World of Dance NY 6/13: Beat Freaks, Ringmasters, Iconic, Boogie Bots ++!

World of Dance NY is shaping up to be as big a dance extravaganza as the Big Apple has ever seen. It will be held on Saturday June 13 at the Roseland Ballroom in Manhattan. Click here to see the full poster, which has ALL the information and a coupon for $5 off tickets at the door. All ages are welcome. Click here to buy tickets online now -- tickets are $32.50 now, $40.oo at the door!

Over 30 dance crews and b-boys will compete for $10,000 in cash and prizes, including R2D2, Rhythm City, Fr3sh, Point Blank, and other crews that stood out (for me) at the New York Season 3 auditions for America's Best Dance Crew. The producers and audition judges for ABDC 4 will be attending WOD NY, scouting the talent-- join them at the event and you'll probably witness at least one of the Season 4 competitors!


But wait, there's more: the four industry showcase crews for the event are America's Best Dance Crew alums -- Beat Freaks, Ringmasters, Iconic, and Boogie Bots. Judges include Geo Hubela (Iconic), Beau Fournier (Fanny Pak), and Karla Fournier (Kaba Modern). These crews will also be around for a meet-and-greet session from 6-7pm. There will be scads of merchandise sold, crews to watch, and even an afterparty. The World of Dance (presented by dancetagtv)combines choreography, freestyle dance, fashion, and youth cuture to make it a premiere dance competition.

So, if you're on the East Coast and enjoy America's Best Dance Crew, definitely attend this event! I'll be there!
