Dancers from our local area will hit the floor this weekend on Manhattan’s Lower East Side to see who has the best moves and flips at a breaking competition. 

The 18th iteration of Red Bull BC One kicks off Saturday. Organizers say it’s the largest global breaking competition and will proudly celebrate the birthplace of breaking and the legendary figures within the scene,

Breakdancing started as a part of hip-hop culture in the early '70s. Hip-hop began in the south Bronx, mostly as a way for young people to have a good time and express themselves. Breakdancers from the around the world continue the tradition decades later.

The Red Bull BC One competition, known as a cypher, takes place this weekend at Rooftop Legend on Grand Street. 

B-Girl Marta and B-Boy Prevail are competing and spoke with NY1’s Dean Meminger.
