Baku Flow International Breakdancing Championship will take place for the first time in Azerbaijan, Azernews reports.
Organised by the Azerbaijan Dance Union, this event aims to combine Eastern culture with a modern vision of dance.
The name of the championship is inspired by the historical origin of the name of the city of Baku- The City of Wind, and in combination with the English word "Flow", a unique name for the championship is created to fully reveal its essence.
Over the last decade, breakdancing, or better known in the professional world as breaking, became an integral part of pop culture.
