Red Bull BC One is an annual international breakdancing (B-Boy) competition, established in 2004. The competition is organised by the beverage company Red Bull. Its first event was held in Biel, Switzerland in 2004.
The competition's main event is a knockout tournament, featuring sixteen break dancers. The format involves one-on-one battles judged by a panel of five experienced judges
Red Bull BC One's has regional finals held in various parts of the world, including North America, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. These regional winners compete in the World Finals, representing their regions internationally.
In the 2004 and 2005 events Red Bull BC released an official video that has been criticized due to restrictive music playing rights, as the live music played during the competition had to be dubbed over. From 2006 onwards, Red Bull stopped releasing DVDs and made the videos available online for free. In 2007, Alastair Siddons directed a film about the Red Bull BC One 2007 competition. The film was released in 2009 under the title, Turn it Loose.
Since 2014, Red Bull BC One has partnered with the World B-Boy Series to help create Undisputed, which crowns a solo world B-Boy champion.
