HHI is also the creative force behind the popular MTV competition series “America’s Best Dance Crew,” which catapulted Jabbawockeez to worldwide fame and will return for an 8th season this summer.
The Championships have launched the careers of dancers and choreographers working with Cirque Du Soleil, Justin Timberlake, J. Lo, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Madonna, Brittney Spears and Pharrell Williams among many others.
