Nicole Longo "Neat Method" National Get Organized Day Sunday April 26

A beautiful renovation and a functional one are not mutually exclusive. In fact, the best spaces are both. But achieving that balance rarely happens by accident. It happens when the right professionals are at the table from the very beginning.Interior designers and professional organizers are natural partners. One leads with vision, the other with systems. One thinks about how a space looks, the other about how it lives. When both are involved in a renovation, the result is a home that doesn’t just photograph beautifully. It works beautifully too.

Howard Schwartz HHI USA Championships April 10-12 Burbank tickets hiphopinternational.com

Founded in 2002 and based in Los Angeles, Hip Hop International is the producer of multiple live and televised street dance competitions that are the largest and most respected in the world.  Hip Hop International was created to focus attention on and foster an understanding of street dance. In 2002, HHI innovated the 5-9 member crew competition, a format further popularized during seven seasons of “America’s Best Dance Crew” (ABDC), the show HHI created for MTV.  The idea for Hip Hop International began in 2000 when HHI cofounders Howard and Karen Schwartz saw street dancers in Paris and Tokyo captivating large crowds with incredible dance moves.  Because it was a style of entertainment that transcended language barriers, they saw the potential to reach an ever-wider audience from the beginning. They also knew that attempts to professionalize street dance would fail if they did not honor its origins and traditions with integrity.  To develop the judging standards, Hip Hop International turned to dance originators, respected street dancers, dance professionals and choreographers and collaborated with them to create the rules and regulations that are in use today by more than 55 HHI affiliated nations worldwide. Judging workshops are held in countries worldwide to standardize judging at all HHI competitions conducted by official affiliates.In the United States, HHI properties include ABDC, World Moves Dance Workshops, USA Hip Hop Dance Championship, World Hip Hop Dance Championship and World Battles: Popping, Locking, Breaking, Whacking and All Styles.Around the world, Hip Hop International is firmly established as the foremost authority in hip hop and street dance in every HHI affiliated nation through its internationally respected competitions, educational workshops and World Moves dance workshops taught by the most sought after presenters and choreographers.  Paying homage to its roots in b-boy culture, Hip Hop International’s worldwide street dance battles featuring the most notorious poppers, lockers, bboys, bgirls, whackers and all stylers culminates every year with the World Battles held in conjunction with the World Hip Hop Dance Championship.
