MegaCrews are Here!

February 19th, 2011 | By admin

If you have been to the Hip Hop International (HHI)  web­site in the last year you may have noticed that HHI is intro­du­cing a new divi­sion within the USA Hip Hop Dance Championship – called “MegaCrew” which is a divi­sion for crews of 15–40 per­sons.  The long range plan was to add it to the World Hip Hop Dance Championship in 2012.

However, since the announce­ment of this divi­sion, HHI has received many enquir­ies from HHI affil­i­ates and dance crews from out­side the USA inter­ested in par­ti­cip­at­ing.  This has promp­ted HHI to re-evaluate and con­sider adding MegaCrew to the 2011 schedule.

We are pleased to inform you that HHI and sub­sequently idance® have reached a decision to move for­ward and estab­lish the 1^st International MegaCrew divi­sion at the 2011 World Hip Hop Dance Championship. For the UK the MegaCrew divi­sion will run in place of  the teams divi­sion for 2011

As someone inter­ested in the UK Hip Hop Dance Championships we are share a link to the MegaCrew rules (which can also be found on the HHI web­site).  These rules vary slightly from the rules for crews of 5–8 crew­mem­bers.  Most not­ably crews are 15–40 mem­bers, crew­mem­bers are over 16 years old (up to 5 crew mem­bers may be younger) and routines are 4 minutes (+/- 30 seconds).

Because this is the first year for the MegaCrew divi­sion, we are lim­it­ing the num­ber of crews that will be accep­ted.  So we ask that you inform us soon if you are con­sid­er­ing enter­ing a MegaCrew.

Dancers who are par­ti­cip­at­ing in crews in the Varsity and Adult divi­sions in the World Hip Hop Dance Championship are also eli­gible to par­ti­cip­ate in the MegaCrew divi­sion. Be on the look out for Megacrews in your region
