In this week's episode: Tessandra Chavez creates major "traffic", found out whose dancer's legs were worth millions, and let's review 2010's highs and lows.
DancePlug went to see hip-hop crew Poreotix at one of their rehearsals. Poreotix won the America's Best Dance Crew Season 5 title, and or also champions of Hip Hop International.
Poreotix talk about what they've been up to since ABDC, their inspirations, and Hip Hop International.
So sorry for my recent absence, I felt as though nothing exciting was happening to actually talk about . But oh how things have changed... hehehe... So it's official: Blueprint Cru and Poreotix are the final crews in the running to be America's Best Dance Crew. I knew it all along. Meaning...
BLUEPRINT CRU is technically an amazing crew. Every week they are consistently entertaining and monumentally breathtaking. Though, the past two performances it seems that they have been scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to recapture that initial Blueprint Cru magic that so captivated us in the beginning.
HYPE 5-0... god bless their souls. those freaking Hawaiians deserved to stay on that show. To be quite honest, they smacked the s@%t out of Blueprint Cru and really made it know that they were on that show to win it. I felt that out of all the crews that appeared this season, they wanted it the most and every show they proved that they can think outside of the box and deliver on what the challenge was. I shed a quiet tear for them as they were eliminated last week. America is an unfair place. :(
POREOTIX yes A PERFECT 10! When these midgets, I mean when these boys are given carte blanche to do what they do, you are in for a show. For the Hip-Hop Nation challenge every crew had to incorporate a different type of street dance style from across the nation into their performance to a track produced by SWIZZ BEATS. What makes this crew so memorable is the clever way they executed that task. It's like watching a comedy show with fierce movement. What I don't like about this crew is that they never give you any kind of intensity.There is no passion in their face or choreo. Everything is a joke to them it seems. Emotion is definitely lacking. Always. With Blueprint Cru they dance with intention and conviction. You can see it in their eyes, and in their movement. It comes from a very emotional place. This is not a game.
These two crews also had to do a final dance off to emblazen in our minds America should vote for them. When watching Poreotix final performance it became so clear this group's choreo strategy. They are a plethora of peel offs and mirror effects. It's like if one dancer does a move they all have to mimic the same move. All in all their final perfomance was more of the same. Blueprint Cru didn't impress either. Again more of the same. But I do agree that these two groups are deserving of where they are in the competition. The real drama will be next week when these two face off... can't wait for the fireworks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! until next time...
