Poreotix Say Winning ‘America’s Best Dance Crew’ Is ‘A Dream Come True’

The dance group credit their victory to ‘being true’ to themselves. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Tim Kash Poreotix and Tim Kash Photo: MTV News On Thursday night, “America’s Best Dance Crew” found its latest champs: Poreotix . And the California natives admit that they still can’t believe they managed to rise up the ranks and beat out the Blueprint Cru as season five’s winning team. When MTV News caught up with the crew, they said they were still reeling from the news. Describing the win as “a dream come true,” they explained they were not only excited by the win but also the fact that the show gave them the chance to “inspire the fans.” So, what made the Poreotix stand out? In their opinion, it was their ability to be themselves week after week that connected most to fans. “I think we did a lot of stuff the other crews wouldn’t have done,” Dumbo Nguyen explained. “We don’t move around the stage a lot, but we definitely entertain a lot of people.” Dumbo summed up their dance mantra this way: “We want to show people that we’re able to stand here and entertain you and don’t have to run around the stage and do crazy stuff. As long as you bring your true self out and people enjoy that, that’s all that matters.” The crew said their biggest challenge was during disco week. And the guys will be back for charity week, when they plan to bring their game again by “being true to ourselves again. Popping choreography robotics,” Dumbo said. And what will the guys spend their winnings on? Whatever’s left over after school tuition and rent, they’ll put into savings. It seems these guys aren’t just dance machines, they’re also practical. Are you happy with Poreotix’s win? Talk about your favorite “ABDC” moments in the comments below!

‘America’s Best Dance Crew’ Vets Jabbawockeez Headline Vegas Show

The crew start their own run at MGM Grand Hotel and Casino on May 7. By Jayson Rodriguez Jabbawockeez Photo: Jacob Andrzejczak/ Getty Images The Jabbawockeez, the inaugural winners of “America’s Best Dance Crew,” announced on Tuesday (March 23) that the masked dance crew will headline a 20-day run at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Hotel and Casino. The “ABDC” veterans kick things off May 7. The Vegas show is the Southern California-based act’s follow-up after joining New Kids on the Block and Jesse McCartney on tour. The Jabbawockeez rose to fame during the first season of Randy Jackson’s reality dance competition on MTV. With their swift moves, mysterious masks and crowd-pleasing routines, the Jabbawockeez burst onto the pop-culture scene. They memorably danced alongside NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal at the 2009 All-Star game in Phoenix . The veteran basketball player proved he still had plenty in the tank as he popped and locked, keeping up with the ‘Wockeez. MTV’s own “Dances From Tha Hood” host Tweetie was thrilled by Shaq’s moves and called the Jabbawockeez’ turn on the big stage “fresh.” “It’s funny to see somebody that big and actually be nice at dancing,” Tweetie said. “I’m not mad at him. There’s not really much you can go into. It was a dope idea. You don’t expect something like that from Shaq — only he could pull it off. “It’s fresh,” Tweetie added about her fellow dancers’ appearance. “It brings something else. It brings something fresh and new to the All-Star Game. The Jabbawockeez are very relevant right now. They represent well. Some crews get big and they change. If they do change, it’s for the better. They always tell a story. They can be so expressive without you having to see their faces. They have a dope energy about them. I loved that Shaq had his own mask.” What do think about the Jackawockeez headlining their own show? How do you think they’d stack up against this season’s “ABDC” competiton?
