We’re three weeks away from crowning the new Red Bull BC One dance champion for 2020.
The world’s most prestigious breakdancing competition returns, with the national finals taking place on Sunday, 22 March, at The District in Cape Town.
Who will follow in the footsteps of last year’s winner B-Boy Benny?
There are currently 16 boys and two girls in the running for the title and we’re amped to see who will impress and represent South Africa at the Red Bull One World International Championships in Poland in November.
Besides the Red Bull BC One finals, there will also be a full day of workshopping, which is free for all enthusiasts to attend on Saturday, 21 March, at The Quay at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town.
The B-Boy wildcards showing their moves in the national final will be B-Boy Benny, B-Boy The Curse, B-Boy Toufeeq, B-Boy Meaty, B-Boy Shorty Blitz, B-Boy Charlton, B-Boy Kayzo, B-Boy Rhythm, B-Boy LyanKing and B-Boy Kashief.

The B-Girl final will be taking place on the same day with the B-girl wildcards being announced in due course.
We can, however, reveal that one of SA’s hottest B-Girls, Courtnaé Paul, is one of them.
The internationally recognised choreographer and DJ is an entertainment powerhouse who has grown into a force to be reckoned with in the industry.
Courtnaé is an ambassador for women in the industry and a pioneer for local female breakdancers. She lives life with no limits in sight.
TITLEHOLDER: B-Boy Benny
Red Bull’s Mike Pocock says Breakers will also be given the opportunity to make the Last Chance Qualifiers ahead of the national final, where six B-Boys and two B-Girls will be chosen to compete at The District the very next day for the chance to represent South Africa in Poland in November.
