The Hottest Hip-Hop dance crews light up the dance floor!

Yo, what up, dawg?  Are you ready to bring it? !!!

"American Idol" Judge and renowned record producer, Randy Jackson, has created a sensational dance show in which competing teams of Hip-Hop dance crews compete for a $100,000 prize on the new MTV Dance Series, "America's Best Dance Crew".  Ya gotta see it.

Hosted by "Dancing with the Stars" heart-throb, Mario Lopez, and judged by "So You Think You Can Dance" star, Shane Sparks, 'N Sync, JC Chasez, and Hip-Hop Recording Artist, Lil' Mama, this is one of the best-produced dance shows on television.  The studio, set and stage are sensational.  In-the-round seating helps elevate the energy of the audience.  The production values are exceptional.

ABDC is a stunning blend of Hip-Hop, Jazz, Popping, Strobing, and Gymnastic movements right from the streets.  But the dancing is classy, sophisticated and incredibly technical.  Some of the stunts that these young kids pull off are simply amazing.

Teams consist of a all-guys, all-girls and a mix of the two.  The routines are as colorful as they are powerful.  Each crew is assisted by a choreographic advisor, music editor and wardrobe specialist.  Teams dance to their own choice of songs as well as the producer's choice of songs.  Props and themes - such as the songs of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" - have been incorporated into recent shows.

The series started with 12 crews and only 6 remain.  Tune in to MTV at 10 PM every Thursday to see it.  The dancing will absolutely knock your socks off.
