Las Vegas, NV – Going hard and going fast with a touch of a smooth goove, the adult division gave the judges more work on how to score the crews. From Illmatik Phlow’s latin grooves and B-Boy moves to Academy of Villains sharp moves, it was hard for the crowd to choose their favorite.

But the show must go on and the gold medal had to be given out. It became a mime’s world as the adult crew to be blessed with the gold medal was Academy of Villains.
