Factory Kingz
Daugavpils school of breaking "Factory Kingz" was established in 2006. Since that time some school graduates have been continuing dance career in seven countries: Sweden, Belarus, Poland, Germany, Scotland, Russia and Latvia.

In 2019 “Factory Kingz” have won Worldvide “Snipes Battle of the Year Kids 2019” in Montpelier (France) after receiving Wild Card from BOTY organizers. Next day after winning kids competition “Factory Kingz” made a show on big stage at opening ceremony of 30th “Battle of the Year” together with BOTY legends of all times. As bboy Storm said before the main event starts: “It would be great to share the stage with you guys”.

In 2018 "Factory Kingz" have won Central Europe eliminations to "Snipes Battle of the Year 2018" (in "BOTY" Kids and "BOTY" Pro categories) in Zurich. BOTY organizers allowed "Factory Kingz" to participate in "BOTY" World Finals just in Pro not in Kids category, that’s why we became the first kids crew in history, and the youngest one (8- 15 years old kids), who have ever been participating in "Battle of the Year" World Finals since 1991. We’ve got 16th result (from 17 crews) in "Snipes Battle of the Year 2018" World Finals and think it’s a great job of our kids, coach, town and country. It’s just the beginning.

In 2018 the coach of “Factory Kingz” Andžejs An-Juicy Začiņajevs became a breaking ambassador of Latvia. The functions are – main contactperson in country with international dancers and managers, promotion of Latvian dancers and events abroad, contact and sharing information with ambassadors form another countries.

In 2016 "Factory Kingz" celebrated school’s 10th anniversary with a special guest Ken Swift (Rock Steady Crew / 7 Gems / Breaklife) from the USA. Warm up cyphers, battles, workshops, panel discussion about the history of hip-hop culture’s development in the USA, graffiti session, intercultural communication between dancers, djs and guests from 10 countries from all over the world happened during those three days in Daugavpils.
On 2016 talented student of "Factory Kingz" Konstantīns Panama Zaics get to the final on famous Russian TV show "Dance on TNT channel – 3 rd season".
On September 2017 "Factory Kingz" organized international hip-hop festival in Daugavpils dedicated to school’s 11 th Birthday with special guests the world “Battle of the year 2014” champions from Russia – "Predatorz" crew (Bootuz & Beatmaster T) and graffiti art form founder in USSR (1985) – Vadim Krys Meikshans. Skills and knowledge of the highest level came to Daugavpils again!
On August 2018 we organized International hip-hop festival “Skill Deal” in Daugavpils. Special gusts from "Top 9" crew (Robin & Wolt) share knowledge with festival participants from 7 countries. We took part in battles, in workshops, in panel discussion, in graffiti drawing, and now we know how to get to the top!
On 2019 Hurricane Ray (Team Shmetta, Netherlands) has visited “Factory Kingz” with workshops. He is a famous coach of world kids champion bboy Lorenzo (Fresh Allstars). Ray told that level of Daugavpils bboys/bgirls is very high, and he thinks there is a future world champion in our school – but he didn’t tell us the name. Experienced teacher was surprised by motivation, stamina and energy of “Factory Kingz” through the classes – “They don’t get tired”, he said.
At the end of 2019, the annual international breaking tournament "Skill Deal" was held in Daugavpils. As part of the festival, we had the opportunity to communicate and share experiences with the current world champions among juniors (2018), the “Battle Droids” team (Belgium), as well as their coach Coach Sambo (Belgium). It was a great honor for us, that our city had visited the legendary Gombi (Hungary) from the team of world champions 1999 “Suicidal Lifestyle”. He was one of the judges for the Skill Deal tournament.
In 2023, our Edgar Dj Edgar Suritis, at the age of 12, was invited for the first time to take part in the world famous tournaments “Nothing2Loose” (France) and “Battle Pro” (Spain). In June 2023, at the World Junior Championships (U-17) “World Kids Breaking Championships” in Slovenia, Edgar took 5th place out of 100 participants. Our Marat Moras Gatyatulin - took 10th place.
In 2022, resurrecting after the pandemic, we were again able to invite world-class guests to our place. This time it was Sam (Belgium) from “Team Shmetta”. Sam spent 5 days with our team in August and had a big impact on our level progress. This allowed us to become European Champions at the “Unbreakable” tournament in Belgium, defeating the team of the strongest juniors (U-17) in Europe in the final. In competitions, we participated in a joint team with guys from Poland, and were called “East Side Kingz”.
