Mini bio
How it started.
Parris Goebel founded The Royal Family in 2011 as a MegaCrew at The Palace Dance Studio in Auckland. They won the World Hip Hop Dance Championship’s MegaCrew division in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
The breakout.
Their 2015 World of Dance performance and the dancers’ appearance in Justin Bieber’s Sorry video brought their work to a wider audience. Their signature style, Polyswagg, combines street dance and culture.
The family keeps growing.
The crew tours, makes performance videos and develops dancers through its Auckland studio. Royal Family dancers also performed in Jennifer Lopez’s 2020 Super Bowl halftime show and Rihanna’s 2023 show. In 2026, the crew competed in the International Dance League.
