Background[]
What do you call a brotherhood of teenage street dancers without a name? Now known as The Shape, none of the dancers in this all-male dance crew had any previous dance training prior to joining their high school performing arts program five years ago. But after winning eight U.S. national championship titles together as members of their high school hip-hop dance team, these teenagers from Monterey Park, California, are ready to bring their creativity to a whole new level. This teen hip-hop program experiences a frequent revolving door of new dancers each year, which forces the group to constantly shapeshift to maintain their winning streak. Together, they dance as brothers. As one united force, they are The Shape. The Shape were also on the 3rd season of World Of Dance, and were eliminated in The Duels.
Audition[]
The Shape's audition was not televised. Although it is known that their audition was an online audition. At least 3 judges voted "yes", sending The Shape through to the judge cuts.
