Poreotix are representative of the next generation of Dance Crews, and not just because they won last seasons America's Best Dance Crew and the recent Hip Hop international.
Combining the styles of Popping and Locking with Robotics, Poreotix eschew traditional break battle styles like Freezes, Top-Rocking and acrobatic Power Moves. As popping is a completely different style of dance (break is mostly on the floor, popping is standing up), it allows more fluid movement amongst the crew and the opportunity to be more theatrical.
It also conserves energy normally used up in the power moves for more higher-speed dance routines. This has led to different musical genres being used in crew routines too.
Poreotix are 6 asian-american dancers who came together organically in 2007 in California. Like all crews, their first performances tested the waters and the boys were convinced they had the chemistry, style and work ethic to take them further.
Known for their flashy haircuts, stylish gear and ever-present shades (they wear them in every routine), Poreotix have become accustomed the spotlight and encompassed their crazy persona to the point where they can be themselves on stage. The ebullient joy of performing comes out in every routine, as their facial expressions seem to say that they can't believe they get to do this either!
Technically sound, theatrically ambitious and always wildly entertaining, Poreotix are a crew on the rise and definite must-see on their upcoming tour of Australia.
