MTV Dance Crew - dance to Bollywood's Singh is Kinng

Back by popular demand: MTV India Dance Crew videos. One reason we held off on posting these: we hadn't been able to find Day One of their Bollywood lesson. But, it's briefly reviewed in this lesson in the first segment, so watch carefully as they teach a dance from Bollywood movie Singh is Kinng (pictured above).

• Part I has a recap and demonstration of the Day One steps
• Part II includes moves like the bedsheet spread and football flick
• Part III briefly profiles choreographer Farah Khan (whose work is familiar even to Americans who have seen Shakira's Hips Don't Lie video) and demonstrates an Around the World Move
• Part IV shows a little of the Singh is Kinng video and teaches the Washing step
• Part V has a tricky football step and breaks down Shahid Kapur's cool move from Aye Papi

We'll post the last part of MTV India's Dance Crew - Bollywood lessons in a day or two. Promise.

Am I being fired?...I've done it for three seasons and will keep doing it...those kids keep me young and hip."

--In a review of the New Kids on the Block show, Syracuse.com describes JabbaWockeeZ as "a techno-pop version of the Blue Man Group."

Super Cr3w in New York - Photo and Part I of interview

Four members of Super Cr3w -- Do-Knock, Ben, Ronnie Boy, and RJ -- made a rare appearance in New York. On March 27, Jon Jon got to meet the America's Best Dance Crew Season 2 winners at the Prime Club, and sent the above photo.

The next day, we were able to interview them between their rehearsal and their appearance at the Blender Theater. The total interview is about 20 minutes long, so we've broken it into five videos and will run one for the next five days.(Apologies for the sound -- the heating system was very loud in the room). In Part I, they talk about what they've been up to since the end of Season 2.

Come back tomorrow for Part II, where they talk about their recent work and discuss how they've used the $100,000 prize money.
