Exclusive Podcast with Strikers All-Stars - ABDC is like summer camp!

I spoke with Strikers All-stars on Wednesday, after their elimination on America's Best Dance Crew's Battle of the Sexes Challenge.

After having each member introduce himself, Tallie Brinson talked to me about how going to school together helped the crew work together, what it was like to hear that they were picked for the show, their extensive preparation (think skipping holiday family time for classes and choreography strategizing), how the ABDC experience compares to being on 106th and Park (with Ringmasters!), straightening up some misconceptions about the crew, how far they expected to go, their plans, favorite memories, and much more.

I was bowled over by the insight and planning that Strikers puts into all their actions -- they are clearly the role model for what it takes to succeed on America' Best Dance Crew. Listen in:
