Las Vegas, NV – It was one love at the 2012 HHI World Dance Orientation as crews from all over the world congregated at the Red Rock Resort Ballroom in the parade of nations. The love of hip hop dance permeated the crowd as they shouted out their country and crew name. Even before the start of the orientation, the excitement and love for dance swept the entire corridors of the hotels ballrooms. From the chats of C A D A N A what to Pilipino, Pilipino, Pilipino, everyone was ready to party it up for the week long event.
At one point, the crews from Paraguay lifted one of their wheelchair bounded members in the air and chatted, “Paraguay, Paraguay, Paraguay!”
Hyping up the crowd was Mookie Washington as he announced various countries to make some noise. Joining Mookie Washington on stage included AJ Maldonado as they introduced the directors representing each country.
After the culmination of the orientation/welcome day, it was unanimous that this day was about love and dance.
