I just want to go on record saying that this season of America’s Best Dance Crew was not only the most amazing season so far, but it’s important to note that two of the final three crews were all-female crews. All season long, I thought Beat Freaks were one of the dominant crews. Even Shane Sparks told me this afternoon that he expected them to win.
And in their own way, I truly believe that they were also winners this season. They may not have been given the trophy or the title, …read more

Tonight, the season finale of America’s Best Dance Crew aired and I had absolutely no idea about which of the two final crews I should root for. I loved them both so much! And after some fantastic dance routines, Quest Crew was crowned the winners of America’s Best Dance Crew.
This group of amazing dancers was one of the two I felt strongly about all season. Last week’s performances were so incredible by Quest that I think America felt compelled …read more

I’m so thrilled to report that I just finished an exclusive interview with master hip-hop choreographer, Shane Sparks. I’ve been a fan of Shane for years, ever since I first saw him on So You Think You Can Dance. He’s personally been instrumental in bringing hip-hop to the mainstream and to give street dancers the possibilities they now have to perform their craft.
He’s also a very friendly, personable man with totally contagious enthusiasm. He got a moment to talk with me just before he had to start getting ready for tonight’s season finale of America’s Best Dance Crew, …read more
America’s Best Dance Crew 5: It’s Down to Two Crews
[Photo: courtesy of Fanscape]
This week on America’s Best Dance Crew, the crews had to incorporate a number of very specific and diffcult dance moves into a longer dance routine. They called it the ABDC Decathlon and all three crews danced to the same music mix. Beat Freaks were voted through to the finale and Quest Crew & Fly Khicks had to battle it out for the other spot. Sadly for the Fly Khicks, they just couldn’t do it this time. They were eliminated.
I’ve been telling you all season long that it was a two crew season this time, and it …read more

This week was a first on America’s Best Dance Crew. For the first time ever, there were two all-girl crews and two all-guy crews in the final four. And just like in the past three episodes, the Fly Khicks battled in the final two and stayed in the competition. Sadly, the Strikers All Stars were eliminated. Also like the entire season so far, the dominant two crews were Beat Freaks and Quest Crew. I can’t decide which one I like more of the two. But I’ll be happy for either of them to win it.
Here’s the …read more

This week on America’s Best Dance Crew it was Illusion Night. Each crew had to incorporate an illusion into their dance routine. That’s tough! They had to learn to be magicians and make it work within a dance. WOW! Most of them did a great job, but sadly for the Dynamic Edition fans, they just didn’t make it past this week. I’m glad that clogging got the chance to be showcased on a national level and even though it’s not one of my favorites, I know that it has a ton of fans. I think all dance …read more

Last night on week 4 of America’s Best Dance Crew, it was the Whack Track Challenge. Each crew had an old song that created a really lame dance sensation and they had to update it to make it cool again. I think they were all great!
Quest Crew was absolutely fantastic!! They had to update the moves from the song The Right Stuff by New Kids on the Block. You have to see Hok in the upside-down suit!
