Dancing like a LMFA-PRO

I'm sure by now, most people have heard or seen a LMFAO song or music video. The song Party Rock Anthem, also known as "Everyday I'm Shuffling", is just one LMFAO song that has been a chart topper for months. Some people might be wondering who is dancing with them in the video and may be surprised to find out that the dancers are actually more well known than they may think.

Quest Crew is the name of the group that dances in all of the LMFAO music videos and real life performances. They became a group years ago and have had an interesting career throughout the years.  The first appearance that I saw them, was on the show So You Think You Can Dance back in 2006 when Hok and a few other members of the group tried out for the show. Hok made it through the elimination rounds and did well until they found out he did not have a Work Visa and was removed from the show. During his short time on the show, Hok did great break dancing moves and adapted to the other dance styles really well. Little did we know then the powerhouse dance group Hok and his crew would become.

The second television appearance I saw Quest Crew in was on the show America's Best Dance Crew or ABDC when the entire team tried out. From week to week I watched as the Crew astounded the crowd with amazing stunts and really well thought out performances. I remember their finale when one of the members did a back flip starting off from a crossed-leg sitting down position and landing on his feet without any assistance. Quest Crew won winning ABDC and that was the last I saw of them. At least, it was the last I saw of them, until last year when LMFAO released the music video for Party Rock Anthem.

Currently, Quest Crew is working with LMFAO and we see them all over as their popularity has increased. Overall, I have really enjoy watching Quest Crew do their routines and innovative moves.  They were the first dance group that I have actually went out of my way to see, even if it was only on television. I am not sure how many people realize that they are a group and I wanted to spread the word which is why I posted this blog.

Now that you guys know who they are, check them out and watch some of there ABDC routines.  They are really sweet!  Also, post a comment after you watch and tell me what you think of their dancing.
