NAOTV Episode 12: Week of the Polyswag

Hello there BBDC! Polynesia was all over the place this week, with two videos by Parris Goebel making it onto this episode and a third video hailing from the Hawaiian Islands. Let's kick things off with Parris's class at the ML studio. This video was uploaded by Lil Bigz of Guam's Empire Kidz.

Next we have "Warm Up". This video was filmed at Palace Dance Studio and features ReQuest Dance Crew as well as members of Misfits.

And our last video from the wonderful world of Polynesia is Hazmat's combo to "Mr. Boombastic" by Shaggy. Still on his 90's vibe, Hazmat looks to be sticking with positivity in his pieces this new year.

---Other Dope Videos from This Week---

Beat Buddy Boi (2nd SEASON ROUND1) - Last season's Dance@Hero runner ups returned for the second season of this show. Judging from this performance, I say they are clear favorites for the win.

Tight Eyez "We Wear Black" - This man is a revolutionary. He's already made his mark by co-founding krump, and he continues to be a force in the street dance community by introducing us to krump-ography. It will be interesting to see where the movement goes from here.

Rusty Guinto - I've been meaning to show you guys the style of glowstringing for a while, but until now I haven't seen a good, recently uploaded video of it.

TAKE ME AWAY | DUBSTEP - Do I even need to say anything? Nonstop is amazing and his dancing speaks for itself.

Video: The Hype (Hype 5-0) Choreography to Kanye West & Jay-Z's "Otis"

This is the latest upload from The Hype's official Youtube channel, [Hype50TV]. At their very own Hypersquad Studios, The Hype takes on one of the most recently discussed songs of the Hip-Hop community:

Legendary Moments: GRV @ WoD 2010

In my opinion, I think this is the performance that dramatically augmented GRV's fame: especially Jawn Ha.

The highlight of this Gold-Medal set had to be Jawn Ha's infamous "Outta Your Mind" piece at 4:08. I don't think I've ever seen a crowd stay so consistently hyped, from just knowing that a piece of choreography is coming. This was truly a game changer:

Video: Brittnie Aguilar (Hype 5-0) in Vegas
