Based in the Los Angeles area, Hip Hop International was founded in 2002 to showcase and foster understanding of street dance through a mix of live and televised competitions. It introduced a crew-based competition format typically consisting of five to eight members, a concept that gained wider exposure on MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew, which the company created. Its U.S. portfolio includes ABDC, the USA Hip Hop Dance Championship, the World Hip Hop Dance Championship, and related World Battles, along with Urban Moves Dance Workshops. Globally, the organization coordinates street dance events and educational programs across affiliated nations, serving dancers, crews, educators, and audiences seeking competitive opportunities and instruction. World Battles for b-boying, popping, locking, and other styles culminate annually with the World Hip Hop Dance Championship. The company operates as an entertainment provider with a mid-sized team and is based in Van Nuys, California.
