Who will compete on America's Best Dance Crew Season 5? Early in January, we will run a contest to let you 'cast' which of the crews you think should make it to ABDC5 Top 9. To help you choose and give these crews some exposure, we'll spotlight each of them and show any recent performance videos we can find. We know of 27 crews that auditioned in New York on December 12, 2009, so we will covere them (in alphabetical order) over several days. If you have further information, links or videos to share for auditioning crews, please leave a comment or email us at BloggingBestDanceCrew@gmail.com
Blueprint from Canada won Monsters of Hip Hop 2008 (albeit with different members than the crew that auditioned for ABDC)-click herefor a video of the winning choreography. They are all members of 8Count; you can watch other videos of Blueprint and 8 Count at the 8CountDance Youtube Channel. If the crew is chosen, they will need to obtain US work visas.
