R16 Philippines is an annual global b-boy tournament known as the R16 Global Series, and with the R16 South East Asia finals taking place throughout a 3 weekend urban arts cultural festival in Manila. The main event features solo and crew b-boy battles and performance contests, as well as solo Allstyles, Popping and Locking battles.
Over twenty R16 Championships take place in numerous countries around the globe to determine the competitors for the World Finals, taking place in Seoul, South Korea.
The 3 week-long festival includes graffiti artists, streetwear designers, Hip Hop concerts, popping battles, locking battles, other performances and multimedia experiences.
“Respect” is the enduring theme that makes the “R” in R16, and the R16 World Finals Championship is one of the most respectable sought-after titles in the street dance culture. As a street dancer, holding the R16 title opens up numerous opportunities worldwide. The first R16 took place in 2007 and the event has since encompassed all aspects of urban youth cultures; taking the street movement to a higher level.
All this and more is made possible by World Vibe Productions.
