World Breaking Classic is the biggest 2on2 Breakdance Championship in the world. With an impressive social media following exceeding 2 million and past livestreams attracting over 100,000 views, each edition consistently amasses over 2 million YouTube views.
For the first time, the World Breaking Classic India qualifier will take place at Malad, Mumbai where dancers across India will be showing up to participate in the event. This qualifier has been organised by Ramesh Yadav aka TORNADO who is a prominent figure in the Indian Breaking scene. Four time National Champion, Ramesh has represented India in numerous competitions.
He was the sole Indian to progress past the pre-selection stage, showcasing his skill on an international level at the Asian Breaking Championship 2023. Along with this, he became the first Indian qualifier in his category, by reaching the top 26 in the 2023 Japan Olympics. He wants to elevate India's status in the global Breaking community.
