CREWcial
Comprised of individuals who had been seeking a means to express themselves through the art of dance, "CREWcial CRU" was developed in January 2009. With its dance members hailing from all across the Commonwealth of Virginia, CREWcial's distinct style infuses various forms of hip-hop dance into one unified group. Although still in its infancy, the crew is striving to provide a positive outlet for those in Virginia who also share in the same passion and love for the foundation that has brought the group together --- dance. Ultimately, CREWcial hopes to provide for their local communities; while also, sharing in the same success and camaraderie of the many other dance crews that they look up to and that have come before them.
