NY ABDC Audition Highlights: Ridonkulous

More highlights from our day at the NY auditions for America's Best Dance Crew Season 4 on June 14, 2009. IMPORTANT: we have no influence on MTV and America's Best Dance Crew audition judges, and we have no inside information. We just know what we like.

Today's featured crew: Ridonkulous from Cambridge, Massachusetts. The crew is composed of students or graduates from MIT who have better places to be than in Burbank, CA but auditioned anyway. They don't have the polished technique of many of the crews that have appeared on ABDC. Still, I love their humor, their story-based approach to dance (instead of only choreography or stunt based styles) here and in competition, their total lack of pretension, and the fact that they always look like they're having fun! I doubt think they could win on ABDC 4, but they could probably develop a loyal following.
