MTV Remote Control Blog › Quest Crew

When two seasons of "America's Best Dance Crew" had come and gone without a single female touching the championship trophy--and very few standing in the finale at all--a team of seven dancers averse to the notion that girl groups belong in G-strings made a splash in the competition. Beat Freaks set the stage on fire from their very first performance on the "ABDC" stage onward and were a force to be reckoned with until the last flag dropped.

Unfortunately, that flag was theirs, and Quest Crew became the third B-boy group to win the competition. Beat Freaks' efforts weren't in vain, though, and the septet that urged viewers--dancers or otherwise--to "freak the dream" set the stage for all-girl troupe We Are Heroes to claim the Season 4 title.

Now, members of the crew that has performed with the likes of Madonna and Britney Spears are pursuing personal projects (one is even a proud momma!), but they are still tightly knit. Below, check out what Keeley Kaukimoce told Remote Control on behalf of her fellow dancers, take a look at the Beat Freaks website for the latest on the ladies' activities and feast your eyes on what's widely considered one of the best performances in the history of the competition.

How did the group meet?
The majority of us were active in the underground hip-hop movement but ultimately came together because we had kindred spirits and a determination to learn and inspire, and be the best representation of women in hip-hop and beyond.

D-Trix is one of '"ABDC'''s best-known alumni, and after just two episodes of judging, he's made a big impression on the audience. His harsh criticism of Instant Noodles' debut performance drew gasps and a comment about "hard nipples" quickly went viral, proving that D-Trix is both a sharp and smart addition to the panel. No wonder viewers are begging for more.

ABDC Insider Host Layla Kayleigh sat down with D-Trix to find out what's behind all the jokes: Why he's a such a stickler, what went down in his split from Quest Crew and how he gets his hair so straight. Check it out:

As the "ABDC" Champions for Charity episode approaches, we thought you'd like to know who the all-star crews have teamed up with to help give back to their respective communities:

Poreotix has united with an organization called Everybody Dance Now! EDN! provides a healthy outlet away from the peer pressure of violence, drugs, alcohol and body image in the form of dance.

We Are Heroes has banded together with the Spartant Sparkles, the nation’s first cheerleading squad for students with special needs. The kids have disabilities ranging from Down syndrome to autism and cheer alongside other cheerleaders at school pep rallies, as well as home football and basketball games.

Quest Crew has been working alongside an inspirational youth who created a movie called "Say It Loud," which promotes the importance of education and having a “Plan B” when dreams of becoming a professional athlete, rapper or superstar fall short of the goal.

Super Cr3w has joined up with Marvelyn Brown, a girl who's HIV-positive and has spoken about the illness to half a million people around the world -- 200,000 of which went out and got tested for the disease after hearing her.

And finally, JabbaWockeeZ has been working with a cancer survivor who, after having his left leg amputated, went on to become a successful Paralympic skier and create a social networking site for amputees to ask questions, get answers and develop an active community.

This Thursday, you'll recognize all the crews on stage ... except for one new face. It seems Quest Crew's Ryan Feng recently injured his ankle and is still recovering from surgery, so in his place will be Aris Paracuelles.

During downtime today, we asked Aris where he was during Season 3. "I've been with Quest since day one," he told us, "but when it came time to audition, the max number of dancers was seven. Plus, I had to go finish school."

So how exactly does it feel to make it to the stage? "I was just looking around at all these crews who have won their seasons and spent so much time on this stage, and I kept wondering if I belonged here. But whether people know it or not, I'm still Quest, so in the end I feel I do," he shared.

Tune in Thursday at 10/9c to see Aris finally get a chance to represent his crew on "ABDC."
