The Main Event Report Pt.1: Interviews with Boxcuttuhz, Lost Kids, Boogie Bots, ICONic

On February 28, Fr3sh Dance Troupe hosted The Main Event, the first dance East Coast hip hop competition. Twelve teams from DC, New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, and New Jersey competed for the title, the trophy, and a winner's belt.

Before the show and during intermission, I talked to judges, teams, and audience members who had an America's Best Dance Crew connection: Rocko from Boxcuttuhz, Brian (Boogie Mind) from Boogie Bots, Brandon Tyler from ICONic, and the Lost Kids (who auditioned for Season 3, and are favorites of many of my readers). They discussed their ABDC experience, how the show impacted them, who they want to win this season (my favorite phrase: The Lost Kid's 'Freak the Quest'!), and showed me some of their favorite moves.

Here's my noisy hallway interview with Boxcuttuhz' Rocko: Click here to see the interviews with Brandon, Brian, and the Lost Kids. And come back later for a report on the performances, complete with videos of the Lost Kids, Fr3sh Dance Company, Boogie Bots, and the winning crews.
