"The 4th ABDC Judge" weighs in on Chart Topper Challenge

One of our readers has unofficially become 'the 4th ABDC judge'. Here's his feedback on the Chart Topper Challenge, written as if he was speaking directly to the crews, critiquing  performance specifics, the battle and the 'walk it out' dance, as well as citing memorable moments for each crew.

 DEFINITELY click here to read his feedback to each of the crews -- I find his format particularly useful  for thinking about the episode as a whole and how the crews are developing. Thanks, Fourth ABDC judge!

Latest on Shane Sparks: D.A. Didn't show up for Court Date!

According to TMZ, Shane Spark's attorney had filed a motion to dismiss the case, and there was a scheduled arraignment on February 19, 2010. However, the specially assigned District Attorney was a no-show due to a scheduling conflict. The DA now has until February 23 to respond to the motion. 

This video shows part of the hearing as well as an out-of-court interview with Sparks where he says that he is feeling confident and just wants to get "back into my job, back into my life."

Video: Ghost's Nationals challenge offering - Imma Be

Ghost wants to show what they might have done on America's Best Dance Crew had they continued longer on the show, so they are planning to choreograph and perform to one song from each of the ABDC5 episodes.

Mailbox: Blueprint fights red tape; DraZtik clarifies ABDC battle question; Saltare profile

  • Montreal Gazette profiles Blueprint Cru and their road to ABDC5, including how almost didn't get their work visas in time to appear on American TV
  • Brown Daily Herald talks to DraZtik, and the article explains a long-standing question on the ABDC battle: "finding themselves among the bottom three teams in the regional, DraZtik was forced to enter the battle rounds. In that part of the competition, they needed to make up three different routines for the three different rounds, though they would only end up performing one of the dances". And, yes they will audition again.

Exclusive - Podcast with Swagger Crew's Jason Croom - what went wrong, what went right!

I chatted with Swagger Crew's Jason Croom after America's Best Dance Crew's first Nationals show (aka the Chart Topper Challenge). We talked about Swagger Crew's earlier auditions for ABDC and what their time on the show was like. Jason described both the high points of their ABDC experience (e.g., which crews they connected with, how it felt to perform in front of the audience), and the lows (why Swagger Crew's most recent performance felt short of what they can accomplish). He also answered reader questions from Archie, Jai and Dragman! Ariel (well, a variation of Ariel's question!), and crew plans. Jason was humble, reflective, and engaging to talk to -- I'm sorry he and the crew went home so soon! Listen here to the conversation:


Chart Topper Challenge recaps - first round, including Arnel Calvario's LATimes article

  • AC Slater is disappointed with some of the crews he loved during the Regional competition, and wants to see Omarion replaced
  • Spoil the Ending hated some of the music choices and gives the "Youtube that Sh*t" award of the night to Jungle Boogie
  • LATimes prints a shorter version of Arnel Calvario's critiques of the ABDC5 Top 9 crews (see this post) along with some short crew interviews.

Kaba Modern Founder Arnel Calvario critiques latest ABDC show - are the judges employing the right standards?

After the taping of America's Best Dance Crew's Nationals episode (aka the Chart Topper Challenge), Chris Trondsen and Glenda Morales met with Arnel Calvario to discuss what they saw. Arnel is one of the best people I know to evaluate America's Best Dance Crew since he founded Kaba Modern; choreographs and dances in his own right for Kaba Modern and other groups; manages Beat Freaks, Fanny Pak, and Kaba Modern Legacy; and was covering the show for the LA Times. He is also one of the most constructive and articulate people I've met during my time covering ABDC.

Arnel critiqued each of the nine performances and the judges' reactions, as well as talking about the upcoming Urban Street Jam event. He raises some intriguing questions, including whether crews like Poreotix should be judged on their own style or be coerced by judges into becoming more 'universal'; he compares the situation to JabbaWockeeZ who were not asked to vary their own style for the show. 

His video critique is long and detailed, but very valuable feedback and reflection for dancers, MTV, and avid dance fans. Here's Part I and Part III; I'm featuring Part II here to spotlight the discussion o Poreotix. But, please watch all three and give us your own feedback.

Send some love to Swagger Crew!

Swagger Crew was one of our readers' early favorites for America's Best Dance Crew Season 5 for good reason, and we're sorry to see them leave so soon. They brought  street dancing to America with cool footwork and teamwork. Their performance in the Southern Regionals showed everyone that Atlanta deserved attention and respect.

This post is only for positive comments about Swagger Crew. If you have negative comments or want to talk about something else, please take it to this week's Critics Corner.

Preview from the Pressbox - Chris Trondsen on ABDC5's Nationals

Chris Trondsen gives a preview and some teasers for tonight's episode of America's Best Dance Crew:
Back stage, everyone talks to each other and makes predictions about who will do the best and who will go home.  This week was a complete shock.  Everyone thought the same two crews were in the running to go home.  We were way off.  One of the crews that everyone felt was going to go home had probably the BEST performance of the night.  They stepped it up 100% and just blew everyone out of the water including the judges.In fact, almost all of the 9 crews had solid performances, all showed improvement, and some even had near perfect routines.  

What was crazy is in all the times I’ve ever been backstage, I’ve never felt the energy that I’ve felt this week in the crowd, backstage, and from the crews.  You could here them pumping each other up backstage before going out.  And when watching, you felt it too.  Several crews were not favorites after the Regionals, but the audience fell in love with them during the Nationals because they performed better than ever imagined. A lot of the crews won over fans.

Some other fun things you will see this week is two crews take off their shirts, one crew brings back a trick the judges hated that won them over this time, a little body paint, and a bunch of tricks and flips! 

Click here to read the rest of Chris' preview, including the vibe from the crews before the taping, how people think Season 5 is shaping up, and other backstage tomfoolery. Thanks Chris!

Exclusive interviews with Heavy Impact, Blueprint, Static Noyze, Jungle Boogie: runway, personal ads, dance demos ++

This week, all our crew interviews are spoiler-free so we'll share them now.  There are common themes: their attention and reactions to blogger and Facebook comments; their admiration for the other crews (though some do name favorites!);  fresh wardrobe and hair looks; and their earnestness at wanting to do well on America's Best Dance Crew. But each interview has a different vibe that really reflects the spirit of the crew. Interview highlights:
  • Click here for Heavy Impact's personal introductions, dealing with hard critiques, and Izzy's ballet demonstration!
  • Static Noyze talks about the potential impact of a crew injury and clears up some rumors and misconceptions about the crew
  • Blueprint Cru treats us to an impromptu runway show and addresses question on whether being Canadian might impact people voting for them
  • And Jungle Boogie are complete animals -- one of the most fun ABDC interviews I've ever seen

Join us tonight for Live Blogging, the Critics Corner/party room, and more!

We're done with the preliminaries -- time for the main event! Watch America's Best Dance Crew's Nationals with us tonight! The Party Room/Critics Corner opens at 9:30 ET and stays open as long as you want, so you can talk about ABDC5, ABDC 1-4, ABDC 23, dancing, judges, anything remotely related to ABDC.  

At 10pm ET, Del and I will be doing live play-by-play while watching the show, so feel free to play along  get a sneak preview of the action (for those of you from the West Coast/Canada/India or other ABDC-deprived zones).

Exclusive video: Hype 5-0's barechested runway walkoff

Hype 5-0 had some fun with Chris Trondsen and Glenda Morales this week. After talking about some resemblances to SoReal Cru members, answering another Ninjaboi question, discussing freeze tag, Valentines Day splurges and other insane topics, the crew got down to business.  The guys did a runway competition, flaunting some skin and attitude.

Exclusive Video: Poreotix make Glenda an honorary member and answer reader questions!

Chris Trondsen and Glenda Morales (Fanny Pak) joked around with Poreotix at the taping of America's Best Dance Crew's Nationals taping. It appears that Glenda is now an unofficial member of Poreotix, with a promised ritual exchange of fanny packs and sunglasses. The guys also answer questions from ninjaboi (with a shoutout), declare their love for Taylor Swift, demonstrate their ninja hand action, and much more!

What do you want us to ask the ABDC crews and judges next week?

Have some burning questions for the ABDC crews, judges, or personalities? Let us know! Chris and Glenda (Our BloggingBestDanceCrew/dancetag media team) will try to use some of them during their interviews at next week's ABDC taping. And, we'll try to give you a shoutout if we use your question.

Exclusive Podcast with Blended Projekt - their ABDC experience and impressions

I spoke with Blended Projekt leader and choreographer Valerie Ramirez about a week after they appeared on ABDC5's West Coast Regional show. She talked to me about how the crew got permission to use 16-year old dancers, what it was like to be the largest crew to ever appear on the ABDC stage, the fabulous experience of being on ABDC, what the crew might have done differently, and her deep admiration for other hiphop and clogging crews. 

Listen here to the podcast. Even if you originally were not a fan of Blended Projekt, I think you will gain some appreciation for their humble and insightful description of their time on ABDC and their love of dance.

  • One crew from each region was chosen for the Bottom 3 and there will be a lot of viewer debate about the choices
  • The battle was intense and one crew was removed in 'sudden death'
  • Voting begins this week.

Tanooki's take on the ABDC5 top 9

Now that we've seen all 9 crews that will compete in America's Best Dance Crew's Nationals,  some readers have become even more contemplative and creative: 

 "Hey everybody, it's Tanooki! I've been a watcher since season 1, reader of BABDC since season 3, and poster since season 4. I always like to show people the other perspective when it comes to crews predictions and stuff like that. So this is not necessarily a "POREOTIX IS GONNA WIN!!! RAWR!!" type of review, but my view of how each crew could be successful and make it on the show as far they can.  I like to talk about it here...since no one else around me really does except for like my dancing friends haha. Our dream is to audition, which apparently we can do, thank you Blended Projekt! But that's besides the point, READ MY POST READ MY POST! : D"

Click here to read Tanooki's review and predictions about Blueprint Cru, Heavy Impact, Hype 5-0, Jungle Boogie, Poreotix, Royal Flush, Saltare, Static Noyze, and Swagger Cru. Thanks Tanooki!

Hype 5-0: unique dancers triumphing over 'the biggest rejection of their lives'


Hype 5-0 was profiled in the Honolulu Advertiser and has intriguing facts and quotes including:
  •  Why Josh Ulep is called Hazmat: "I like to think of my choreography as something dangerous."
  •   Hype 5-0 auditioned unsuccessfully for ABDC Seasons 3 and 4. They got a call-back for Season 4 but were devastated when they didn't make the final cut. Member William Soares called it the "biggest rejection of my life...Even though it was a big letdown, it was also key in how we made it this season. It gave me the motivation to push harder"
  • Allen-Charles "Brain" Pascual earned a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and pursuing a professional engineer license.

    Radical idea for ABDC5: How about a wild card?

    After the ABDC5 West Coast audition show was over, our interviewers Chris Trondsen and Riquel Olander (We Are Heroes) sat down with Angelica Alumia (Pacific Rim Video) to muse on what they've seen.  They describe their favorite moments in the taping and what they liked about the different West Coast crews. Chris also proposes an idea: a wild card slot for crews who were eliminated too early. I for one like this idea a lot. What do you think?
