Headquartered in Eindhoven, Netherlands, World Breaking Classic (WBC) is the world's most prestigious 2vs2 breaking competition. Every year, eight of the most unique and influential dancers are invited to the WBC World Final, where they are mixed into duos to battle to become that year's Classic Duo. Their opponents are the Challengers, who have either won one of WBC’s worldwide qualifiers or made their way to the World Final to try their luck in the Last Chance Cypher, Kids Qualifier or Bgirl Qualifier.

Born in the 1970s in the Bronx, New York, as part of hip hop, World Breaking Classic represents the essence of breaking—an artform that is slated to make its Olympics debut at the 2024 Paris Summer Games. WBC works to keep the vibe as it’s always been intended—raw, in a packed arena, with a hype atmosphere. Moreover, WBC makes room for partners to join the movement and uplift the scene to new heights.

Since the inaugural World Final in 2009, WBC has established itself as a worldwide brand and championship that feeds the largest 2v2 breaking community with dedicated content while expanding the culture to new fans. Guided by that mission, the WBC values being true to culture, authentic, classic, fast, powerful and inclusive. 

WBC’s myriad of platforms include content creation, campaigns, partnerships and collaborations, activations and events. Moreover, WBC believes in building meaningful brand partnerships through co-creation, a process that has fostered a proud and vast following around the world.
