Videos: MTV gets personal with Southern Crews

Because America's Best Dance Crew's is only an hour long, you don't get much sense of what the crews are really like beyond a factoid here, a sob story there, followed by their routines.This season, MTV is addressing that gap with some in-depth crew interviews conducted days before the tapings, while the crews are relatively unstressed. 

The result: a much better sense of what it takes to work together as a dance team and how ABDC is meaningful to each of them. You also get a much better sense of what the crew's overall personality like -- boisterous, silly, contemplative, determined -- and how that impacts their routines. So, if you want to understand the ABDC crews beyond what you see on the show, check out the interviews with X-treme Motion, Royal Flush, Swagger Crew, Ghost, and Jungle Boogie (who also have a great story about their ABDC5 audition travails):
