The term triple threat is thrown around a lot when it comes to performing arts, and the pop band Full Circle Boys is a testament to that.
The five-piece band, who all hail from competitive dance and performance backgrounds, have been releasing dance-filled songs throughout the year. Recently, while guest-performing at the UDO World Street Dance Championships in Blackpool, they caught up with Dance Informa.
What makes Full Circle Boys particularly inspiring to dancers is their commitment to connection — both with one another and with the audience. During the interview, Jagger Moon, James Herron, Sean Garrity, Dossan Bell, and Ollie Hincy consistently ensured that each had a chance to share their insights. Clearly used to media interviews, each passed the microphone around effortlessly as we chatted in the hotel lobby.
On connection, when it comes to entertaining the audience, the band are keen to connect with fans, and were off to meet fans straight after the interview. Moon explains that they always end up “staying close to the front” of the stage at all gigs to be as close as possible to their supporters; laughing, he wasn’t sure if that was an intentional choice or simply where they all naturally ended up.
Working closely with choreographer Keone Madrid, who has choreographed for BTS, Justin Bieber and Broadway’s Once Upon a One More Time, the band’s music videos often blend street styles with contemporary fluidity.
The Madrids (Keone and his wife Mari) are known for crafting highly musical, story-driven choreography, and Full Circle Boys music videos are a testament to that.
Their recent video for “This Goes Out to You” has been praised for its pop visuals, pairing sleek vocals with choreography that feels like visual storytelling.
The band credits much of its polish to its shared dance upbringing. Before becoming bandmates, they had trained at competitive studios, learning hip hop, jazz, and contemporary dance from a young age; it was here that many of them crossed paths, years before the band’s formation.
That dance foundation means their stage presence feels second nature: sharp transitions, clean unison and stamina honed through years of rehearsals and competitions.
Often referenced as having a nod to K-pop, the band “are sparking the new generation” of boy bands, with K-pop pulling on many of their inspirations from bands such as NSync and Backstreet Boys.
In our exclusive video interview, the band discuss their start in dance, how social media is changing the way dance and performance are consumed, and what inspires them.
