The first stage of IDO's Kielce world championships concluded on 19 October, closing three days of Breaking and Hip Hop Battles before a separate Hip Hop and Popping programme took over at Hala Legionów. The second championship stage began on 20 October and is scheduled through Saturday, 24 October.
IDO's recap describes a three-day progression: Breaking solos for Children, Juniors 1, Juniors 2 and Adults on Saturday; Breaking 2vs2, Breaking Crews and Hip Hop Battle Crews on Sunday; and Hip Hop Battle solos across age divisions on Monday. The federation's recap does not provide a full results table, so this update does not infer winners from the event narrative.
The ongoing stage is listed separately by IDO. Its programme includes Hip Hop solos, duos, groups and formations, alongside Popping solo and duo categories and a World Cup Productions event. The official timetable covers each day through 24 October, but IDO says timings depend on entries and may change; dancers are advised to be ready 90 minutes before each round.
DanceWami is tracking the two official records separately: Breaking and Hip Hop Battles, 17–19 October and Hip Hop and Popping, 20–24 October. Read the IDO recap and official schedule for the latest organizer information.
