>>NINJABOI: What's up guys, this is Ninjaboi from Blogging Best Dance Crew
>>POREOTICS: [In background] Ninjaboi >>NINJABOI: We reppin the city of brotherly
love and I've got a crew that's like a band of brothers.
>>POREOTICS: POREOTICS! >>NINJABOI: Alright guys, so you guys just
performed, judged Drexel's Best Dance Crew, and if you really think about it, you guys
were only in college a couple of years ago, and now you're touring the world, making a
name for yourselves. So I guess, when you guys started as a smaller crew, even in high
school, did you ever dream that you would be going around the world, going around colleges,
getting this kind of reaction? >>CHARLES: We never thought that we would
ever get to this point, we always danced, saw it as an art, saw it as a fun hobby, never
in our lives did we think we would travel the world, go to colleges, other coutnries,
dancing, having fans. >>NINJABOI: Alright so I guess, seeing all
these young dancers dancing, performing putting together these crew, I guess some of you guys
were in PAC Modern and in other college crews, I guess what does it mean to you to come back
to these colleges. I mean you guys are going to be doing things like Jet's in Step Up 4,
and you guys are going to UDC, one of the biggest dance showcases in the world, what
does it mean to come back to colleges, maybe not as big, but like, giving back to smaller
dancers. >>DUMBO: I think it's always nice for us to
come back to colleges because that's always where we came from, it helped us become who
we are, and share our passion with college dancers.
>>NINJABOI: Like I said, Jet Li, you're going to be in Step Up 4, and this is actually a
fan question, but Greg want's to know what's up with you guys's reality TV show?
>>JET LI: As of right now I think that's on hold, we focusing more on our brand, so we're
changing up our image, you're gonna see that, like I said in the interview with Chris last
week, in the next couple of months or so. It's more like, in the past few years, we've
seen how we're perceived, and we know what we want to be like, and in the next few months
we're refreshing ourselves. So yeah, that's pretty much what we're focusing on.
>>NINJABOI: So you guys are doing big stuff, but you guys always had your roots in Youtube,
you've been in JKFilms, in NigaHiga and KevJumba's videos. So I know you guys are in this, it's
something I'm personally interested in, and can you tell us about the Uploaded Documentary,
what role you guys had in there? >>CAN: Basically, it's kind of new media.
before you have traditional media like tv shows and movies, and now it's all moving
to Youtube. About artists who are coming up in Youtube and basically about new media and
Asian artists moving up. >>NINJABOI: looking forward to seeing that.
>>CAN: The premeire I think is actually May 16
>>LAW: Yeah I think some of us will be at the premeire.
>>NINJABOI: Alright, definitely looking out for that. So what advice do you have for kids
who are trying to start their own dance crew, who want to perform, who want to make it as
big as you one day. >>CHARLES: Be original. Be yourself, be original.
>>JET LI: Learn your foundations. Get founded in the roots before you start.
>>CAN: Learn about hwere it came from if you can. If not, try your est to stay original
at least. You don't always have to know the history, but it's good to know it anyway so
you know what you're doing and why you're doing it.I mean it only helps you.
>>NINJABOI: Alright then. And what about kids who want to try out for their college dance
teams like PAC Modern. Like one of the other posters on BBDC, Freeze, I think he met you
guys at WOD LA. What advice do you have advice for kids who want to try out for their own
college team. >>CHARLES: Never give up. If you audition
and don't make it, audition again. Take classes. Never sell yourself short. And always believe
in yourself, and that's the key to making a dance team. Believe in yourself, take classes,
keep trying, get on that team, Boom. >>LAW: It's important to have that positive
energy. Even if you don't make it the first time on a team you're trying out for, it's
good to just try out again, because you never know. You can grow so much, in a couple of
months of even weeks, in dance. Don't be discouraged by that, and just keep pushing yourself to
stay positive and in it, and get better at it.
>>NINJABOI: So one last question, whats your guys's creative process, because I mean we're
in the midst of a Super Saiyan right here [laughter]
>>LAW: Thank you for all the energy. >>NINJABOI: But seriously, how did you guys
conceptualize that? What made you guys watch that video and decide okay we're gonna include
that in our set. >>JET LI: That video was just so funny.
>>CHAD: And we just thoguht, had anyone done it yet? No? Lets do it!
>>LAW: We have a weird, like funny, awkward sense of humor. Anything that attracts us
kind of makes us want to, like. It makes us want to put it into a dance routine and entertain
people that way, because you don't expect it. You watch a video like that, and you don't
expect dancing to go with that. And like a car alarm, you don't expect anything like
that to happen in a dance routine. >>JETLI: I really felt his words. The super
saiyan kid really spoke to me. His words really spoke to me no matter what. I thought he went
super saiyan in the video. Maybe not fully super saiyan, maybe half super saiyan.It really
inspired me >>LAW: We really owe him a lot. Big ups to
the Super Saiyan Kid >>POREOTICS: Jaylen!
>>CAN: IF you believe it, you can achieve it
>>LAW: It's all in here. It's all in your mind.
>>NINJABOI: Gotta believe more to make it to Super Saiyan 3.
>>LAW: The theme song really helps too. >>NINJABOI: Okay, that's all the questions
I have. Any questions for your fans, for Blogging Best Dance Crew?
>>JET LI: It's been two years since we've been on ABDC. No actually we were on there
last year for one episode, but two years since we were really on it. And we just want to
thank you guys for following us. There have been so many other champions, so many new
dance crews that come out on the show. Thank you for following us and believing in what
