ABDC4 –Crews Announced! UPDATED

..Hmm we'll see, these crews got a lot to prove. Forsure there are some fan favorites but i dunno a lot of crews have these crazy "antics" (damn vogue dancers w/ 1 transgender, Cowboys, contemporary dancers). Swear they're trying to get different "styles" and just add in -hop to end of it. But i'll give it a shot there are a couple crews i haven't heard of or seen.
Dance Footage and Interviews ADDED.

AFROBORIKE (Las Vegas, NV) [Footage/Interview] – Comprised of fiery Puerto Ricans and Cubans, Afroborike is a hot Salsa crew ready to bring their own brand of raw and sexy Latin dancing to America.

ARTISTRY IN MOTION (North Hollywood, CA) [Audition Click Here] [Footage/Interview] – An all-female crew trying to break the stereotype of “bootyshakers,” they are strong-minded women who bring their own contemporary and original style called “contemp-hop.” (WTH?)

BEAT YA FEET KINGS (Washington, D.C.) [Audition Click Here] [Footage/Interview] – This D.C. crew will take the stage with their very own dance style called “Beatin’ Ya Feet.” Their performances consist of a unique mix of footwork that could make them unstoppable. Although their style is currently only known around the D.C. area, the Kings believe they have created something the rest of the world should see and catch up to. Featured on “It’s Showtime at the Apollo” and an MTV inauguration special, they are slowly making their way into the public eye.

FR3SH (Matawan, NJ) [Audition Click Here] [Footage/Interview] – With a unique blend of jazz and funk, Fr3sh infuses a sense of humor into their choreography and compare themselves to the movie “The Breakfast Club,” priding themselves on being rowdy and rebellious. Their mix of sarcasm, humor, cockiness and raw talent could take them all the way to the top.

WE ARE HEROES (Los Angeles, CA) [Footage/Interview] – This group of effervescent young women came together from New York, Idaho and as far as Japan to fulfill their dreams of dancing in Hollywood. Growing up in all corners of the globe, they were inspired by everything from Fred Astaire to Michael Jackson and have honed their dancing into something they call “Glam Style,” which they hope is good enough to crown them the first girl crew to win “ABDC.”

MASSIVE MONKEES (Seattle, WA) [Audition Click Here] [Footage/Interview] – This Seattle crew have grinded their way through national and international competition at the highest level over the past five years. They have won a number of prestigious titles including B-boy Summit 2000 and the World B-boy Championships at Wembley Arena in London, England.

RHYTHM CITY (Bronx, NY) [Audition Click Here] [Footage/Interview] – Struggling on the streets of the Bronx with little to no familial support gave Rhythm City no other option than to stick together, and they intend to use their original style from the Bronx – “the birthplace of hip-hop” – as a secret weapon. The crew has placed highly in an array of dance competitions including Invasion, Blazin’ the Stage, The Main Event, Switzerland’s Dance 2 Dance and, most recently, they won first place at Culture Shock EDC.

SOUTHERN MOVEMENT (Nashville, TN) [Footage/Interview] – Urban cowboys that hail from the country music capitol of the world, this crew fuses hard-hitting hip-hop choreography with country line dancing. They pride themselves on being able to hang in the club one night and a country bar the next. Referring to their style as “Hick-Hop,” (WTH?) this crew plans to bring something unexpected and their main goal is to change the way America views the South and its residents.

VOGUE EVOLUTION (New York, NY) [Audition Click Here] [Footage/Interview] – The first openly gay crew to ever compete on the “ABDC” stage, the five members of Vogue Evolution are out, proud and determined to live their lives the way they want to. Their distinctive “vogue” style of dance mixed with hip hop makes this crew unique, along with working to educate others on AIDS/HIV awareness. They hope to touch everyone watching with their outspoken flare (Man Hail Nah).
