Poreotics: America's Best Dance Crew Season 5 Champions



Producers from MTV saw videos on YouTube of Poreotics and had told them to audition for Season three of America's Best Dance Crew. Poreotics then added two members to the crew, Lawrence "Law" Devera and Justin "Jet Li" Valles. They auditioned for America's Best Dance Crew season three but sadly they did not make the cut. In the spring of 2009 Poreotics once again auditioned for Season Four of America's Best Dance Crew. Unfortunately, they still didn't make the cut. After that they competed at the 2009 Hip Hop Internationals in Las Vegas. Jet Li was not able to perform due to his dad in the hospital. The crew replaced Jet Li with Chad Mayate and the crew had won the competition. After that they decided to make Chad a permanent of Poreotics and stay as a six man crew. The crew had improved on their dancing skills, interview skills and became closer as friends. Once again the crew audition for Season Five of America's Best Dance crew and finally made the show. Poreotics practiced every day during the show for five through six hours. During their West regionals performance the host Mario Lopez asked Can, "What's up with the shades man?" and Can jokingly replied, "Well, it's because we are the Asian, and we have the small eye, so and we like robot." Their performance was a great surprise because they danced to Taylor Swift. Their the first crew in America's Best Dance Crew history to dance to Taylor Swift. They really impressed the judges. Their second performance the danced to Day N Nite by Kid Cudi, but did not really impressed the judges because their whole performance was Isolations. Their next performance was dancing to Umbrella by Rihanna and they landed safe for the next week. The crew made it to the next performance and they dance to Paparazzi by Lady GaGa, it was a good performance and the tutted backwards and hit it clean. They landed safe to dance on the show for another week. They next performance they danced to Dancing Machine by The Jackson 5 and landed safe for another week. The next performance they danced to was YEAH! by Usher. For their challenge they had to incorporate some of Ushers moves in reverse., and they did it great. They landed safe for another week. The next week was the Illusion challenge week. They danced to Right Hand Hi by Kid Sister and they had to move and object with their minds. Unfortunately, they weren't safe for next week so they landed in the bottom two and had to face off with another crew to stay safe for another week. Week seven it was the Hip Hop Nation challenge and had to Hip Hop styles from around the nation. They landed safe and a spot to dance for next week. They then performed to Tetreotix by Poreotix and they won Blueprint Cru and they were named America's Best Dance Crew Champions. Then they performed one last victory performance to I Made It (Cash Money Heroes) by Kevin Rudolf. On week eight, The Live Final they danced with two other crews, Hype 5-0 and Heavy Impact. The three crews of the west performed to Blah Blah Blah by Ke$ha. Poreotics and Blueprint Cru performed together to Pulse Percussion. Next week there was a special called Champions for Charity. Where the past four Champions, JabbawockeeZ, Super Cr3w, Quest Crew and We Are Heroes performed with Poreotics. The past four champions crowned Poreotics in the Champions of America's Best Dance Crew. Poreotics said they would love to compete in America's Best Dance Crew again but it is very stressful and a lot of hard work. Matt "Dumbo" Nguyen said that their mini crew Miniotics will perform in one the the seasons of America's Best Dance Crew.
