ABDC6 audition Spotlight NY Pt. 1: 8 Count, Boston Tap Co,Da Emperorz, D Code, Hipnotic Phlava, ICONic Boyz/Girlz

Who will compete on America's Best Dance Crew Season 6?  We don't know! But we DO know names for most of the crews that did well during their auditions.  We will soon run a contest to let you 'cast' which of the crews you think should make it to ABDC6 Top 10.  To help you choose and give these crews some exposure, we'll spotlight each of them and show any recent performance videos we can find. 

Today: 6 crews that made it to callbacks during the New York auditions. Tomorrow: Part 2 of 4  on crews who auditioned for ABDC6 in New York and made it to callbacks
