Red Bull BC One's line-up this year is alive and kicking, with 11 different nations represented by 16 of the baddest dancers on the planet.
Brazil – Neguin
France – Lilou and Punisher
Germany – Lil Ceng
Holland – Menno
Japan – Kaku
Korea – Wing and Differ
Portugal – Lagaet
Russia – Flying Buddha
Ukraine – Kolobok
USA – Thesis, Cloud, Morris and Kid Glyde
Venezuela – Lil G
The US will be represented by four b-boys. Anticipation is building as returning Red Bull BC One champions Wing from Korea (Paris 2008) and Lilou from France (Berlin 2005) could both be major contenders. Kid Glyde, son of Glyde from the Dynamic Rockers, has been dancing since the age of three and now represents the crew’s second generation, with mentorship from his teachers Kid Freeze, K-Mel, B-Boy Ivan and Storm. Thesis from Seattle, Morris from Sacramento and Cloud from Los Angeles are holding down all corners of the west coast. But the thriving b-boy scenes in countries such as Germany, Japan, Holland, Korea and France make it hard to predict who will walk away with the Red Bull BC One title.
In the meantime, tickets for the event on November 18, 2009 at the Hammerstein Ballroom are sold out!
