Elizabeth), Vee (Cape Town), Foxxy (Cape Town), Keisha (Cape Town).

The judges of the final will be the lighter-than-air B-boy Menno (Netherlands), highly respected dancer and choreographer Vouks (South Africa) and Angelo. These legends of the B-boy culture will use their sharply tuned experience to select the next South African champ who will represent the country in the world finals. This discipline is one of the most technically complex forms of dance and the freedom to constantly create new moves makes the judging process extremely delicate.
