Hip Hop International 2012 Final Day Recap

HOST: And now the seventh and final day of Hip Hop International 2012. It's been a long road for over 200 crews from over 40 different countries, and now it all comes down to this. Let's begin with the fearsome Junior division. These kids have been going hard all week long, proving that they truly are the future of Hip Hop. In third place, from Japan, Onizawa Ikka. Second place with the silver, from Canada, Flip. And defending their title, in first place, Bubble Gum from New Zealand. After the junior division, we are given a special exhibition by the winners of yesterday's world battles. Next up is the Varsity division. We saw a lot of great performances from these teens. Only three could take home medals, and only one could be champion. In third place, from Japan JB Star Varsity. Second place, Sorority from New Zealand. And with the gold, Sol-T-Shine from Japan. And after that, we're given a special exhibition by the winners of the mega crew division-- The Royal Family from New Zealand. And then we were given a special preview of Cirque de Soleil's new show, Ka. I was also able to catch up with the Jabbawockeez after the show, who were being presented with the Living Legends of Hip Hop award, an award usually given to individuals. But for this, the first time, awarded to a dance crew. How are you guys enjoying Vegas right now? MALE SPEAKER: Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world, so for us to be out here and stomping with the big dogs like Cirque and stuff is pretty humbling and very fun. HOST: And how does it feel to be receiving this award tonight, to be the first dance crew to be receiving this award? MALE SPEAKER 2: We're all very grateful for it. We work as a unit. It's a true relationship in the whole set of harmony and understanding one another. It's just the charisma, you know what I mean? It's that brotherhood. It's that vibe. That's what people like. HOST: And finally the main event, the adult division. We saw some really spectacular dancing all week, but for this, they really have to bring it. In the end, it went down like this. In third place, The Academy of Villains, bringing the bronze home to the United States. In second place, Neutral Zone, the dancing grandpas from Mexico. And in first place, taking the gold all the way back to the Philippines, The Crew. All right, I'm here with-- MALE SPEAKER: The Crew. HOST: 2012 HHI Adult division winners. Guys, I've just got one question for you right now. What do you want to eat? MALE SPEAKER 3: I want some Popeye's fried chicken. MALE SPEAKER 4: TC. HOST: Is that a Filipino dish? What does it consist of? MALE SPEAKER 4: Pig's face. HOST: 2012 HHI Adult division winners. They want to eat some pig face right now. All right, I'm here with Mr. And Mrs. Schwartz, the creators of Hip Hop International and America's Best Dance Crew. HOWARD SCHWARTZ: We just want to say that we're as excited about it as all the dancers that were here. I mean, there was 183 crews, 43 countries. I mean, the spirit, the camaraderie, the passion, the love-- it was unbelievable. And then on top of it all, it was a competition. You know, it was fun. KAREN SCHWARTZ: And we thank everyone, all the dance crews, all the supporters, for coming out, for sharing the week of championships with us, for working so hard and bringing their A game but also bringing their passion and their talent and their love of dance-- all together under one roof.
