We'd have to take it back to the days of *NSYNC to find a boy band with the dance skills to match their hit single, but all of that is about to change (finally!) Meet PRETTYMUCH . The five-guy group is made up of Brandon Arreaga, Austin Porter, Edwin Honoret, Zion Kuwonu, and Nick Mara, and following them on social media has shown they're bringing back the boy band dancing—and quite possibly better than ever before. With their catchy first single "Would You Mind" reaching the top 10 on Spotify's Viral 50, they're set to make their official performance debut on the Teen Choice Awards stage, August 13th.
"I started dancing when I was 9," Nick tells us when we caught up with the boys. "I took hip-hop, jazz, and contemporary—my aunt, without me knowing, signed me up," adds Nick, who even appeared on season 6 of "America's Best Dance Crew" with the ICONic Boyz. Brandon also trained in hip-hop, jazz, and contemporary growing up, but the rest of the boys have been working hard in classes and rehearsals for the past year and a half after being put together as a group by Simon Cowell. "I can't pick up choreography as well," Austin explains when asked about any challenges. "Yeah, we're a little slower, but we catch up," Edwin says. Judging from the videos they've shared on social media and the list of choreographers they've worked with, which includes Matt Steffanina, Lando Wilkins, J.D., Jamie King, and The Kinjaz, it seems like they're doing a pretty good job of keeping up.
As for any nerves leading up to their big performance, the boys agree they're more excited than anything else. "As soon as I step on the stage, the nerves go away," Brandon tells us. "We hype each other up." After the TCAs, the boys are all looking forward to putting out their new music (we got to hear a few of the upcoming songs, and trust us, they're good ). "We have a music video coming soon, too," Zion assures us. Until then, you can get your PRETTYMUCH fix with some of our fave dancing videos, below. And stay tuned to our Instagram where the boys will be taking over tomorrow, August 10th!
