Academy of Villains | World of Dance LA 2013 | Upper Division 2nd Place

[@itstheomegacrew]

love aov, their style is so sick, original...such commitment from the whole team. Best routine I've ever seen!

[@theenaawwsomeness143]

by far one of CA's GREATEST dance crew!!!!

[@weixin1991]

Whenever I need inspiration I always look at AOV videos. You guys never fail to amaze me. with all that coordination and cleanliness comes lots of practice and hard work. Good job Pharside and I really hope to be able to dance under you someday.

[@DancinDogEater]

You're my dance idol! Your videos and videos of aov/ysc inspire me to become a better dancer every time I watch them!

[@randolfhubilla]

It's 2015 and I still watch this video till this day. Probably one of my favorite sets ever by AOV. Really have to see them live one time!

[@renelezama3185]

[@DCpEARCE]

I think there was plenty of dancing here...tricks too but really not overdone. This is indeed dancing and a unique style at that. In my opinion of course:)

[@friff369]

mannnnnnn this is wayyyy to awsome!!!! its 2015 and im still watching it

[@tropicaldancerbennymabo]

Wow… I absolutely love GRV but these guys should have won i feel… What a freakn futuristic pumped up galactic perfoemance… Love from Australia : )

[@whereiscindy4158]

AOV never fails to impress me ! mindblown!

[@brennastyify]

Everytime I watch this, the more mad I get that GRV won. Im a big GRV fan, but damn Pharside, this piece killed the whole show off. AOV is the clenest team for how hard they hit, and they are so much more well rounded. AOV better come for that GRV head at VIBE. Judges better get their shit together!

[@BrunoOliveira-mn9py]

so much respect for you men. AOV is amazin'...

[@vfxswagg1337]

AoV took 1st at VibeXIX!!!!!

[@JulienLevythegiraffe]

Bryon Harris There were no doubts in any of our minds after seeing that performance that they had won... overkill never looked so damn good!

[@vfxswagg1337]

Julien Lévy, you're in YSC?

[@JulienLevythegiraffe]

Bryon Harris Yep

[@genenpurugganan782]

Mcr+ academy of villains!! Two things I love into one yassss

[@ACADEMYOFVILLAINS]

hey bro, no worries, im not upset at all :) i agree with the one to many air moves we did, and it was only there to get the crowd hyped. I dont need stunts in our routine, never felt as if we needed to depend on them. But i do come from a bboy background, and our STUNT routines, are used in competitions, as if we where battling... and to bring a different look then the typical choreography group. AOV has all different types of dancers such as, krump, house, popping, bboy, locking. only right to

[@doppleganger9627]

[@ACADEMYOFVILLAINS]

use all of the outlets we have in our dance. and bboy routines from bboy morris or bboy kareem, are some of our outlets. :) but thank you for clearing stuff up. im super down to hear out opinions on getting better, but negativity wont always come off right. appreciate it dynamo! thank you

[@ninjaflippingvu]

But that double back flip doe!!

[@graynor67]

Vibe is big and then won that so that's good

[@karmabelle]

wait...so if this was SECOND place who the F*CK got FIRST????? This was crraaaaaaazy AMAZING.

[@ACADEMYOFVILLAINS]

please people learn your history with dance before saying what is and what isnt dance. this is a choreography competition, "definition" Choreography is the art of designing sequences of movements in which motion, form, or both are specified. most people who take choreography classes cant even freestyle... AOV can also freestyle. :)

[@5LiveFree5]

Mind blown!!

[@ACADEMYOFVILLAINS]

our so called tricks ( bboy routines ) most crew couldnt even do... please stop being a hater. we enjoy what we do, and if you dont... then dont watch us :) thank you.

[@ACADEMYOFVILLAINS]

LOL im not being defensive i stated my thoughts already...so please dont speak for me. By the way gymnastics and cheerleaders is doing basket toss and back handsprings. where doing something a little more different then that, with our little twist. Because that would mean crews such as jinjo and pokemon would be cheerleaders and gymnasts as well... but thats not the case...

[@RodZilla11]

This kinda like the cheerleader competition on ESPN. Definitely clean and exciting but I don't know if this qualifies as dancing.

[@ACADEMYOFVILLAINS]

ps. Never said, you said, "AOV where cheerleaders or gymnasts." just explaining the difference between us and them, If you don't already know.

[@NicoleRuiz23]

the seconds i heard mcr i was interested

[@JamMastaJeremy]

The knee drop would work. Not as cool or unique as the move they did, but I could see it. The pause wouldn't really work though. It'd work if the music had a shift after CHECK THIS OUT which would coincide with an elevated level of choreo, but the music before has pretty much the same intensity as the music after, so going harder wouldn't have much effect. Given that you suggested a knee drop though, I'm thinking you don't really mean 'no tricks' so much as 'not so many flips'. Right?

[@kidhobbies3547]

It seems as if the original academy of villains from hhi had their own style and got to show that to many others and those who wanted to be in the group, if they were good enough, they would get in. for example in the group at about 75% in the dance the group with the tutting had so many people there were two groups.

[@ACADEMYOFVILLAINS]

i see what your saying. i feel it

[@caizer060]

WeW I LovE It

[@goldenarmor123]

dope.

[@AyeLiyah]

They should had won 1st place, I dnt think GRV shouldn't have won 1st place.

[@hiphopnow0622]

Pharside may i know the third music..please.. that is amazing music..

[@CompileDance]

So... the tricks aren't a crutch, they're an enhancement.

[@VintageApplesauce1]

wow

[@aznhop21]

[@Evitaschannel]

Thank you so much!

[@noahburns1330]

why didnt they join hhi?

[@TheJunu10]

the songs please! anyone?

[@ACADEMYOFVILLAINS]

dancing is dancing, people have different ways of expressing it. you might wanna know your history a little bit more before saying what is dance and what isnt. because im sure a TON of bboys would argu your statement.

[@sandeshdevarukhakar8895]

hey pls send me track list

[@FerryMalsadaFMAZINGTV]

Can anyone give me the title of dubstep part. 4:00 please? :-(

[@oscar2op]

Does anyone know the song at 2:50??

[@JamMastaJeremy]

I didn't say AOV were cheerleaders and gymnasts, just that you used moves in this set that they made popular before b-boys did. Your reaction to that was disappointing, tbh. When y'all are dancing, it's like you're saying "Hell yeah we do tricks. We fucking OWN that shit!" Then you come on here and you're all, "We don't need stunts... we do other styles too... b-boy history..." Why so apologist? Not saying there's not room for improvement, but take pride in your style. It's awesome as is.

[@vin94]

well shit.. damn !

[@lmor1596]

Whats the song at 4:38-4:39

[@ram251092]

Name of the song at 04:00 ? Somebody please help

[@kolhedevesh]

wht song frm 4;48????

[@JamMastaJeremy]

I'm not trying to dictate your reaction or anything, but with the words you chose it seemed like you were throwing your stunts under the bus to defend your choreo. And I'm sitting here reading your comments and thinking, "But I like this piece as a WHOLE!" You know what I mean? It'd be like Jordan getting on a vid and saying "just so you know, I'm aware that I didn't have to switch hands mid-air to make that layup." Anyway, I'm glad to see what you're saying now.

[@StylezLeCobra]

seriously no song id??? damnn shazam aint shit!

[@daonlygonerth79]

anyone know the tracks at 4:00 onwards?/

[@Evitaschannel]

I'm still trying to find it in the comments :(

[@ScarletCoatedCherry]

What song was 3:18?

[@georgiabrittany]

They kind of copied GRV 2012 a bit with the ending and music at the start

[@geraldpaulochavez3338]

Georgia i mean not really..

[@ThePaulaShin]

MCR

[@JamMastaJeremy]

Lol, no need to change your tune now, Pharside's just being defensive. Gymnasts and cheerleaders were using most of the moves you're complaining about before b-boys were. I'd call them stunts personally, but there's no shame in calling them something like tricks to distinguish them from the rest of the choreo. However, i disagree that they're unnecessary since they go with the music so well. I mean what else did you want in the parts of the songs that say "DROP" or "CHECK THIS OUT"?

[@ACADEMYOFVILLAINS]

LOL my reaction? who gives a fuck about my reaction... what was my reaction post to be? I know what i like and ill continue to do it, regardless of anybody saying this or that. But please dont think im apologizing to any one. Re read my comments a little more closer... I said we dont need to rely on "stunts" in our routines, you would know that we get no points in choreography competitions for any "stunts" we do. "I JUST LIKE FUCKIN STUNTS" :) and our dance speaks for it self....

[@cloudydaez]

They were ripped off....should have come first.

[@ACADEMYOFVILLAINS]

hey subscribe to my channel! :)

[@djolivernobeat]

name of 2nd song please ?
