Hip Hop International just announced the list of U.S. crews competing in the U.S Championships for the following divisions: Junior, Varsity, Adult and MegaCrew divisions.
Returning to defend their titles include Junior Division winner The Prodigy of Las Vegas, Varsity Division Winner iDK of San Diego, Adult Division Elektrolytes of Gilbert, Az. Will iDK go hard and pump up the crowd like they did last year? Can we expect a back to back win from Elektrolytes after winning the title of “America’s Best Dance Crew” on MTV a few weeks ago. Come out to the Red Rock Resort for the prelims with the finals at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.
Joining the defending crews to strive for the gold are the following in division order:
