Freestyle Session
Freestyle Session is a b-boy competition held every year which crowns the best crew in the world. It is sanctioned by the Urban Dance & Educational Foundation and part of the Pro Breaking Tour and Undisputed's World BBoy Series. Originally held only in the United States, Freestyle Session is now being recognized worldwide. Most years have featured a 3 on 3 battle, but formats have varied over the years, from a 2 on 2 to a 10 on 10 full crew battle. Freestyle Session is most well known as a b-boy event, but has also featured b-girl, youth breaking, popping, and open styles competitions, among others [1]
In 2013, Freestyle Session set off to raise the bar of International Competition with a series of events from local preliminaries to Regional Qualifiers and ultimately the Freestyle Session World Finals to find out who is the best crew in the World. Since 2014, Freestyle Session partnered up with The World BBoy Series and helped create Undisputed, an event to crown the solo world bboy champion.[2]
