They began entering underground hip-hop battle competitions, and together with their crew, Criminalz Crew, won countless battles.
In 2008 Les Twins participated in France's Incroyable Talent, France's equivalent to America's Got Talent, and danced their way to the finals in which they earned 6th place. They also made it to the semi-finals of Juste Debout, the largest Hip-Hop competition in the world. In 2011 they won Juste Debout!
In 2010, Les Twins were filmed while performing at the World of Dance competition in San Diego, California. That video went viral on Youtube, and garnered the attention of Ellen Degeneres. Elle invited them to perform on her show, which was their first TV appearance in America. After this exposure, their career took off in a new way.
Through the years since they have toured with many entertainment giants, including Jay Z and Beyonce, with whom they worked and toured with over a period of 6 years. Other entertainers and artists include Missy Elliot, Megan Trainor, and Red Cafe, just to name a few. Les Twins have appeared on innumerable other projects with a wide range of artists, entertainers and sports figures. In addition, Laurent and Larry have conducted countless dance workshops all over the world, in cities on every continent of the world.
