World of Dance Aftermath: Antics

We haven't heard a lot of folks talking about Antics. They're a group of bboys, poppers, and lockers who had a great intro in their performance set at WOD Pomona. In the first few moments, they introduced each dancer with an audio track using spray can effects. As each dancer rose from the ground, we got a sense of their individual skills. What followed was a showcase revealing the strengths of this team: foundation in street styles.

It's unfortunate that there hasn't been as much buzz online about this team since their WOD performance. Is the reason because the audience was primarily a choreo audience who wanted to see something else besides street styles? We'll never know for sure. But we loved Antics for representing who they are regardless of the crowd response. Even their color scheme set them apart from the other teams. Each of the Antics dancers wore bold, monochromatic outfits that helped them pop out of on stage. Like the colors emanating from a spray can onto a graffiti mural. And like a mural, we hope that Antics keeps making lasting impressions in the future.
