When American Idol's Randy Jackson announced that he was producing a competition for dance crews, instead of solo dancers like So You Think You Can Dance, I thought this was a great idea. On SYTYCD there were always these great street dancers who couldn't handle the discipline of ballroom but where great at what you could do. Well, apparently Randy had the right idea because Randy Jackson Presents: America's Best Dance Crew was a monster hit for MTV this past winter.So it was inevitably renewed, and we've just gotten the list of audition dates and cities. The rules are pretty simple. Be 18 years and up and be part of a crew of 5-7 members. Then be able to get to New York April 18th, Houston April 21st, LA April 29th or Chicago May 3rd. Or, if you kind of suck, plan to go to all four sites. Maybe I should dust off my old dancing shoes and see if I've still got it. For more information check out America's Best Dance Crew's website or Season 2's MySpace page.
If you want us to cover this show next season, give a shout out in the comments. And for your viewing pleasure, here's a sampling of Season One winners Jabbawokkeez. These guys were absolutely amazing choreographers and visionaries. Note in this compilation how each dance began at the exact point where the previous one ended. Brilliant!:

Thanks for the excellent season. Although it was hard to choose, you should let SQ win next time they compete.
They are bringing those crazy stunts, and they are representing African American Pride.

I liked the show a lot, it was fun to watch. Jabba was the best by far....It would be cool if you covered it next season.
