Napalm is a Philadelphia-based breakdance artist.

The Red Bull-sponsored BC One competition announced today (Tuesday, July 21) that Philly's Napalm will be one of 16 b-boy dancers battling in its North American Final in August. 

Napalm has been "b-boying," or hip-hop breakdancing, since 1999 and has won titles across Europe and Asia. The North American Final will be held on Aug. 22 in Orlando, Florida, one of six qualifiers being held worldwide. The winner will head to the Palazzo Dei Congressi in Rome on Nov. 14 for the World Final. 

Red Bull BC One launched in 2003 as a worldwide tournament for b-boys and b-girls and resource for the breakdancing community.
