A hip hop dance crew made
up o f members from Portland
and Vancouver has won the right
to compete on the popular music
video show 106 and Park, a pro­
gram on the BET (Black Enter­
tainment Television) network.
The group F.I.O., which stands
for Future is Ours, got their March
2 invitation to compete on the
show after winning a regional
talent search completion in Port­
land on Oct. 9.
Amber Dines, a spokesper­
son and promoter for the group,

said the audition was made pos­
sible when Javonne Sheam, the
owner o f Jai D ’Shea Entertain­

and artist development company,
reached out to the show ’s talent
scouts Blaze the Stage.
“ No one believed a competi­
tion like this would come here,
but with the hard work and dedi­
cation o f Javonne Sheam, she
made it possible by contacting
Pat Charles the senior show
writer o f BET and together they
paved the way making it pos­

sible for our very own hip hop
dance crew F.I.O to win the
competition as first pick,” Dines
said.
F.I.O. does need local sup­
port to make it to New York.
Whether that’s voting for them
once the show airs or helping
fund them with their plane tick­
ets and hotel costs, any and all
donations will be greatly appre­
ciated.
