Today, the prestigious one-on-one breaking competition Red Bull BC One reveals the U.S. line-up for its 2021 season. The competition will shine a light on the thriving breaking communities across the U.S. with four regional qualifiers (“City Cyphers”) hosted in New York, Los Angeles, Boston, and Houston. Following these City Cyphers, sixteen of the nation’s top B-Boys and B-Girls will battle at the National Final in Orlando for a spot at the Red Bull BC One World Final and a chance to be crowned world champion.

In celebration of breaking’s roots, Red Bull BC One kicks off in New York City, the birthplace of hip hop and breaking, on July 24th. City-specific stories throughout the month pay homage to the rich history and legendary figures who paved the way for today’s B-Boys and B-Girls at a unique moment in breaking’s trajectory with its recognition as an official competitive sport taking over international headlines.

Red Bull BC One All Star Neguin, who splits his time between New York and Brazil, emphasizes how this year’s event has a different energy: “Bringing Red Bull BC One back to New York City, the foundation of our culture, gives the community a chance to embrace the scene’s transformation while honoring the legacy of those who came before.”
