Spotlight on ABDC6 auditioners: Chicago Pt. 1 - 787 Crew, Canada's 8 Count, CODA, Design, Destined 2 B, N-10-City

Who will compete on America's Best Dance Crew Season 6?  We don't know! But 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: crews that auditioned in Chicago. Note: our information on Chicago and Houston is sketchier than what we know about New York and Los Angeles auditioning crews. PLEASE leave a comment if you have more video, photos, or information on these groups. Tomorrow: more crews who auditioned for ABDC6 in Chicago
  • 787 Crew: As we reported earlier, 787 Crew hails from Puerto Rico and has ties to ABDC3's GOP Crew. Click here to watch part of their audition performance
  • 8 Count: There are two crews named 8 Count that made it to ABDC6 Callbacks. The one that auditioned in Chicago comes from Canada and has ties to ABDC5 runners-up Blueprint Cru. They won World of Dance San Diego 2010. Here's their WOD performance, along with an interview
