dance crew
Choreographed movement group
A dance crew is a group that performs choreographed routines together, typically in hip-hop, breakdancing, or street dance styles.
Crews develop signature moves and compete against other groups in battles or competitions: Our dance crew practices every night in the parking garage.
The term emphasizes collective identity—members represent the crew rather than performing as individuals.
