Yesterday I introduced you to one of my East Coast picks, Fresh. But here are a couple of other cool crews that caught my eye at this weekend’s NYC casting call:
Illusions from Brooklyn, NY: “We always dreamed of a show like this. When we saw it last season, we couldn’t believe we weren’t on it. Dancers have always been looked at as the bottom, the background. And now dance is working its way up. It’s our time to shine.”

Next Level from Queens, NY: “We want to get married to dance. We’ve got so much love and passion for it. God comes first, and then dance. It’s in our heart, it’s in our soul.”

Fully Loaded from Philly: “We blend together hip-hop and classical dance. There are no boundaries — anything is possible.”

2 NYCE from Brooklyn, NY: “We do a particular type of dance called flexing, which is like a mixture of gliding and weaving and popping. It’s a lot of urban B-Boy hip-hop with a new-school flow. We just want to expose that to the world.”

Caution from Brooklyn/Queens/Bronx, NY: “Our crew is like gumbo. You put everything in a pot and stir it, and it tastes real good at the end.”
