I can hardly believe it’s been 10 years. When Rick and I first started the Sweet 16 in 2007, our goal was to build community around an event that focused on unbiased judging, and showcasing the local Northwest talent. Since then, we have expanded to every corner of the country and even Europe and Asia.

This year is special because not only is it our 10 year anniversary, but we also will be returning to a newly renovated Washington Hall. The competition will feature a 5 on 5 b-boy/b-girl crew competition, a 5 vs 5 all style competition, and of course, the Sweet 16 invite only bracket with the most talented breakers from the Northwest. Cash and trophies for the winners, and the Sweet 16 winner invited to compete in the Sweet 16 world finals in Sacremeneto.
