**Breaking Takes Center Stage on Day One**
Saturday, August 15th, will be a dedicated day for the raw power and intricate footwork of Breaking. Competitors will face off in a variety of categories, catering to a wide range of ages and specialties. From intense 1x1 battles for b-boys and b-girls in age groups spanning 4-6, 7-9, 10-12, and 13-15 years, to open-age Power Move and B-Girl 1x1 categories, the floor will be set for explosive performances. The day culminates with the highly competitive 1x1 PRO 16+ battle, where seasoned breakers will vie for supremacy. Esteemed judges such as BBOY SUROVY from Perm, BBOY KOLOBOK from Volgograd, and BBOY AZAR from Krasnodar will be on hand to assess the intricate moves and creative flow of the participants.
**Diverse Styles Dominate Day Two**
The energy continues on Sunday, August 16th, as the battleground shifts to encompass a broader spectrum of street dance. Hip-Hop 1x1 battles will feature divisions for both beginners and pros, separated by age (under 13 and 14+). Krump 1x1 will also see both beginner and pro divisions, open to all ages, promising powerful and expressive performances. Finally, the "All Styles" 1x1 category will challenge dancers to demonstrate their versatility and mastery across various genres, again with beginner and pro divisions open to all ages. A stellar panel of judges, including MARDI from Ivanovo for Hip-Hop and All Styles, and girl Whiphead from Moscow for Krump and All Styles, will bring their expert eyes to the stage.
This event is not just a competition; it's a critical moment for the development of street dance culture in Russia. It provides invaluable exposure for emerging talents and a thrilling experience for spectators, showcasing the passion, dedication, and innovation that define these dynamic art forms.
