World of Dance Pomona 2010: Blended Projekt

Blended Projekt performed at World of Dance 2009, and they're returning for the 2010 showcase. Founded by Valerie Ramirez in 2001, this crew has fused clogging with other dance styles in the spirit of their crew name. Does the mix work? Well, they appeared at the West Coast Regionals for the fifth season of MTV's America's Best Dance Crew, but they didn't advance to the national competition. This shouldn't be the final word of their entertainment value as performers though. We'll have to see what they can bring to the stage at WOD.

You can see a clip of Blended Projekt on ABDC here:

Here is their Myspace website:

And here is their Facebook website:

Footwork is their strength, which is an advantage they have over many choreo crews in the LA and OC scene. Usually, we don't see large crews showcasing intricate footwork. Instead, they're flat-footed with some hops and skips here and there. We're hoping Blended Projekt inspires other crews to embrace fancy footwork.
