The World Hip Hop Dance Championship is truly uniting the world of Hip Hop through dance. Founded in 2002 and based in Los Angeles, Hip Hop International is the producer of multiple live and televised street dance competitions that are the largest and most respected in the world. Hip Hop International was created to focus attention on and foster an understanding of street dance. In 2002, Hip Hop International innovated the 5–9 member crew competition, a format further popularized during seven seasons of "America's Best Dance Crew" (ABDC), the show HHI created for MTV.
Around the world, Hip Hop International is firmly established as the foremost authority in hip hop and street dance in every HHI affiliated nation through its internationally respected competitions, educational workshops and Urban Moves dance workshops taught by the most sought after presenters and choreographers. Paying homage to its roots in b-boy culture, Hip Hop International's worldwide street dance battles feature the most notorious bboys, lockers, poppers, and all other stylers, culminating every year with the World Battles held in conjunction with the World Hip Hop Dance Championship.
