ABDC (FW)

MTV has been known for having some of the most questionable shows ever. From 16 and Pregnant, to Teen Mom, and of course Jersey Shore, it is a huge wave of reality TV shows that make us say after its over "what did I just watch?" I've never really been that interested in MTV, as I'm not really interested in reality shows. However, there was one show that caught my attention last year, and it has held my attention since. I'm talking about America's Best Dance Crew.

I know some of you might be thinking "really, a dance competition show. Isn't there a hundred others?" While there may be a bunch of different dance shows, this one is completely different. These crews all dance to some form of hip hop and are given very unique challenges each week, with everyone trying to win the 100,000 cash prize and be crowned "America's Best Dance Crew."

 

There are so many reasons why I like this show so much. One of them is the amazing music. The songs are cut and shortened into one minute "Master Mixes" with amazing beats that make you want to dance. I also found that the theme for each week was very creative, and the challenges were completely unique and difficult at times, making people wonder how they were going to pull them off on stage. However, the main reason that I like this show are the insane performances pulled off by the crews. You think that it would just be perfect choreography with some tricks, but the stunts and performances they pull off would put every single Mock Rock we have done to shame. That's something considering the most they get to dance is between 1 and 2 minutes.

 

Unfortunately, I got into ABDC right when MTV cancelled it, so that's a little bit of a let down. However, the I was still able to watch all seven of the seasons online and every performance blew me away. One crew in particular captured my attention each week with their high flying stunts and mind-blowing tricks; Season 3 Winners Quest Crew. Their Last Chance Challenge performance to hook the voters left me only saying "Wow." If people don't understand why I admire them so much, watch the video below, it'll make everything clear. (I apologize for the crappy quality).

                                     

While I'm disappointed that its gone, I'm glad that it was here and that it was able to supply me with great music and amazing dancing.
