Quest Crew is a dance crew formed in California in 2005. They placed 1st place in 2009 on the show 'America's Best Dance Crew', and placed 2nd at the kb-boy world masters in Korea. They are comprised of mostly of Asian American Males, although there is a girl that joins them on occasion. The group seems loosly knit with members performing with other groups, or solo at times and coming together for larger competitions. Each member has their own specialty, and brings flair to the group. Quest incorporates their other talents into their routines, music composition, artistry, martial arts, and gymnastics. Some members are in multiple groups. These groups are professional dance crews paid to perform and compete all over the world in various venues and competions. They are fun to watch, and I am amazed at the popularity of hip-hop across the world. They also take time to teach and volunteer at the Quest Learning Center in California, from whom they take some inspriation and their name. While they represent the more comercial aspects of Hip-Hop, I believe it is a sign of the popularity of the dance. There are crews world wide performing and competing. Kids in streets world wide are popping, locking, and tricking. I truly thought that this art form died out and was lost to gansta rap forever. I am really happy to see such talented crews, profesionals, and amitures out there continuing, and evolving the art form.
