From humble beginnings in Sydney's western suburbs, the nine-member Justice Crew outfit has become one of Australia’s hottest new talents. The troupe has also invested in Justice Academy Inc, a program which helps disadvantaged young Australians work on their confidence, self-expression and team-building skills by hosting free dance workshops and classes.

All nine-members are hands-on at the Justice Academy, which uses music and dance to empower future generations. Age is no barrier.

The nine hip hoppers come from diverse backgrounds, with dancing the common thread. They met through dance circles in their late teens and in early 2009 became "Justice Crew" under the mentorship of New Zealand-born dance veteran Maurice June.

INTRODUCING... THE CREW

Emmanuel "EMan" Rodriguez

A specialist in breakdancing and on-stage acrobatics. A born performer with a touch of a cheeky side, Rodriguez can hold his own on any stage.

Samson Cosray Smith

Like his namesake, the New Zealand-born breakdancer has power in spades. He's the head-spin king in the group, who carries a smooth-ness into his performances.

Solo Tohi

A choreographer with a penchant for breakdancing and body-popping, Tohi is a creative force in the side. A New Zealander from Tongan and Tanzanian background, Tohi's ideas become the blue-prints for Justice Crew shows. Tohi says Christian faith plays a part in the crew's philosophy. “That talent was given to us from God. We just use it; it's for God's use. It's a gift from him. It's not ours.”

Omar Kamara

Big on musicality, Kamara is Justice Crew's resident American hip hop aficionado. He lights up the stage everytime with his wit and style.

The Twins (Len John Ruela Pearce and John Len Ruela Pearce)

The young guns in the pack, these brothers have only two-years of dancing under their belt and little technical background. These twins of Filipino and Australian heritage bring a raw-ness to the crew, an impressive knack for picking-up choreography and double the passion.

Paul Eric Merciadez

With his long hair and rat's tail, Merciadez is hard to miss. Looks can be deceiving. "He's so clean. He's like the polish you apply to your car" says Rodriguez.

Lukas Wildrok

Breakdancer Wildrok is the all-rounder of the Crew and each time he hits the stage, expect the unexpected.
