- Final Dancer Line Up Announced, 11 Countries Represented -
NEW YORK, Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Sixteen dancers will represent eleven
different flags on November 18, 2009 for the most important b-boy competition
on the planet, Red Bull BC One.
Hand-picked by experts, the cream of the crop will duke it out head-to-head in
the place where it all began -- New York City. Without further a due..
Brazil - Neguin
Japan - Katsu
Ukraine - Flying Buddah, Kolobak
France - Lilou, Punisher
Korea - Wing, Differ
USA - Thesis, Cloud, Morris, Kid Glyde
Germany - Lil Ceng
Portugal - Lagaet
Venezuela - Lil G
Holland - Mennoh
Russia - Kolobak
This is the first time the Red Bull BC One championships have landed on
American soil which means fresh blood is coming in on the scene. Four American
b-boys are in this year's line-up that could easily snatch the prize. Kid
Glyde, son of Glyde from the Dynamic Rockers, has been dancing since the age
of 3 and now represents the crew's second generation with help from his mentor
Kid Freeze. Thesis from Seattle, WA, Morris of Sacramento, CA and Cloud from
Los Angeles, CA are holding down all corners of the west coast and could end
up being the silent but deadly competition.
This year, there are two returning Red Bull BC One champions in the mix. Wing
from Korea (Paris -2008) and Lilou of France (Berlin- 2005) could end up being
the double threat.
Kolobak of the Ukraine and Russia will be wearing two hats and will represent
both countries. This is a first for the competition.
The thriving b-boy scenes in countries such as Germany, Japan, Holland, Korea
and France make it hard to pinpoint who the favorite will be as the talent
coming from Brazil, Russia, Venezuela and Portugal are a force to be reckoned
with.
The anticipation is building; some of the most influential leaders in hip-hop
culture will be under one roof, for one amazing night, to determine who really
is the ONE.
Stay tuned for more news on featured performers, side shows and special
guests.
