Meet the 10 New Crews of America’s Best Dance Crew
- A.S.I.I.D. (Detroit, MI) - They grew up in tough neighborhoods and lean on each other for support. Their inspiration comes from crew member Joey who is deaf.
- Boogie Bots (Washington, DC) - They think of themselves as robots that have come to life. Each performance is dedicated to crew member Joesar’s father, who has been in a coma for the past six months.
- Distorted X (Houston, TX) - All are studio dancers who have dubbed themselves “Houston Socialites — without the money.”
- Fanny Pak (Los Angeles, CA) - This zany bunch is looking to bring back the bold and wacky energy of the 80s with a unique dance style and fashion sense.
- Presh Select (Philadelphia, PA) - This crew wants other teens out there to know that there is more to streets than hate and that hip hop dance can be a positive force.
- Sass x7 (Piscataway, NJ) - The only all-girl crew, these dancers once competed on the Rutgers Dance Team.
- SoReal Cru (Houston, TX) - Students at the University of Houston, this crew looks to their family for encouragement and support - especially when they are forced to practice in a restaurant parking lot.
- Super Cr3w (Las Vegas, NV) - After failing to make the show last season, three crews mergered together to show the world how b-boys do it.
- Supreme Soul (San Francisco, CA) - Full of confidence, this crew has traveled the world competing in hip hop competitions yet they always feel like the underdog.
- Xtreme Dance Force (Naperville, IL) - Disciplined studio dancers, this all-guy crew feels that they are pre-judged for their “pretty boy” looks and are looking to show what fierce dancers they really are.
I’m most fascinated by Sass X7 and Xtreme Dance Force, for their gender-based divisions. I suspect that there are other groups that are all-boy or all-girl, but they make a point of it. Judge for yourself how they compare. I think that Sass relies a little heavily on their beauty - not as much dance chops in there. Still, they sure ain’t no Pussycat Dolls.
