The team won the regional competition and went through to the finals. They won the mega crew division, making them the current national champions.
"We're hoping to win this year as well."
Tansi says she had a lot of talented dancers to pick from.
"I'm blown away by all the talent I've seen. There was a lot of auditions and interest about this. It's been really hard to pick the crew."
Twenty-three dancers have been selected for the 2021 Taranaki HipHop Community Interschool mega crew The Sorority. Of the 23, three are local to Stratford. They are Elliott and Mckenna Gernhoefer from Stratford High School, and Tegan McNab.
This year Royal Family original dancers Kyra Aoake and Quinn Prendergast will be helping the team with choreography.
"They both have many career highlights but one of my favourites is Kyra's AMA 2015 performance with J-Lo."
Being part of the crew has many benefits, she says.
"The dancers make a lot of connections, create memories and are provided with a sense of achievement. There's a lot of dedication and commitment that goes into it but they receive good results."
She says the crew is like a big family.
"They help each other out. It's a very nurturing environment."
