Videos that they post up on to their YouTube account are videos of their performances, competitions, workshops, dancing sessions, Miniotics clips, Choreography clips, funny adventures, their bird benny, commercials they've been in and more. They made their YouTube account because they wanted to get their name out even more and for their fans. They wanted their fans to see all their adventures. Poreotics have their America's Best Dance Crew videos on their YouTube, so if you want to see their America's Best Dance Crew videos you can watch it there. If you want to learn how to pop and do robotic moves, you should watch their workshop videos. It will teach you how to do their choreography. On their YouTube page they also got information about them. They also give you a link to their official webpage, Poreotics.com.

You will submit a video of you dancing and they will choose which videos are the best. They recently made one and those top four dancers in the videos will perform with Poreotics on stage. Their videos get a lot of views so you know they have lots of fans. Poreotics recently posted on their YouTube a video called "Poreotics in Boracay *Official Trailer". They are going to release a movie of them in Boracay. It's basically about their lives got crazy in Los Angeles so they left for the Philipphines. They said " Be afraid, Philipphines." "The Poreotics have arrived!". They are releasing the movie in May so keep an eye out for that. I really like to watch their performances because they always have a new routine to show and they get better at dancing every time. A video the recently posted that I liked is their video called "POREOTICS - Opening Act for Justin Bieber's concert in Manila". I liked it because the first two minutes of the video showed their progress and accomplishments of the dancing career as Poreotics till today. It showed clips from America's Best Dance Crew, clips from their America's Best Dance Crew Season Six commercial they made and clips from Justin Bieber's music video "Somebody To Love" because they were featured in that music video. Then they perform a really nice routine but the volume was a bit messy. At the end of the video Justin calls Poreotics to come on stage one more time and they dance. So if you want to watch videos and stay on track with their progress you should check out their YouTube page!
