The journey to the 2024 Olympic Games is well underway for dozens of dancers around the globe who hope to secure a spot to compete when breaking makes its athletic debut on the world's stage.
NEW YORK — Breaking is in Victor Montalvo's blood. He is a descendant of twin breakers — his father and uncle — who were performing in Mexico long before they taught a young Montalvo to spin on his back.
Along with Colón, first generation b-boy Trixie sat near a circular stage in the center of Manhattan's Hammerstein Ballroom. One by one, Red Bull BC One World Final competitors from Canada, China, France, Italy, Kazakhstan, South Korea and Venezuela took to the battle stage. The energy drink beverage company runs the world's largest breaking competition.
The Trivium judging system, created for the debut of breaking at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires, is a digital scoring platform that allows judges to react in real time to breakers' physical, artistic and interpretative qualities or their"body, mind and soul." A panel of five judges scores each breaker on creativity, personality, technique, variety, performativity and musicality.
At the end of the process, 16 b-boys and 16 b-girls will be allowed to compete over two days at the iconic Place de la Concorde, an outdoor public square in Paris. B-BOY YU-KI During a Red Bull BC One quarterfinal round battle against Japan's Yuki Minatozaki, Montalvo transitioned from a windmill into a downrock move in which his legs moved back and forth so quickly that they looked like turning Double Dutch ropes. Minatozaki responded with a smirk, half-hearted applause and sarcastic thumbs up — all in the spirit of good sportsmanship — before exploding into a headspin and showcasing energetic standing footwork.
B-GIRL LOGISTXSardjoe defeated 19-year-old Logan Edra, also known as B-girl Logistx, who won last year's Red Bull BC One World Final in Gdansk, Poland. Hailing from San Diego, Edra began breaking at age eight, after first training in ballet and jazz. Her father nudged her into hip hop lessons. "The moment that I understood that I have more responsibility for myself, I put more work into breaking and I got the opportunities to be here," Chalen, 27, said ahead of the Red Bull BC One World Final.
