ABDC6 auditions Spotlight NY: Illmatic Force, Irratik, JHHA Droppas, Moonrunners, Motion Picture, Phunk Phenomenon

Who will compete on America's Best Dance Crew Season 6?  Almost no idea! We do know names for most of the crews that did well during their auditions.  We will soon run a contest to let you 'cast' which of the crews you think should make it to ABDC6 Top 10.  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. 

Today: Part 2 in our coverage of the NY auditions, featuring six more crews that made it to callbacks during the New York auditions. Tomorrow: Part 3 of 4  on crews who auditioned for ABDC6 in New York and made it to callbacks

  • Irratik is a Canadian crew that developed at the 8 Count Dance Center, home of ABDC5's Blueprint Cru and ABDC auditioners 8 Count (the ones that auditioned in Chicago, not the ones who auditioned in NY!). They won the Silver medal for Varsity at Hip Hop International 2009. Their Facebook account appears to be unused; leave a comment if you have a better way to follow them.
