Survey Results: Top Performances of 'all time'

After a week and almost 1000 votes, the results are in for our survey on the top America's Best Dance Crew performances 'of all time.' As mentioned in the survey, we wanted to pick 10 crews and the favorite performance for each, and asked people to only vote for one dance per crew. Results: 8 easy choices. I'm putting them in alphabetical order because (for multiple reasons) a ranking would misrepresent the data's meaning:
  • Beat Freaks - Freeze (36%)
  • Fanny Pak - Get Ur Freak On (27%)
  • JabbaWockeeZ - PY (30%)
  • Kaba Modern - Audition (28%)
  • Quest - Hip Hop Decathlon (41%). Note: OrQuestra close behind with 39%
  • SoReal Cru - A Milli (32%)
  • Super Cr3w - We Fly High (26%)
  • Supreme Soul - Audition (17%). SS had both the highest cumulative vote (over 4 performances), and the highest single performance vote for a crew not yet listed
To choose the final 2 (in order to pick 10 performances), I chose 2 ways to cut the data: Either most popular performance for a crew not yet named, or most popular crew (cumulative votes). Alternative 1:For most popular performance for a crew not yet named:
  • Boxcuttuhz - Bonafied Lovin (16%)
  • Boogie Bots - Game Over (15%)
Alternative 2: Most popular crew not yet named, based on cumulative votes across the survey:
  • Strikers (25% cumulative) - Move if you Wanna (14%)
  • Team Millennia (18% cumulative) - Me Against the Music (10%)
Click here for more analysis, including the top 10 single performances and the cumulative crew scores. Note that this additional information is not representative of trends due to survey limitations and instructions -- so don't start arguing about it! I'm only presenting it because of several requests). And let me know today if you really want me to rerun the survey, allowing multiple votes for each crew.
