Since their first night on the hit MTV show, which crowned fellow Las Vegans Super Cr3w winners during the second season, AfroBoriké brought something different to the circular stage.

“They were by far the most diverse group style-wise this season,” said judge and former N’Sync singer JC Chasez during the season wrap party on the Warner Bros. lot. “For three seasons before they showed up we had a very kind of concrete idea of what the dance crews were. When they showed up on the stage they brought something totally different to the table and I think it broadened everyone’s horizons on the show. I really think it opened a lot of eyes and a lot of imaginations.”

That something different was a style that was new to ABDC - a mix of classical training, Latin rhythm and the sexy polish of the Las Vegas stage. It was their collective identity translated into movement and set to music.

“Afroboriké gave us probably the most memorable moments for Season Four,” Chasez reflected, explaining that the crew hit the sweet spot between dancing as an art form and a means of entertainment.

“What they did as far as Vegas is concerned, is they brought a showmanship. … They brought the theater to our show. They didn’t get caught up in the technicalities of movement; they really came to express themselves in a theatrical manner.” [source]
