Yup, it's a show on MTV. One of the very few shows I actually sit down to watch.

But it actually relates to music and dancing, since MTV never really shows either (except extremely late at night where most people are asleep).

Anyways, feel free to discuss your favorite crews and why you like them.

Even (politely!) discuss your least favorites and why.

Who's excited for season 6? :D

Quest Crew!! Well because I take dance clas.ses at Quest Learning Center and I personally know all the guys xD And I love the style, and preciseness of the moves. Popping, Tutting, B-boying, and Tricking. All in one routine. Who could ask for more?

Season 6 is gonna be EPIC, by the wayy.

I personally enjoy Jabbawockeez. I don't know why but their moves are hypnotic. Quest Crew is definitely a close second to Jabbawockeez. QC's performances are always a joy to see.

But that's totally cool that you've met Quest Crew and are taking cl*censored*es by them. :O

I can't wait for season 6!

Aris Paracuelles teaches most of our clas.ses. He was unable to preform on ABDC due to a member limit. Though I think he is much better then Brian Hirano, but thats just me.

Jabba was alright, and the popping is magnificent. But there was no... How can I put this... Originality? No. Um. Each routine hit me the same as the previous one. Kind of redundant. But then again, I am sort of like opinionated |D

I was hoping last year, Hype 5-0 would topple Blueprint Cru. That dissapointed me.

I don't know. I thought each Jabba performance had a spice of something different.

I didn't really like Blueprint Cru. Don't know why exactly. Just thought of them as sort of average. Hype 5-0 seemed more appealing to me.

I think I only rooted for Poreotix because they were all Asian and they had personality. xD

Keep in mind, Quest is like the hometown team. So I'd probably be loyal to the no matter what.

Now Blueproint Cru I disliked.... Alot. They needed to leave much earlier than they did. Hype 5-0 has personality. The were clean, energized, precise, The main guy was really hot, and for me the better crew. They would've actually given Poreotix a worthy opponent.

But poreo probably would have won anyhow. Only thing I have against them is the their robotic style... So easy to master.

I absolutely had no idea why Blueprint Cru survived as long as they did. I did believe Hype 5-0 had slightly better moves than them.

Yeah, I totally agree. Poreotix had their unique spin but I think their charisma caused them to win. But, then again, they've been trying to specialize in the futuristic robotic feel since that's how they started in the competition and they stayed true to it.

Blueprint was probably the "Publiciser" Team. The one the company kept on there because people LOVED to HATE them. So they keep em on so everyone gets on and votes against them. But it just made me made when Crews that deserved a spot like Jungle Boogie and Hype 5-0 go home becaus e of it.

Now Poreo was good, don't get me wrong. But for me as a dancer I just know how simple it is to make crisp pops on the beat.

Grr. Hate it when companies do that. They just let someone through because they know it'll cause some controversy, which will increase popularity for their show. But we have to tolerate it because they're showing off a lot of unique crews like Fanny Pak and that roller skate crew I forgot the name of. I praise the rollerskate crew for having the endurance and skill that they have to actually multitask and Fanny Pak because they were truly different.

Given that most of the viewers aren't dancers, I think it's not really understood that the Poreotix's style is easy.

I really liked KabaModern actually, I have no idea how status quo made it to the finale. <_< They kind of sucked, and were really boring. But then again, I'm more of an intricate than a big move person. Still it should've been between Kaba and Jabba at the end (which the judges agreed with).KabaModern should've won in my opinion. They were cleaner and had more moments that stuck with you than Jabba did.

But this show is so awesome. Although, I can't really watch hiphop dancing anymore without being critical. o_o It's ruined me.

Poreotix was love. I mean if you're going to do one thing (although they pulled off the few tricks they did really fluidly) at least make it entertaining. And it was funny each time.

I know even with expirience, if I tried to dance on skates... I'd fall. I garuntee it. So cahoots to them for sure. Now the jump rope crew... That wasn't really gonna fly with me.

That is also true. But for the untrained, it may be challenging. I'm just saying that Hype could've learned Poreo's style MUCH easier than Poreotix learning Hype's.

Yeah, the jump rope crew was not appealing to me at all. I always remembered some tap dancing country crew. Wasn't quite fond of them either. Seemed repetitive each time. 

Omg, KabaModern was one of my personal favorites. It was hard for me to choose between Kaba and Jabba and I really thought for a minute that they were going to go head-to-head. I was really sad that they didn't. :C

Yes, I understand completely. Every single one of their performances was always funny to watch. You can actually see their personalities show.

KabaModern was amazing. I'm a BeatFreaks fan as well. Quest reigning as my fave.

I love when you can see the crews personality! One of my favorite routines:

And in the intro when he runs into the mirror. I like that part |D

I greatly praise the BeatFreaks for being the first all female group. They truly deserve it.

Haha! I remember that one! xD It was sexy. It was like "ohaithere, how u doin? C; "

Agreed. They have some sick moves!<3 BeatFreaks= Amazing Group.

I love the spunk they give in that one, blindfolded amd wearing mascara. WITH a booty shake. It takes a real man to do that |D

I agree, Quest Crew definitely tossed off insecurities aside for every performance. xD

Hate to say it, but insecurities? Mm not many amongst them. xD

Now one thing I will say is Quest is mainly a compilation of talented dancers, while some other crews feed off of each other. Jabba for example... So in sync, it's somewhat scary.

Just thought you'd like to know this ^^ Omarion is no longer the third judge of ABDC. Who replaced him? Why none other than Dominic "D-trix" Sandoval.

My first reaction to this.... Dominic is way to much of a goofball to be a judge....

Even more reason to watch. D-Trix will liven the whole show up even more. :D

Definately ^^ I have to say, I will miss Omarion though! D-trix is a clown and to see his view on things is gonna be very interesting. Season starts the 14th if I'm not mistaken?
