PoreoTics

Poreotics, also known as Poreotix, is an all-male dance crew from Westminster, California. The crew was formed in 2007 and specializes in popping, choreography and robotics, hence the name Po-reo-tics. They have performed in numerous hip hop dance competitions, most notably coming in 1st place in the USA division of the 2009 Hip-Hop Internationals^[1] and in other dance programs and competitions including the Vibe 15, FUSION X, Body Rock, and World Of Dance. On April 8, 2010, they were crowned the champions on the fifth season of America's Best Dance Crew.^[2]

They are known for their shaded, dark glasses, which they wear for all of their performances. As Jet-Li said, they wear the shades because it gives them character.

Poreotics was formed in Westminster, California by Matt "Dumbo" Nguyen, Can Nguyen, and Charles Nguyen in December 2007.^[3] Subsequently the group expanded with new members Lawrence "Law" Devera and Justin "Jet-Li" Valles. In 2009, the team chose Chad Mayate to substitute for Justin Valles in the 2009 Hip Hop Dance Championships. The team won first place and Chad Mayate became a permanent member.^[4] Five out of the six crew members (Dumbo, Can, Charles, Law, and Chad) were also members of PAC Modern Dance Troupe. In 2008, both Matt (Dumbo) and Lawrence (Law) competed on Season 3 of America's Got Talent with the crew Sick Step.

 Their life

Dumbo claims that they never had any money when they tried out for America's Best Dance Crew. All of them have gone to college but have yet to finish. Chad went for clinical lab science, Lawrence went for radiology, Jet Li went for kinesiology, Can went for visual communication, Dumbo went for cosmetology, and Charles went for educational training. Before Poreotics auditioned for America's Best Dance Crew, Jet Li's dad was put in the hospital for liver and kidney failure. He knew that even though his dad was in the hospital, he could still go on knowing that he was there in his heart.
