France triumphs at INSTAX Playin’Paris festival

On May 24th, the FUJIFILM INSTAX Undisputed Breaking competition lit up the night as part of the Playin’Paris festival. Paris witnessed a breathtaking display of skill and artistry as the world’s elite breakers competed for glory under the iconic canopy of Les Halles. It gathered competitors from all over the world, including renowned breakers such as Bboy PacPac (FR), Ana Furia (ES) and Raygun (AUS).

With Kaê (FR) winning the Solo Men’s Battle, San Andrea (FR) triumphing in the Solo Women’s Battle, and French crew Los Crapulos taking the Crew Battle, the electrifying event culminated in a French clean sweep.

As breakers once revolutionised the dance scene in the 80s, they stand poised to ignite a new era for breakdancing. The FUJIFILM INSTAX brand is proud to continue to partner with Undisputed as breaking grows in stature and popularity. Together, we celebrated the bold spirit of these athletes who defy limits, push boundaries and put on incredible shows,” – Shin Udono, Senior Vice President of Imaging Solutions, FUJIFILM Europe.
