Breaking has a long history and is a crucial component of hip-hop, which this year marks its 50th birthday. Breaking is evolving along with hip-hop, transcending its Bronx roots to appeal to audiences around the world and become a sport that is widely known. Across generations, thriving break communities have developed the culture that supports break while pushing the competitive street dance to new heights.

The Red Bull BC One World Final, which celebrated the beginnings of breakdance and hip-hop, was held in New York City the previous year.
