Los Angeles, May 6

The Kings, a hip-hop dance crew from Mumbai, has found international glory with their victory on American reality television show "World of Dance", taking home a cash prize of $1 million.

"The Kings are officially 'World of Dance' royalty. Sending big love to our champions," read a post from the official Twitter handle of "World Of Dance".

Judges Jennifer Lopez, Ne-Yo and Derek Hough stood up in awe of the finale performance of the NBC show by the all-men group The Kings, which performed a high-octane sequence involving stunts in slow-motion.

The 14-member Bolly-Hop squad, involving males aged 17-27, was consistently getting ace scores during its run on the show.

Among their competitors were Canadian contemporary dancer Briar Nolet, the sister duo of Ellie and Ava, VPeepz, a hip-hop group from the Philippines, and Unity LA, a 10-person squad from Southern California. IANS

it was a 14 year journey for them, they broke up, regrouped and came back so much stronger, the comments on youtube are mind blowing, specialy since they are from all over the world, NBC is publicising it a lot too, their LOWEST SCORE in the entire journey was 97.7 which was still higher than the runners up 95.7, it is amazing !!!!

and then to create a world record on WOD STAGE...…..

Congratulations,they are an amazing group of dancers

Good for them that they won, but not sure if similar performance in India would have gained so much praise. TBH, i felt the performance was good not mind blowing.
