Exclusive video from NY ABDC 5 auditions: Smash!

We attended part of the auditions and callbacks for America's Best Dance Crew Season 5 in New York on December 12-13, 2009, and were allowed to film a few of the performances. IMPORTANT: We have no inside information or influence with the decision makers for MTV and ABDC. 

Here's Smash, from Puerto Rico. This video is a splice of two different audition performances that the crew gave on the first day of NY auditions. The first time they performed for the audition judges, my view was obstructed until near the end.  They performed the routine again immediately afterwards and I moved to the other side of the room where I had an unobstructed view. During that second performances, one of the crew members pulled a hamstring toward the end of the routine, and had to be taken to the hospital. (He was fine by the next day).  I did not want to show his injury, so I spliced together the two videos even though they show very different angles. No matter -- Smash is a crew to watch!
