Congratulations to Pharside and Krystal Meraz!

It's been quite a year so far for that CJ "Pharside" Jennings - Academy of Villains have been taking the dance world by storm (from HHI to AGT), he's been dropping sick concept videos on his Youtube channel, and to top it all of, he is now officially engaged to AOV co-director, and equally talented dancer Krystal Meraz! From all of us here at the Blogging Best Dance Crew Community, congratulations to the both of you! We're looking forward to seeing even greater things from the pair of you!

To celebrate, here are just a few videos of these two dancing together

Video: Jun Quemado (Mos Wanted Crew) choreography - "Scream"

Jun Quemado is one of many superb choreographer/dancers in Mos Wanted Crew (ABDC Season 7), but seems to get less press and attention than the others. Time to rectify that oversight -- watch this routine choreographed by Jun to Usher's "Scream". On MrJunQuemado Youtube.

New crew to watch for: Brat Pack (from 8 Count family)- "Switch Lanes"

8 Count Dance Company in Canada has produced several superb dance groups including Blueprint Cru (America's Best Dance Crew Season 5 runners-up) and Irratik (ABDC Season 7). Brat Pack is their group of teen boys, and I love this latest video from them -- "Switch Lanes". From ErAdila18 Youtube.
