Report on World of Dance New York - winners, ABDC crews, fans!

World of Dance NY in Brooklyn on May 29, 2010 was HOT for many reasons:
  • The event was sold out, as over 4200 people filled Brooklyn Tech.
  • 43 different crews performed, including America's Best Dance Crew Season 5 alums (Poreotix, Blueprint, Jungle Boogie, Static Noyze 6) and ABDC5 Season 4 alums (Beat Ya Feet Kings, Rhythm City, Fr3sh, Southern Movement)
  • It was not just a local show this year; there were crews from all over the U.S., as well as one crew (Psyde Project) from Australia and several from Canada
  • The ABDC crews talked to fans and signed autographs for more than an hour
  • There was no air conditioning!
Congratulations to the winning crews -- Psyde Project from Australia took first place, Static Noyze (the larger group, not the one on ABDC5) took second place, and The Family from Montreal won third place. Other awards: Static Noyze also won Best Theme, Project D won Best Costume, and Psyde Project was the Crowd favorite.

I got to WOD 2 hours before it began to stake out good seats. So over the next few days, I'll post videos of the winners, the ABDC crews, and some candid footage of the crowd and the crews. Just be patient -- I'm going to Glee Live today (can't wait to see LXD!) so I've got limited time to process videos right now! But they'll be worth the wait.
