Hip Hop International NZ - Auckland Champs

Vaimoana Vaai —

Congratulations Praise Va'ai-Tupa'i and her crew Lil Saintz on winning the junior division at the Auckland Regional Champs for HHINZ

Hip Hop International NZ is the largest competition in New Zealand where crews compete in their region for a spot at nationals, then at nationals (in April) the top 3 placed teams qualify for the World Hip Hop Champs which are held in Arizona, USA.

Praise Va'ai-Tupa'i (Rm31) has been dancing with Lil Saintz for the past 4 years and to win the Auckland Championship was no easy feat.  4 days of training and up to 4-6 hours per day along with intense fitness sessions, her team is putting in the hard work with the goal of wanting to make Worlds.

Nationals will be held in April and we look forward to hearing the results.  Good luck Praise.
