Origin
Before the stages, journeys and battles, there was a relationship between father and son. Reginaldo Cirilo Dias introduced Denilson to breaking and accompanied his first steps in the culture. Training became discipline. Discipline became a path. And the path crossed borders.
Before the championship, came the training.
Before the stage, came the family.
Official biography
Denilson Silva Cirilo Dias, known as B-Boy Denilson, born in 2001 in Lucas do Rio Verde, Mato Grosso, is a breaking athlete and filmmaker. His story with the culture began in childhood, at the age of four, when he started training under the guidance of his father, Reginaldo Cirilo Dias, known as Brabão.
What began at home quickly became discipline, identity and a path. At six, according to Denilson himself, he was already winning local competitions in Lucas do Rio Verde and the Cidade versus Cidade in Ribeirão Preto, competing against older dancers — and the journey leaving inland Mato Grosso began reaching national and international stages.
In 2013, he won the children’s category at Chelles Battle Brasil in Goiânia, a result that opened the way to the Chelles Battle Pro in France in 2014, where he represented Brazil in the Kids category. His journey also crossed television — Encontro com Fátima Bernardes on Globo, alongside his father, and three appearances on Legendários on Record.
In 2018, Denilson won the fourth edition of RV Power in Rio Verde, Goiás, representing the 360 Graus crew. Over the years, he gathered experiences beyond competition: stage, travel, workshops, content production and direct contact with different audiences. Together with his father, he also teaches classes and takes part in social projects that train new dancers.
After a period of transition, Denilson now begins a new cycle. Breaking returns to the center of his life, but accompanied by a new tool: the audiovisual. As a filmmaker, he brings together movement, image, culture and narrative, turning his own trajectory — and the stories of people and brands — into content.
Today, the Denilson project is not only about competing again. It is about building a new professional phase, connecting brands to the culture, representing Lucas do Rio Verde and Mato Grosso, and creating opportunities through sport, art and communication.
From the roots of Lucas do Rio Verde — MT to new stages, new stories and new partners.
In his own words
I have the privilege of dancing alongside my father. My father, who taught me how to dance.
Father & son on TV
On May 10, 2015, Reginaldo and Denilson performed together on the “Talento Tamanho Família” segment of Legendários (Record). A story that started in Lucas do Rio Verde reached national TV — and would return there again.
Today
Together with his father, Denilson teaches classes and takes part in social projects that train new dancers. In 2026, father and son shared the stage again in Lucas do Rio Verde — proof that the movement that started at home is still standing.
