The SPARKS from Algarve Dance Academy were selected for the Hip Hop International, which takes place from August 6th to 13th in the USA and the participation costs are high.
Between the 22nd and 25th of April, ADA – Academia de Dança do Algarve, an Urban Dance school with over 15 years of existence and with training centers in the main cities of the Algarve, was present at the largest Portuguese Urban Dance event – the HHI (Hip Hop International - Portugal), in the city of Maia (Porto). This Academy entered into competition with 7 teams, demonstrating all the potential that the Algarve region has at the moment.
The competition team “𝗦𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗞𝗦” from ADA - Academia de Dança do Algarve, composed by Diogo Viegas, Diogo Gouveia, Nuno Pereira, Rui Nunes, Luís Sousa and Rodrigo Roberto, end up making history in the context of the reality of the Algarve at this level.
For the first time, an Algarvian team qualifies, in the National Hip Hop International Championship - Portugal, with the best classification ever, in a place that allows a qualification for the Hip Hop International world final, which will take place from the 6th to the 13th of next month of August in Phoenix, Arizona, in the United States of America (USA).
Several other national teams have already achieved this clearance, but most have never managed to make this participation, given the high associated costs.
All forms of support are meritorious and this is one of them, so we will try to reward everyone who can contribute, with the attribution of some rewards.
