Last night's Dance Craze Challenge kept all the crews on their toes - well, actually the mini-tramp kept all the crews in the air! You're in for a real treat this Sunday night when you see how creative all the crews got with their challenge(s), but for now, here are a few of this week's show-stoppin' moments:

- Massive Monkees take full advantage of a photo op with host Mario Lopez!
- The entire audience (including JC Chasez) get to be featured dancers!
- Lil Mama & Leiomy officially clear the air - Pheww!!
- Shane Sparks compliments one crew for not "watering down" their performance.
- A fire extinguisher goes off mid-routine! (See what we did there?)

So what else happens? Guess you'll have to watch this week's show to find out! Tune in this Sunday at 9pm to catch the rest of the high-flying ABDC action!

Lil Mama's already stepped up and said she was sorry for coming down so hard on Leiomy last week. But what'd Leiomy's crew think about Mama's verbal jabs? Turns out, they had their girl's back all the way (hey, they're a team, after all!). Earlier this week, Vogue Evolution had a little fun at Mama's expense while rallying behind Leiomy (and her amazing Death Glare). Viva la Evolution!

Lil Mama's never had a problem speaking her mind on the ABDC panel. But last week, she might've spoken a little too freely when she chewed out Vogue Evolution's Leoimy for her un-ladylike behavior at rehearsal. And since Mama's not out to hurt anyone's feelings, she's issued a sincere apology to Leiomy -- and to all the members of the LGBT community -- in a statement released to GLAAD yesterday:

"I would like to clarify anything that was misunderstood from Sunday's show," Lil Mama wrote. "My remarks were never meant to be disrespectful regarding Leiomy's gender nor offensive to the LGBT community, which has been a community that has supported me in all my endeavors. However, in hindsight, I recognize that my words may have come across as hurtful. I spoke with her privately after the taping to express that it was not my intent to offend her or any member of the transgender community and that I still live for Vogue Evolution."

Thanks for clearing the air, Lil Mama! Now let's put all this drama behind us and focus on what's really important: the dancing! Only five crews left vying for the ABDC title ... and this week, things are about to get craze-y ...

Vogue Evolution might've gone through a rough patch in rehearsals this week, but on stage, they were more in sync than ever. Which means they'll have at least one more week to show America their unusual style of underground dance. And while they're not completely ready to write off the judges, they told us they care more about what resonates with peeps at home than what the three-person panel has to say ... We caught up with Leiomy and her crew post-show and found out their new ABDC strategy. Viva la Vogue Revolution!

The good vibe between all the crews has left everyone (even Leiomy) feelin' nice and loose backstage. In fact, with so much intermingling, it's hard to tell who's dancing with who! Watch the hip-hop switch hitters warm up -- and see some mid-season trades go down. Wait, what sport is this again??

Over the winter, MTV's Real World: Brooklyn introduced Katelynn, a transgender woman, to its welcoming viewers. And now, ABDC would like you to meet Leiomy.

Leiomy is part of Vogue Evolution, a crew that prides itself on its four openly gay members and one transgender woman. While every transgender person's story is different, Leiomy explained to us that she was born a male but always identified as a female.

"At the age of seven, I knew something was different. I wasn't happy when I looked in the mirror," she said. "I started wearing dresses at 15 ... and by 18 I was taking hormone pills." Leiomy's family, including her four brothers, are fully accepting ... but it wasn't always that way. "My older brothers had issues with me at first and thought it was a phase," she told us. "But after some time, they came to accept who I was."

Now 22, Leiomy dates straight men who are interested in woman, not gay men like many people assume. She's been in a serious relationship with her boyfriend for the past seven months and is in the process of saving up the money to complete her transition.
