A series of shows and workshops will take place in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney from 14 to 30 August. Benny (RSA), Hong 10 (KOR), Lilou (FRA), Physicx (KOR), Roxrite (USA), Ben-J (SEN) and Pelézinho (BRA) make up the crew and are sure to get the crowds screaming with their intricate footwork combined with original power moves.
The tour is a taste of what can be expected at the annual Shadow Wars competition, commonly touted as one of the premiere breaking events in Australia. Come November, Paris, France will be heating up to host the 2008 Red Bull BC1. Previously, hosts have included Johannesburg, São Paulo and Berlin.
The Red Bull BC One Exhibition Tour winds up in Sydney with the international guests judging Australia's best Bboys in the Shadow Wars III event, ultimately deciding who Australia's best is. Now in its third year, Shadow Wars is taking Australian breaking to the next level. Supported by Red Bull & Rockstar Games, the prize pool includes cash and a trip for Australia's best Bboy to attend the Red Bull BC One in Paris, France.
"Red Bull's support of breaking in Australia is great. Bringing out Bboys of this standard shows the level of breaking internationally and really helps the development of the local scene" says Shadow Wars event director, Mason Rose.
All of the exhibition shows are free to attend. For more information, head to www.redbull.com.au and follow the links to Red Bull BC One Exhibition Tour & www.sevenshadows.com.
