Silverback Open Championships

The Silverback Open Championships was an international b-boying (breaking) competition held annually from 2014 through 2018 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and was regarded as one of the main International B-Boy Championships held every year. The event was part of the Urban Dance & Educational Foundation's Pro Breaking Tour and Undisputed's World B-boy Series. It featured some of the best and most well-known b-boys and b-girls around the world and received praise throughout the breaking community for the high level of competition and for providing a warm welcome to guests and competitors alike. Starting in 2015, the Silverback Open Championships partnered with the World B-Boy Series to help crown the Undisputed b-boy champion at the end of the calendar year. The Silverback Open was cancelled in 2019. [1][2]
