Elektrolytes


The Elektrolytes are an all-male dance crew formed by a group of local dancers within the area of Gilbert, Arizona in 2006. They are the winner of the seventh season of America's Best Dance Crew. They are also the winners of Hip Hop International USA 2011 Adult Division, and finished seventh in the World Hip Hop International 2011 Finals.

History

Before forming Elektrolytes, they were all friends in school and years later they decided to make a dance crew naming themselves Elektrolytes as dance fuels their body and it's what plants crave.
The crew auditioned for America's Best Dance Crew three times, failing to pass each time. After placing first at HHI 2011 USA for the Adult Division, the crew decided to audition for ABDC and passed.

ABDC 7

Elektrolytes were declared ABDC Champions on the Live Finale June 13, 2012.
