Profiles of Southern Crews: X-Treme Motion, Royal Flush, Swagger, Jungle Boogie, Ghost

On the premiere episode of America's Best Dance Crew Season 5, five crews who auditioned in Atlanta and Houston will compete for 3 spots in the 'Top 9.'  Click here to see MTV Remote Control's photos and short description of each crew (thanks, DanielT!). Here's info about the crews, culled from MTV's descriptions and internet research:
  • Ghost Crew from Houston "met through their local dance venues over the past five years seeking a way out life’s hardships, gangs, and family death." No contact info yet. Here's a performance from Houston Carnival 2009 (thanks for the link, Ur Welcome :) and Spinja!):


  • Jungle Boogie hails from Stone Mountain, GA. Their style is Crankin, which "uses big step movements and arms to cover the entire dance floor. Each member has a "unique animalistic move". I'm still looking for videos and contact  info for them
  • Royal Flush from Atlanta auditioned for every season of America's Best Dance Crew, albeit with some membership changes. Their style is krumping, tutting, breaking, popping, and salsa. Click here for their MySpace and here for their Twitter. Here's a video of them opening for Fantasia, from their RoyalFlushCrewAtl Youtube Channel
