“Dancing is creating a sculpture that is visible only for a moment.” Erol Ozan.
What: The World Hip Hop Dance Championship. Where: The World Hip Hop Dance Championship is one of the many global events produced by Los Angeles-based Hip Hop International. How: Dance Crews participating in the World Hip Hop Dance Championship advance either from national qualification rounds and/or selections within their country, or by special invitation. Join a crew, go solo or get yourself a ticket to be in the audience. When: The event takes place every year, but I recommend you choose the year when I am selected or receive a special invitation to be the first person to compete as a dancer and design the lighting for the show! Why: Hip Hop dance is a fusion of different dance disciplines and cultural interpretations that capture the attitude, elements, look, music and posture of the urban environment. It is a continuously evolving style of entertainment that transcends cultural and language barriers. It is a perfect multi-sensory experience that can only be enhanced by the lighting. As a passionate hip hop dancer, this global dance event is a chance to meet and interact with the most celebrated hip hop dancers and choreographers from around the world who are equally passionate about hip hop culture and dance. More importantly, this event has the potential to reach an ever-wider audience with some super cool lighting designed by a dancing lighting designer!!
