The dance world is filled with talented dance crews all over the world.
There are all kinds of opportunities for dancers to compete for top spots in various competitions both big and small. This shockingly talented group of dancers not only takes first place but also goes massively viral for their epic performance.
It doesn’t get any better than this!
The Royal Family is a famous dance crew from Auckland, New Zealand, who won the New Zealand Hip-hop Dance Championship last year.
The massive crew led by choreographer Parris Goebel is in a league of their own when it comes to hip-hop dance. In April 2019, they did a phenomenal routine that blew up on the internet and earned them first place in the national contest.

In this performance, The Royal Family teams up with dance crews Bubble Gum and Sorority to light the stage on fire and stun the audience.
And they don’t waste any time, either—as soon as the music starts, they set into their spectacular show.
Led by Parris Goebel, they mimic each other perfectly and it’s completely mesmerizing.
The dancers all pop their bodies, snap their heads and swing their arms around while staying in sync with each other every step of the way. The fact that they’re all able to stay on cue is unbelievable—it’s like they’re all working from the same brain!
At 1:26 into the video, the girls dance their way into a circle around the male dancers before somehow lifting them above their heads to make it look like they’re floating.
That’s when the male dancers jump out in front and go off with a flurry of complex dance moves.
These guys are simply electric, and the pace they set is hard to even keep up with. They do every move you can think of and more—and it’s especially stunning when the whole group goes into slow-motion several times!
The energy that these dancers exude is palpable.
They’re very fierce and it makes the performance so powerful. At one point, they even make a pathway for one of them to flip through and he lands straight into the splits!
After that, the girls swing upside down, hanging on the guys’ necks while holding on by just their ankles.
That’s when they flip on to their feet and continue dancing, swinging their hair in unison.
The last minute of the routine is incredible.
All three dance crews go off together in an explosion of synchronized moves. They end the performance by striking a pose in unison in an extraordinary fashion.
As it turns out, this isn’t the first time The Royal Family has won first place.
The Royal Family has also competed in The World Hip Hop Dance Championships and won first place three separate timesm in 2011, 2012 and 2013. They were also runner-up in 2015.
People on the internet couldn’t get enough of the outstanding performance, and millions of dance lovers from all around the world watched them destroy the stage.
This video has been viewed over 27.8 million times, with 606,000 liking it and over 10,000 leaving comments.
