Interview with ABDC Casting Director: audition schedule, what they haven't seen yet, the 'it' factor

LA Times interviewed Michelle McNulty, casting director for America's Best Dance Crew, and it's a must-read for crews that are considering auditioning for ABDC Season 6. Among the topics:

• The auditions will be in late January/early February. New York and Los Angeles are definite, and two other cities will probably be added
• "We've never really had a straight krumping crew ... A jerk crew, house crew. Turfing. There's definitely styles that I'd like to see get on and be represented." 
• She talks about the importance of originality and the "it" factor, defined as the personality that winning crews like Super Cr3w and Poreotics show at the auditions and in the casting interviews
