B-Boy Benny, South Africa’s 2019 champion who represented the country in Mumbai, India is excited for the upcoming 2020 competition. “It was great to meet the new generation of breakers from around the world in India last year. The scene has evolved and I’m incredibly excited to see the new local B-Boys and B-Girls from South Africa compete in this year’s competition” says Benny.

The Red Bull BC One weekend not only features the national final but a full-day workshop which is free for all breaking enthusiasts to attend on Saturday, 21 March 2020 at The Quay at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town. Breakers will 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 District the very next day for the chance to represent South Africa in Poland in November 2020. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn from the best in the game and possibly showcase skills on the world stage.
