The dance competition themed Dance To San Diego 2015 will take place on 14 and 15 March at The Linder Auditorium in Parktown.
Some of South Africa’s best dance crews, mega crews, solo lockers, poppers and b-boys will battle it out to be selected to represent South Africa at a hip-hop international event, the 2015 World Hip Hop Dance Championship in San Diego, USA.
According to one of the organisers, Fairchild Phiri, the national hip-hop dance competition was established in 2006.
“The South African Hip Hop Dance Championships’ gives an opportunity to all dancers across South Africa to perform and compete with their peers in a bid to later represent their country on an international level,” he said.
“Over 800 South African dancers have had the opportunity to travel and compete at the World Hip Hop Dance Championships in the USA in the past eight years.”
The World Hip Hop Championships, which was founded in 2002 by Hip Hop International, started with only 12 countries competing.
Phiri said it has since grown to become one of the world’s official international hip-hop dance sports’ events of the year, with more than 48 countries participating.
