    I liked Spike's Facebook status though: " If we win, we win. If we lose, we drink. If we drink, we win."

    Hey guys!! Michelle reporting from San Diego, the competition was amaaazing, everyone's jaw was on the floor, especially by the end of Choreo Cookies. A lot of people thought 2nd and 3rd placings were questionable. A lot of people thought Common Ground and Formality were deserved of those rankings.

    Everyone was SUPER friendly and down to earth, we saw/talked to heaps of true inspirations like Mari Martin, Shaun Evaristo, Erik Saradpon, Keone Madrid etc…

    DVP United got an average score from the judges of 83.7, with Ronnie from Super Crew scoring us the highest score of 92 Woooo!!!! Not exactly sure where that leaves us standing ranking wise, but I'll try and find out ASAP. We're on such a high!!!!!
