UC Dance Team: 2026 U.S. National Hip Hop Team!

The University of Cincinnati Dance Team has been selected to represent the United States as the U.S. National Hip Hop Team at the 2026 ICU World Championships in Orlando in April — our first return to the world stage in 10 years. UC has a storied legacy at Worlds, earning gold medals in 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. Our victory in 2009 also marked the first time a college team was selected to represent the USA.  

This return to Worlds is both an honor and a significant undertaking. Funds raised will directly support travel, lodging, meals, competition fees, uniforms, training needs and essential expenses for our dance team and coaches throughout the week of the championships. 

Your generosity helps ensure our student-athletes can compete at the highest level and continue representing the University of Cincinnati and the United States with pride. Thank you for supporting our journey back to Worlds 2026! 

All gifts will also be counted in the UC Day of Giving totals.
