The story begins in the basement of J&H at Temple University. Five dancers were practicing for a talent show the next day. They decided to bring in a new dancer with quite the reputation at Temple, named Cedric Hall. From a one night practice, the group scored a second place trophy at the show. The 5 dancers who competed began to build a good friendship and continued to dance together in the Spring of 2004. They continued to build upon this relationship throughout the summer, and, come fall, they decided to keep practicing together. However, the team wasn't founded that quickly. They continued to have small practices until one day they arrived at the first TUV online session. B.A.M.N. (another Temple Dance Crew) was performing for the show. The group felt that they could do BETTER and decided to form their own. And thus, the formation of Outta Kontrol. The members collaborated with TUV online, Brandy Staton, and many others in order to build their popularity. The team name was a result of a collaboration of the 2 male founders on Temple University Campus about 8 years ago.
The team has competed in many different events on Temple's Campus as well as many events in Jersey, DC, and Maryland. We are a very diverse team in which consist of many different dance styles: Lockin, poppin, krump, waackin, house, reggae, modern, vogue, dancehall, freestlye as well as commercial choreography.
We enjoy collaboration and fusion of as many styles of movement as possible. We are very creative and energetic. We are a family: we go out together, work together, and play together. School may come first as Temple students, but we will always put forth a commitment to the team and to doing what we love to do: PERFORMING.
We will continue to learn, grow, and develop into a team that is truly unstoppable... and OUTTA KONTROL!
