Organised in a dynamic collaboration between the MxM Art Center and WDSF Breaking for Gold, this event serves as a critical proving ground for the next generation of B-Boys and B-Girls. The chosen venue, the historic and architecturally striking Centro de Congressos Alfândega do Porto (the Porto Customs Congress Centre), sits beautifully along the banks of the Douro River. This iconic space will be transformed into a high-octane arena where rhythm, urban culture, and elite sport seamlessly merge.
