On the afternoon of December 5, at the Saigon Central Post Office (HCMC), candidates for the artLIVE Breaking Championship 2025 contest had a fierce competition to win tickets to the next round.
This is one of the opening activities and also the highlight of the Street Art Festival - Saigon Urban Street Fest season 3 in 2025, taking place from December 5 to 7.
Ms. Trang Duong - head of the organizing committee - said that artLIVE Breaking Championship is a playground for "street warriors". It also creates conditions for professional dancers to express their own identity, personality and style.
The judges are Khanh Thi, Alexander Tu, MC Buck and Choco Liu. Choco Liu is from Taiwan. He is an A-class international referee and national breaking coach.
Dancesport Grandmaster Khanh Thi said her mission is to spread the art of dancing so that more people can access it. That is also the reason she accepted to be a judge, and at the same time hopes to support dancers who are passionate about the profession but have not had the opportunity to shine.
“Through this competition, we introduce talented young people to professional competitions and community exchange programs, bringing them to more audiences,” Khanh Thi emphasized.

Regarding the judging criteria, MC Buck told Tuoi Tre Online : "I have high requirements for technique, you must have a basic foundation in hip hop, dancing...; the ability to feel music is also very important and the style of expressing personality on a specific musical background is also important."
Judge Choco Liu commented that the street dance community in Vietnam is growing very quickly. The dancers are ambitious, passionate, and confident in expressing their own identity. The authenticity in street dance creates attraction, this is the reason I want to return to Vietnam to see what the young people bring to the stage.
In this festival space, young people can participate in folk games; jewelry and accessory making workshops; and admire large-scale graffiti with the theme Be Vietnam by artist Nguyen Cong Danh - champion of artLIVE Graffiti Championship 2024 .
In particular, visitors can also enjoy music and interact closely with two guest singers, Orange and Duong Domic, on the afternoons of December 6 and 7.
