Welcome to Something for Nothing

Challenge #1: World Dance Challenge

Using a video given to the crews as reference, the final two crews created a 2 minute routine that included different forms of world dance ranging from Latin Music, to the Caribbean, to Bollywood, to African Music.
Mas Que Nada by Sergio Mendes ft Black Eyed Peas

We Be Burnin’ by Sean Paul

The Anthem by Pitbull ft Lil Jon

Mundian To Bach Ke by Panjabi MC ft Twista

Challenge #2: Dance Craze Challenge 2.0

Instead of dancing to a dance craze, crews will create their own dance craze, both in the form of the actual music and the dance steps. All of this combined to create a dance routine.
Super Cr3w - “S To The Chest”
SoReal Cru - “Smash It Up”

Final Challenge: Your Last Word Challenge

Crews will created a routine that showed why they should be crowned “America’s Best Dance Crew”
Super Cr3w danced to the song Give It Up or Turn It Loose by James Brown

In my previous ABDC Music post, it looks like I missed a few other music items from that episode of ABDC. Here it is now:

Like the “Dance Craze Challenge” from Season 1, crews were given a physical challenge to complete during their routine.
Dance Crew Dance Physical Challenge
Super Cr3w The Humpty Dance Perform the move with only 4 feet on the floor
SoReal Cru Kid N’ Play Create a chain reaction during the routine
Fanny Pak Vanilla Ice Perform the move horizontally

Challenge #2: Dance Movie Challenge

Crews must create a routine that incorporates elements of an 80s dance movie. Similar to the “Broadway Challenge” from Season 1, crews were given remixed versions of the songs from their respective movies:
SoReal Cru danced to the song Electro Beats from the movie Breakin’

Super Cr3w danced to the song Footloose from the movie Footloose

Fanny Pak danced to the song Maniac from the movie Flashdance

Fanny Pak danced to the following songs:
Word Up by Cameo

A few people have been asking me who is going to be on the ABDC tour. We don’t know all the details (probably because they’re still figuring them out), but we do know that the winners of ABDC Season 1 — “JabbaWockeeZ” and BreakSk8 are both committed to the tour.

Tickets still aren’t on sale for a couple weeks, but here’s the link to ABDC on ticketmaster where most of the tickets should be found. If you miss them on ticketmaster you can check for ABDC tour tickets on eBay. eBay already has some interesting ABDC tour t-shirts.

Should be interesting to see what other crews get added to the tour.

Missy Elliott and choreographer Hi Hat helped the various crews learn some Missy Elliott music and dance moves on this episode of America’s Best Dance crew. Below you’ll find all the Missy Elliott music that they used for the show. You can also check out all the ABDC music from previous shows. Enjoy!

Today I found the first listing of the ticket prices for the ABDC tour. The Albany, NY stop has the ABDC tour ticket prices at US $36.50 - US $46.50. About what I thought it would be.

I also found that the Oct 1st Albany, NY tour stop at The Palace Theater will have their ABDC tour tickets for sale starting 8/15. Here’s a link to Buy Your Tickets for Albany, NY,

I’ll keep you updated on the ABDC tour as I find out about it.

America’s Best Dance Crew threw out a bunch of Janet Jackson music this week. Does this mean that below you’ll find the best Janet Jackson dance music? If you don’t like Janet Jackson music, then check out all the previous music from America’s Best Dance Crew.

I think it’s always made since to list all the music from ABDC since the show is on MTV after all. In a new twist I tried to list the original music video for each of the ABDC songs.

If you’re not interested in the music, you can read Rocky’s full recap of the ABDC Speed Up Challenge.
