Logistx's best moments at the World Final
The 18th World Final saw B-Girl Logistx crowned the new world champion. Check out her best moments here.
- Crews: Underground Flow, BreakinMIA and Red Bull BC One All Stars
- Country: USA
- Breaking since: 2011
- Red Bull BC One 2021 champion
Next up is Logistx, a young dynamo who dove into the world of breaking at just seven. Drawn in by the exciting moves and a local b-girl who defied the male-dominated scene, she swiftly made her mark with her superior power moves, extraordinary musicality and flow. Her father, seeing her propensity for a systematic approach to her actions, fittingly named her Logistx. As she honed her skills, she learned hip-hop and street dance styles with California's renowned choreographers, resulting in a distinctive fusion style featuring her signature 'figure-four 90' flash kick combo.
Elevating breaking from street cyphers to global platforms like packed theatres, TV shows and respected stages worldwide, Logistx uses her dance to tackle societal issues, promote equality and honour her roots. Her battle prowess first shone in 2018, when she clinched the Silverback Open B-Girl solo competition in Philadelphia, USA, followed by triumphs at Singapore's Radikal Forze Jam and, more significantly, the 2021 Red Bull BC One World Final – all by the age of 18.
Logistx's meteoric rise belies the challenges she faced. To her, breaking is a spiritual journey, a catharsis from past traumas and hardships. When she breaks, she feels at home, empowered and superhero-like, drawing strength and resilience from the very essence of this art born from struggle. Now a respected instructor in South Florida, she's using her platform to advance mental health awareness and support non-profit and outreach centres. As she continues to expand her understanding of dance, choreography, art and music, she hopes to inspire others to chase their passions.

- Country: Netherlands
- Breaking since: 2014

B-Girl India hails from The Hague, Netherlands. Infusing confidence from her soccer-playing days into her dance, India swapped hip-hop classes for breaking at the tender age of seven, craving more exhilarating adventures. Fearlessly diving into the most challenging power moves, she quickly emerged as a vibrant presence on the breaking scene.

Presently, India is a proud member of Heavyhitters and Hustlekidz crews, drawing inspiration from her fellow breakers, including Portugal's B-Girl Vanessa and B-Boy Menno. Her signature style doesn't centre around a single move, but an entire approach - powerful, creative, dynamic and meticulous, exemplified by her head swipe and back slide combo. 2022 marked her foray into high-level events, with a proud semi-final finish at Outbreak and winning the Red Bull BC One title. In 2024, she won Red Bull BC One again, this time side-by-side with crewmate Menno.
Beyond the dance floor, she relishes time with friends and family, her father being her staunchest supporter and her talented bachata dancer mother and avid fan. India envisions a future where she combines her love for travel and breaking and hopes to impart her skills to the next generation.
