WOD: Can you give us a little background about the crew? How long have you been together and how did you meet?Royal Thieves: Royal Thieves is a NYC Hip-hop based crew that has been around for only 3 years.The group we have now is a complete different group then what we started with but isstronger now than ever. We are under the direction of Deshawn Da Prince who is alsoour choreographer and Maricela Ferran who is his assistant and our business manager.Deshawn kind of hand selected everyone on the crew and we all happened to just getalong so well. Our vibe is pure and it stems from our mentors teachings anddevelopment. It feels like a family gathering everytime we meet upWOD:What are you feeling going the Championships?Royal Thieves: Going into the championships is honestly a dream come true. We work really hard but to be honest going into the WOD show in Boston we didn't think we would come out being placed we just wanted to go and entertain so when we got 3rd place and crowds favorite it was more thanwe can ask for. Going into this we have the same mindset , we just want to dance and putsmiles on everyone's faces.WOD:What is your favorite part of competing in World of Dance?Royal Thieves: The best part about competing in WOD is seeing all the other talented groupsperform and knowing that its always so much more we can work on. Its so motivatingand inspiring to see so many unique dope crews in one place at one time.WOD:What part of your dance, choreography, or performance are you most proud of?Royal Thieves: The part of our dance that we are most proud of is the ending. Last time wecompeted we did this hype Jersey club style to end it with some dope visuals and wethought this time we should bring it back but on a whole new level. Very excited to showyou guys what we came up with this time around.WOD:What exciting things will you be doing/focusing on in the next year?Royal Thieves: There are a couple of exciting things we have been working on leading into the nextyear. We just auditioned for the WOD NBC TV show and hope that we make it onto theshow. We also will be attending Monsters convention and competing again in WOD butdecided to try it in our own home town N.Y.WOD: Why do you think dance is important to the world?Royal Thieves: We think dance is important to the world because its the one thing that can helpexpress emotions without words. We use dance to get away from all the negative thingsgoing on in life. If more people listened to music and allowed their soul to breath it wewould have a better place. Dance is love !WOD:What’s your favorite part about being a crew?Royal Thieves: Our favorite part about being a crew is that we are more than a crew, we are afamily!WOD:Anything else you’d like to add?Royal Thieves: We honestly just want to thank you for the opportunity. We have worked to hard toget to this point and we just want to put on a great show because win or loss this is oneof the greatest opportunities we have ever had. We get to compete with the WORLD!!!
