Week 5 Preview -- Janet Jackson tribute

The LA Times reports that, for the Janet Jackson tribute next Thursday, the Crews will dance tong to "Control," "Nasty," "If," "All Nite (Don't Stop)," "I Get Lonely" and "Black Cat." The crews were given clip reels of Janet's greatest dance moves for inspiration. And, in the show finale, the crews will perform together to Jackson's "Rhythm Nation."

Do you think Janet and family will show up? More importantly, which of the crews with girls (Fanny Pak, A.S.I.I.D, SoReal Cru) will have the best wardrobe malfunction?

Reactions to Speed Up Challenge - Week 4

Dance Crew pushes the crews' skills with a Speed-Up Challenge. Phresh Select's banner falls. What did YOU think? Post your reactions here.

BABDC Love for Phresh Select

You were a worthy competitor, whether it was doing it old-school in Week 1, bringing on some Chris Brown suave in Week 2, or poppin' it in Week 3. The crew's roots -- bringing together rival Philadelphia crews -- are phresh indeed. And -- you were fun. We'll miss you, and hope to see a lot of Phresh Select over the coming years.

Note: only positive comments in this post, please. Any other thoughts belong in our reactions post here.
