Kings United

Kings United India are a hip hop dance troupe that was the first Indian team to win Bronze medal at the World Hip Hop Championship, 2015 in San Diego. Suresh Mukund (born on December 24, 1987), is the choreographer/mentor/director of the group.[1] [2] [3]

History

In 2009, Mukund along with a partner formed the hip hop dance group 'Fictitious Dance Group' which participated in dance reality shows:

In 2012, SNV group finished eighth at the World Hip Hop Dance Championship, Las Vegas.[8][9] Remo D'souza's ABCD 2 movie, starring Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor, was based on the real life story of this group. [10] [11] [12]

After the release of the movie, Mukund's partner left the crew and the group split. Mukund then founded 'Kings United India', with his old team members and a few new additions. [13]

Present

Kings United India competed at the World Hip Hop Dance Championship 2015, in San Diego and finished at the third spot. Varun Dhawan alongwith Ponds had sponsored this group for the competition.[14]

The bronze medalists have now opened their own dance academy called "Kings United Kingdom Of Art" in Vasai.[15] The academy was inaugurated on January 3, 2016 by Remo D'souza and Varun Dhawan.
