✨ Still taking it all in… HHI 26. ✨

What a little magical bubble it was from start to finish. 🥹❤️

From our Juniors placing 14th in the WORLD 🌎, to two of our Mini Crews getting through, one of them achieving an amazing 6.2 score, and then our Varsity also getting through ,a goal we had from the very beginning. And they went and DONE IT! ❤️‍🔥

I am beyond proud of every single dancer.

This is a full year of preparation. A year of sleepless nights, sacrifices, challenges, stress and endless training. And financially, it is extremely challenging to take dancers to something like HHI, especially when there is no support or funding from our country.

But when you see the opportunities our dancers get from experiencing something like this, it makes every single sacrifice worth it.

I honestly wish every child and young adult could experience something like this. The confidence, friendships, discipline, memories and opportunities are priceless, and I truly believe these experiences are so important for the young people of our generation today. ❤️

A massive thank you to all the parents who support their children, make the sacrifices, fundraise, travel and get them there. None of this would be possible without you. ❤️

This HHI has honestly been the best one yet. The more risks you take, the further outside your comfort zone you step, the more it pays off.

I am beyond thankful and blessed that we had such an amazing trip and made so many incredible memories. 🙏🏻❤️

HHI 2026 you were truly magical. 🌎✨

Forever proud of every single dancer. ❤️ by @laurendignam95

I’m so incredibly proud of our dancers. ❤️

The amount of work, commitment, sacrifices and challenges they have overcome to get to this level is something that will never be forgotten. To stand here representing Ireland at the World Hip Hop Championship is a huge achievement in itself.

To be the best, you have to compete with the best and that is exactly what we do. This is a journey, and every step of it matters. I truly believe that when the gold comes home for us, whenever that year or moment may be, we will look back and realise that every single hour, every challenge and every sacrifice was worth it. 🏆

What people don’t see is the work behind the scenes. Nelly and myself have put in 40 hours a week outside of our normal working hours 80 hours combined every week especially over these last 3 weeks preparing our dancers for this moment.

People see the final performance, but they don’t always see the hours, the planning, the late nights, the pressure and the passion that goes into creating it.

I am so proud of everything we have achieved. And even beyond results, dance is so much more than trophies. It’s the life skills, confidence, friendships, discipline and memories that stay with you forever and carry you through life.

I’m so grateful that dance has always been part of my life. When life gets hard, dance truly is therapy. The connection, the history, the emotion, the moments shared together there is nothing like it.

I’m so excited for Arizonaaaaaa… this is a moment we will never forget. 🇮🇪🔥

💛 Today marks the start of something truly special 💛

We are beyond honoured to officially announce that House of Swag is now LauraLynn’s Dance Partner for their events this year ❤️

Today we are here at the LauraLynn Family Fun Day as part of their Jurassic Adventure celebration 🦖✨ and honestly, we could not think of a more meaningful way to begin this partnership.

Over the years, LauraLynn has held such a special place in our hearts, and being trusted to help create smiles, joy, laughter, and magical moments for the incredible children and families they support means more to us than words can explain.

This is about so much more than dance.

We are so excited for everything still to come this year and so grateful to the amazing LauraLynn team for welcoming us into something so important 💛

The start of something beautiful ✨

🔥🇮🇪 H FAM – IRELAND’S CHAMPIONS 🔥

Arizona here we come 🇺🇸❤️

This was our 5th year in a row going to HHI Ireland…
and it will be our 5th year representing Ireland at the @officialhhi World Championships in Arizona.

This year H Fam walked away with 5 gold medals across all 5 Championship divisions,
and also took all 5 qualifying spots in the MiniCrew section. I guess 5 is our lucky number this year 🔥🙏

Official Ireland Hip Hop Dance Champions 🇮🇪
It’s hard to even put into words how proud we are of this team.

In all the years we’ve been doing this… this is honestly our strongest team yet.
Not just because of results, but because of how they train, how they push, and how much they care. Their loyalty & dedication is just insane, People don’t always see what goes into this from the dancers & the teachers
The hours, the hard work, the sacrifices…
the days where we are exhausted or frustrated but still show up and give everything.

There’s so much behind moments like this.
And that’s why it means so much.
But we know this is just a step.
The hard work really starts now for Arizona.

HHI Ireland makes you stronger
HHI Arizona changes you as a dancer forever
And we say it all the time
Every dancer should experience it at some point.

We’re hungry this year!
As dancers and as teachers, we’re not stopping.
We’ll do whatever it takes to keep improving and to get to the level we know we can reach.

This is the goal. This is what we’re locked in on.

We’re genuinely so excited to be back in Arizona ❤️

A huge thank you to @hhiireland
This weekend honestly felt like a warm up for Worlds. The atmosphere was unreal.

Massive respect to every school and dancer who stepped on that stage, the level was incredible and the support & friendships was amazing to see

Thank you to the MC @donking.ie and the DJ @dj.d.bo 🙌

And to the judges
@diagopoleorossi @leslieking_ @joel.91pact @giresezimmer @byronwest_lt @geeordano @paulgheorgheofficial @sugamama_official
and head judge @andreasmaintz
thank you for your time, your feedback and the standard you bring to this competition.
Last year we hit some big goals.
This year we want more. Time to go to work.

ARIZONA, WE’RE COMING BACK😍💛 We entered 5 divisions at this year’s @hhiireland — and once again, we walked away with GOLD in every single one! 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
No battles this time around as we just wanted to focus on the crews 💪🔥
🥇 Lil Nasty - 2nd year in a row. Unbeaten
🥇 Nasty 2.0 Varsity - 2nd year in a row. Unbeaten
🥇 Nasty 2.0 - 1st Place - 4th year in a row. Unbeaten.
🥇 H Fam - 1st Place - 4th year in a row. Unbeaten.
🥇 3Stripe - 1st Place 2nd year in a row. Unbeaten And YES — they done the entire piece in basically 1 DAY. Unreal!!
Special shoutout to our other H Fam MiniCrews: 🥉Upgrade – 3rd Place 🎖️Full Effect – 4th Place Reflection – just 0.2 off qualifying – danced their hearts out and made us so proud.
On top of ALL THAT, our Nasty 2.0 Adults were the #1 Highest Scoring Crew of the whole competition 🔥 Followed closely by: 🥈H Fam Megacrew – 2nd Overall 🥉3Stripe – 3rd Overall 🏅Nasty Varsity – 4th Highest Score
We’re also just back from the UK, where we won the UK Championship and are now TOP OF THE LEADERBOARD as the Highest Scoring Team of the Year there too 🙌🏼 We spent all of February focused on this & had the last 2.5 weeks to get our Junior, Varsity, Adult , and minicrews done but we done it 💪
The feedback from the judges this year has left us so inspired! Shoutout to all the amazing dancers across Ireland this weekend — the talent was next level. And a massive THANK YOU to the incredible judges & HHI staff for pushing all of us to grow. Special love to @brizamorano1 from @officialhhi – having you in the building motivated us even more. You’re a legend. 🙌🏼 Dancers if you haven’t experienced Arizona yet DO IT!! It is life changing 😍💛 But this wasn’t just about us — it was a HUGE weekend for our House of Swag fam, and we’re so proud of every single one of you! Now we LOCK IN. If we could do all of this in a few short weeks… we can’t wait to see what’s coming by JULY. The mission is clear. The fire is lit. We’re coming!
