Finally! Smiles from the performers. Performing is supposed to be fun. For the first time, in a LONG time, this group performs to an uplifting piece instead of a "slash-your-writs-I-hate-life Rap song. Nothing against Rap, but Rap music tends to lean to the darker side of life and from an audience point of view, we want to be entertained, not depressed. Congratulations for making that decision, because I enjoyed this performance very much. A special note to the blonde woman with the hoodie incorporating her tap dancing skills into this number. That brings the entire group up a notch and I'm sure earned higher points from the judges.
Before I watched this video, I'd never heard of The Company, and I was surprised to see an Arena video thumbnail saying that such an unpublicized group win second place. I certainly did not expect to be in tears by the end of these five minutes. The choreography is nothing short of amazing and uses their large number of dancers to perfection. Their dance showed us the highlights of the good and bad in the society we live in today - peer pressure, clique exclusivity, and the prevalent shallowness of mainstream culture; but also the childish joy that we all sustain somewhere within, how one or two people can move an entire people, and the warmth and loyalty in family. Their stage placement, dexterity, lightheartedness, and variation between conformity and rejection of musicality made them truly unique in a dance competition like Arena. They definitely deserved second place, if not first.
Fuck.... Love your love guys. The work you show here is just wonderful... Keep that vibe, you make me happy! Congratulation for that deserved 2nd place!

you should be ashamed you don't know them since it's no near new
unpublicized ? Out of the urban scene, they've recieved the most exposure, especially when they blew up at Vibe's 2014.
Company, Choreo Cookies, and Brotherhood have been topping competitions for years now. They're pretty well known.
dang. the footwork throughout the set though...
The dimensions in this set are insane
Didn't expect to see a dance crew using a Beat Connection's song ! Nice surprise :)
Great choreo as usual by The Company :)
Deserved first. Loved every second!
Still enjoying this piece. So much fun.
This should have been 1st. Cookies was so good, but this was almost perfection.
I got goosebumps this was amazing!
