Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew

America's Best Dance Crew is a reality show where hip-hop performers compete in an American Idle style game. Where the top 12 dance crews from around the country will battle it out. The crews – representing Atlanta, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles – will need to bring their best moves to win over the judges, JC Chasez (N*Sync) and choreographer Shane Sparks (“You Got Served”), for one of the eight coveted spots on the weekly competitive group dance series. Randy Jackson Presents: America ’s Best Dance Crew” promises to be one of the most visual and inspiring performance competition shows to ever hit television. It is the first dance competition series for dance crews rather than individual dancers. The top hip-hop crews from around the country will take to the stage floor to earn dance supremacy, a cash prize and touring contract.
Shot on location in Los Angeles, each dance crew of five to seven members will rehearse and demonstrate their most innovative choreography and skills as their intimate life stories and personal drama unfold within the show. Every performance themed episode will tap into the crews’ emotion, spirit and inspiration – from recreating dance music videos seen recently on MTV, to using dance to tell the story of a favorite feature film, to paying homage to the classic grooves of the past.

From “So You Think You Can Dance” to “ Dancing With The Stars” to “ Dance Wars” and now America’s Best Dance Crew. Dance has come back to television. Some viewers might think that this show is just a competition of unprofessional dance groups and so cliché. Your right. These groups are non professional dancers, pulled from the street but put there heart and soul in what they love to do. Some of them choreograph the dances together or have one solo choreographer. Trying to make a name for themselves and one day be sitting in the chair where the judges are and critiquing other dance crews. The media tries in so many ways to reach out to the public for some type of entertainment for them to view. This particular show is good because it’s just not for those who do dance as a profession but for those who love to dance and know what looks good and what doesn’t.

I appreciate that the dance crews are so diverse. Of course society thinks hip hop only pertains to African Americans but it doesn’t. There’s an all white female dance crew as well as an all Asian dance crew, who by they way are FIERCE. The eliminations for the crews are based on the judges opinion but more on America’s vote on who stays and who goes. The crews that stay are the ones who hype up the crowd, the one’s who have the most energy, precise movement and most of all dance well together. If the dance crews keep bringing the same energy every show and new choreographer and great tricks they are bound to keep your attention until the show is finished.
