AFTER a gruelling series of auditions, 20 of South Africa’s finest break dancers have been selected to compete in the Red Bull BC One Final South Africa 2019 at the Shred Skatepark in Paarden Eiland on April 27 from 6pm.

The winner in the male category will get to take part in the Red Bull BC One World Final in Mumbai, India, in November.

The winner in the B-Girl category will receive a trophy and be crowned queen.

This is the first Red Bull B-girl final for South Africa.

The breakers who will battle each other are B-Boys 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) and Rhythm (Port Elizabeth); and B-Girls Mids (Port Elizabeth), Vee (Cape Town), Foxxy (Cape Town) and Keisha (Cape Town).

The judges will be B-Boy Menno (Netherlands), dancer and choreographer Vouks (South Africa) and Angelo.

Throughout the night, DJs, including Ryan the DJ and DJ realROZZANO, will be breaking it down with the hip hop and deep rhythms needed to inspire these gravity-defying athletes and to keep the breakers spinning.

Other performances at the event include Niko10Long, Kixi and Floyu.

The day before the finals, fans will be treated to a break dance workshop hosted by Menno at Tailored Fit Gym (58 Victoria Road, corner of Woodlands Road in Woodstock), giving the public the opportunity to engage face to face with the legend of break dance, and to learn some basic moves.

The workshop will be free and it is recommended to arrive as early as possible before it starts at 6pm.
