Video of New York Auditions (with some audition dance clips!) from DanceOn

DanceOn attended the New York auditions for America's Best Dance Crew Season 6. They created this excellent video showing interviews with ABDC producer Howard Schwartz, Casting Director Michelle McNulty, ABDC choreographer Rosaro McCoy, scenes of the crowd outside the auditions, and very brief clips of four of the crews: Stryke Force (the 7-man group in red and black), The Movement (the crew wearing M varsity sweaters), Dramatic (the mime crew), and Fully Forward (the large group wearing different varsity letters). To answer some expected questions: DanceOn does not have full audition videos and only taped a few of the first crews to auditions.

While you're looking at this video, please check out and subscribe to DanceOn. I've started watching them recently and am a big fan of this fresh take on the dance world. DanceOn  promotes dance in mainstream media (film, TV, theater, live events, music videos, viral videos) for a world audience, and tries to foster new or undiscovered dance artists. At this point, They have two weekly programs: Just Dance News (featuring dance in mainstream entertainment) and DanceTube (featuring the top 5 dance videos on Youtube each week).
