'Bout time some ladies took the crown, eh? We got to speak with the winning crew after tonight's live finale, and their mood was nothing short of ecstatic. Check out We Are Heroes' response to beating AfroBorike -- and seven other talented crews -- for the coveted title of 'America's Best Dance Crew'!
As everyone knows, only one crew can win the competition -- and it just wasn't AfroBorike's moment. Hear their bittersweet goodbye and watch as Randy Jackson himself gives these talented dancers a proper send off.
We brought in the big gun for our last guest blogger of the season: Super Cr3w's Murda, who wasted no time digging deep into the final two crews. Watch as Mike gets to the bottom of whether AfroBorike's Elisabet Riero's ass is the real deal...
Plus, don't forget to check back here all day tomorrow for live video updates before, during and after the ABDC finale!
During a little down time from filming rehearsals this morning, we snooped around backstage and found some artist drawings of the costumes each crew will rock during their group numbers. Check 'em all out, then tell us whose gear looks the hottest!
AfroBorike and We Are Heroes have been tirelessly rehearsing their final routines, but that doesn't mean the returning crews can't squeeze in a little social time! Check 'em all out, kickin' back at the hotel and goofing around like they never even left...
All the Season Four crews trickled back into Cali this week to reconnect with each other and rehearse a special number for ABDC's live finale. The excitement revved up immediately after finding out that they'd be split into three different groups for a Judges Choice performance. Check out the lineup:
Shane Sparks' group - Beat Ya Feet Kings, Massive Monkees, Southern Movement
"I Do (Represent)" Lil Jon ft. Swizz Beatz & Snoop Dogg
Lil Mama's group - Artistry In Motion, Vogue Evolution, We Are Heroes
"Girls On The Dance Floor" Far East Movement
JC Chasez's group - AfroBorike, Fr3sh, Rhythm City
"Fire Burning" Sean Kingston
Last week we showed you ABDC's final dance cypher of the season -- or so we thought. The number of dancers has dwindled, but at the end of Sunday night's show, the remaining two crews still did their thang on stage. And so did Lil Mama ... (Hey, at least she's got a sense of humor about that whole VMAs thing!)
Yesterday, all the kids who take the free (or low-cost) weekly classes at Culture Shock LA dance studio got a one-of-a-kind treat when Shane Sparks introduced ABDC's AfroBorike and We Are Heroes to the budding hip-hoppers. Each of the final two crews spent some quality ime with the up-and-coming dancers and even taught them a little sumpin' sumpin' to use on the dance floor!
Culture Shock LA is a non-profit hip-hop dance troupe that works to educate dancers, students and audiences about the rich history of hip-hop, as well as its cultural relevance and relation to other art forms. Founded in 1993, Culture Shock has grown from its home in San Diego to cities that reach all across the U.S. and Canada.
If you were to jump in a time-travelin' DeLorean with Michael J. Fox and travel back seven weeks ago, you'd see NOBODY was predicting these crews to meet in the final two. Yep, against all odds, we've got two top underdog crews going head-to-head in the ABDC finale, and we can't wait to find out how this Cinderella story ends.
Of course, it goes without saying that it's still anyone's game. Both We Are Heroes and AfroBorike ripped up the stage last night, and (literally!) set it on fire with their Last Chance performances.
But while both crews brought down the house last night, we wanna know which one had you cheering all season long. Are you Team Heroes or all about the Afros? Tell us who you think should rock the vote and why.
After last night's drama-packed show finally came to an end, the two remaining crews filed off the stage into the garage and breathed a collective sigh of relief. It's official: AfroBorike and We Are Heroes have done all they can do -- and now it's in America's hands to decide who's crowned the winners of Season 4's ABDC.
We sent our favorite Frenchie, Maryss From Paris, in to interview the top two crews post-show and find out what they're thinking going into the finals. Hear what the Heroes had to say about their Last Chance performance plus catch up with a sweaty (but satisfied) AfroBorike.
We pulled out the big guns when we brought former Beat Freak (and Week 7 veteran) Maryss from Paris back to give us a one-of-a-kind backstage tour. Watch as Maryss chats up the final three crews on the eve of battle, and hear what used to get the heart of this freak beating fast back in her Dance Crew days ...
