What: Break Dancing Competition
When: 6 May 2011- 6pm to 8pm
Where: The Pearl, Porto Arabia, 2 La Croisette

Red Bull ‘BreaKing’ competition will be returning to Qatar this Friday in the first stop of the Regional B-Boy Championship tour.

The Qatar round will take place at the Pearl Qatar from 6pm and 16 of the best Qatari B-Boys have already registered, the organisers said yesterday.

B-Boying which used to be referred to as ‘break dancing’ or ‘breaking,’ started during the late 1970s in the Bronx, New York and is a foundational element of the Hip Hop culture along with DJing, MCing and graffiti art.

The term ‘B-Boying,’ which refers to the dance, moves and lifestyle originated in New York and was coined by Kool Herc, one of the pioneering Hip Hop DJs throwing jams in the Bronx.
Today, an evolving and well connected B-Boy and B-Girl scene thrives around the world. South Korea, France and the US boast some of the most vibrant and talented candidates on the planet.

Red Bull BreaKing is a competition in which B-Boys face-off against each other in one-to-one battles to determine a local hero.

The competition will adopt a knockout format and following the Qatar leg of the competition, subsequent national battles will take place in different cities throughout the Middle East.
Two winners from each country will be flown to Jordan to compete for the 2011 Regional Red Bull BreaKing title.

The regional champion will have the chance to travel to Tokyo in November to compete with the best B-Boys at the Red Bull BC One, the world’s top B-Boy competition.

Innovative candidates are required to perform their best moves to the rhythm of the best music and songs and in front of Hong 10, former Red Bull BC One champion, who is going to be the main judge of this unique competition.
