The World Hip Hop Dance Championship is an international hip-hop dance competition created in 2002 by Hip Hop International co-founders Howard and Karen Schwartz, who also created the competitive dance reality television series America's Best Dance Crew.[1] The competition is considered the largest dance competition in the world with more than 50 countries competing each year.[2][3] The competition has been held since its inception in 2002, except in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
