Las Vegas, NV – It was another big night for Pacific Rim nations as Royal Family (New Zealand), UP Streetdance Club & LaSalle Dance Company Street (Philippines) along with Academy of Brothers from Australia took spots in the top fifteen moving them to the finals of the World Mega Crew competition at the 2012 Hip Hop International World Dance Championships held at the Red Rock Resort. No one doubted that Royal Family would take top spot.
It was a blessing for the Philippines as both crews competed for the first time at the event. The Aussies had to be proud having to deal with a long flight delay to get to the Las Vegas. It was blessing that they made it to the top 15 out of 31 crews.
