South African breakdancer Courtnaé Paul once again emerged victorious at the Red Bull BC One South Africa dance competition, showcasing her skill and talent in a fiercely competitive event. This year’s competition was particularly intense, with a top eight line-up that posed a greater challenge than usual.

In a thrilling repeat of the 2024 final, Paul faced off against Keisha, the 2023 champion known for her musicality and footwork finesse. The battle between the two talented dancers brought out the best in both competitors, with Paul ultimately securing her second consecutive national title and third overall after also winning in 2021.

Reflecting on her win, Paul shared that her goal was to defend her title while also remaining open to the unpredictable nature of the competition. She emphasized the importance of giving her best effort regardless of the outcome, highlighting the dedication and preparation required to succeed in the world of breakdancing.

In the B-boy category, Toufeeq Baatjies claimed his third consecutive national title by defeating B-boy Jandre in a display of skill and athleticism. The growth of the B-girl category was also celebrated, with the expansion to a top-eight format showcasing the depth of female talent in South Africa.

Paul expressed her excitement about the increasing presence of B-girls in the breakdancing scene, noting that while there is still progress to be made, South African dancers are making their mark on the global stage. She highlighted the importance of challenging oneself to compete at an international level, pushing the boundaries of skill and creativity.

The rise of breakdancing competitions in South Africa, including Breaking For Gold and Undisputed Masters, has contributed to the growth of the dance community. The 18th edition of the Red Bull BC One tournament marked a significant milestone, with Red Bull’s continued investment in the culture of breakdancing opening doors to new opportunities and conversations.

With a focus on authenticity and individuality, Paul’s journey in breakdancing exemplifies dedication, passion, and a drive to push boundaries. As she prepares to compete on the world stage, she remains grounded in her mission to represent her country and continent with pride and excellence.
