Breakdance Workshop with B-Boy Junior

A unique breakdance workshop with B-Boy Junior aimed at people with disabilities is organized at the SNFCC Agora, on Saturday September 10 at 18.00. During the workshop, the world-renowned B-Boy Junior will try to teach participants the first steps in breakdancing and pass on his love for dance.

As he had previously stated, “"I have always tried to turn my disability into an advantage. The best example is dancing. When I was little, I would dance along to Michael Jackson videos. To compensate for moves I couldn’t do, I came up with my own mix of gymnastics and martial arts – moves I could do on my hands.”

The workshop takes place as part of of Red Bull BC One, the biggest breakdance competition in the world that returns after 7 years in Greece. Immediately after the end of the workshop, at 19.00, 24 talented dancers will show on stage their dancing skills on the Red Bull BC One Cypher Greece and claim the title of the best Greek B-Boy and B-Girl, a chance to win the golden ticket at the BC One World Final. This year, after 18 years and many memorable world finals held in different cities, the final showdown will be held this year on November 12, 2022 in the birthplace of hip-hop in New York, for its 19th edition.

A few words about B-Boy Junior:

French Bosila Banya, aka B-Boy Junior, is one of the most iconic breakers in the history of the scene. Famous for his handstand acrobatics due to a leg disability, Junior has carved out a name for himself as a breaking legend in his own right. Under his belt are dozens of battle wins, solo and with his crew, spanning all the way from Battle of the Year in 2001 (with his crew Wanted Posse) and winning the Checkmate battle 2019 with the Red Bull BC One All Stars.
