Calgary will be the scene of a dance battle Saturday night.

That's where the Red Bull BC One qualifier will take place, with a group of Calgary B-Boys and B-Girls competing against each other.

The event is one of three qualifiers for national finals on May 24 in Toronto. It will all be part of a high-profile spring for breaking, which will be an Olympic event for the first time, with Vancouver’s Phil Wizard representing Canada in Paris.

The winner will try to join Calgary B-Girl Sasha Fox and B-Boy Frescy, both of whom have already qualified as wild-card entries for the national finals in Toronto.

Red Bull BC One is a one-on-one breaking competition that features dancers from around the world. This year's world finals will take place on December 7 in Rio de Janeiro.
