As we all know the dance world and its companions have quickly made their way into our hearts and homes. And being the "up and coming" crew I got the chance to ask Dumbo from Poreotix a few questions. I've also been extremely lucky to watch these guys on stage and I can say...pretty amazing! I know, I know...Jealous, much?   

S:   So, when and why did you start dancing?

D:     I started dancing when I was 16 because I thought it was cool. It stuck with me and I really like it because it has no ending.

S:   Hm, interesting. How did you guys come together as Poreotix?

D:    The crew formed in December 2007. I started it in high school and I had an idea of what I wanted, so I kind of just picked it up from there.

S:   What does Poreotix actually mean?

D:    Popping choreography robotics.

S:   About how many hours do you guys practice a day before a competition?

D:    Two hours

S:   Who inspires you guys the most?

D:    A lot of underground funk style dancers.

S:    As one of the best up and coming dance crews, what do you think makes Poreotix so great?

D:     We like to bring out our humor in all our performances and make our audience laugh.

S:    What are some of your goals that you guys want to accomplish in the next couple years?

D:     Being able to travel about the world

S:    What performance has been your favorite and why?

D:      Hip hop international…Because we placed 1st in the US.

(Oh yes, a duh…)

S:     What do you guys do for fun together?

D:      Road trips to all the competitions, only because we’re all on different teams. So when we’re not dancing with Poreotics we’re with our other teams or in school.

S:    What is your favorite part about dancing?

D:     Be able to manipulate the moves to the music. Free styling is probably my favorite though. Also, taking musicality to its full ability.

Well, there you have it Poreotix fans, hot off the press, from the one and only Dumbo. Whatcha know about that... We’re all excited to see what’s in store for Poreotix in the next couple of years. Good luck to ya’ll!
