Hip Hop ConnXion Elite - National Headquarters

It's not about who you beat, it's about who you inspire! - Quote from HHC Founder, Suavé

About Me


The Hip Hop ConnXion is a non-for-profit hip hop dance team founded in March 1999 by Suavé , professional choreographer and dancer who has appeared in various music videos and movies such as Save The Last Dance. The HHC is a professional dance troupe of all ages, sex and color each striving towards one common goal...to become part of the future of hip hop, spread a positive message and to be positive role models.
The mission statement of the Hip Hop ConnXion is:
"Our Future Is Here Today"
The survival of dance rests on the shoulders of our youth.
Teach them well and our future will be strong.
You can choose to start educating tomorrow,
or you can choose to start educating now.
We choose to start now!
The HHC performs all over the country and are revered as one of the top hip hop groups in the country performing over 50 times a year.
The HHC is an elite team of dancers some of whom have performed in music videos with artists such as the Baja Men, P-Diddy and Ice Cube, on TV in shows like MTVs Wade Robson Project, ABCs Dance Fever and Fox TV's "So You Think You Can Dance". The HHC also has two other troupes within it's family, Hip Hop Force and Future Force .
Hip Hop Force was created in October, 2002. It is the advanced troupe of the HHC Elite team. It was formed after the HHC realized, after three and a half years of auditioning and searching for quality dancers, that many good dancers with potential were being turned away. The HHF was formed as a developmental advanced troupe to help the dancers picked for the company enhance their performance and skill to their highest level to eventually become part of the HHC Elite troupe. Their mission statement is:
"To reach for the sky is only half the battle.
To get there is the goal!"

We are the motivators of today
and the leaders of tomorrow.
Through dedication, commitment and strength
you can achieve all goals.
If you believe you can succeed.
We will succeed!
Lastly is Future Force . With increased demand to start a troupe for the younger kids, FF was created in September, 2003. Future Force is the Under 14 year old Junior division of the HHC and HHF dance troupes. Their mission statement reads as follows:
"We Are The Future""
Let us be the inspiration for a new tomorrow.
A tomorrow where we can all be as one,
united to help make the world
a better place to live in.
The HHC, HHF and FF perform all over the suburbs and Chicagoland area. Most of the shows are primarily geared towards youth outreach programs, charity and/or special promotional events.

My Interests



If you didn’t see THE ONE 2008 on March 15th, you missed one of the best urban dance shows of the year!

"THE ONE!" 2008 DVD TRAILER - March 15th

You can Order your copy for $29.95 (plus $4.95 shipping and handling) by clicking on the link below.

This is the video of Suave leading the final prayer uniting all the countries at the World Championships '07

Looks like somebody took a bootleg video recording of our Adult routine at the 2006 World Championship Finals. In case you're wondering why the crowd starts getting loud towards the end is because after Michael Jackson's, "Off The Wall" song, all the dancers pull down blindfolds and do the last part of the routine blindfolded...yes, I said BLINDFOLDED! When the clearer edited version comes out on DVD, we will post that up, but for right now...ENJOY :)

Below is a slideshow of the Adult team at the 2006 USA and World Chamionships
Below is the Varsity division at the same championships


Inspiring others to be the best that they can be.
