Maybe the crowd is their family & friends or people who support them. No real crew has 30 people? Does it really matter how many people are in a crew? When you watch performances like this, you don't look at numbers. You look at their style, what they have to offer, but more importantly, you look at what the message is, & no matter what crew it is, it's the same message for all; Our passion is to dance, so here it is.

Alright, but mainly fanboy overhype, and by that I mean that the crowd was losing their mind for no reason. First of all, no real crew has 30 people. They didn't mess up in a big way, but never tried anything terribly ambitious. It's spectacle because of numbers, not a truly innovative dance. Not terrible, simply meh.

@seymourglass26 go back to watching your abdc shit, and let's see you dance, i'm entitled to my opinion, and my opinion is you're just another troll.

[seymourglass26]

@manat23ee No, I'm talking about bboy crews. Even the ones like MZK (Zulus) that have members all over the world never bring 30. It's too hard to really observe the technique. This is the size of a small marching band and not that fresh or technical. They don't suck, but I see no reason to scream at something minor league.

@seymourglass26 That depends on how you define dance. To us, dance is movement, emotion, an interpretation of music; not tricks and flips. To us, the audience isn't there to judge or criticize, but support, cheer on, and celebrate art. To us, a "crew" is a team of people that each have unique talents to offer, not just the few best dancers we could find. I really appreciate and admire bboy crews, but our community is more about inclusion. "Dance to inspire, not to impress."

@marissaaa13 I'm all about expression and having a good time, but being clean, unique, and technical (doesn't mean tricks, poppers can be crazy technical and they have few tricks, just movement). I never even said they were terrible or even bad, I said they just didn't earn the Beiber-level fandom. Did you all win anything? If not, than me saying it's ok, but not the best seems to be accurate.
