America’s Best Dance Crew Episode 505: An Easy Challenge Let’s the Dancers Shine More

Posted on February 28, 2010 by

America's Best Dance Crew (Season 5) – MTV Shows

I liked "America's Best Dance Crew: Episode 5", which focused on giving each crew different music videos to emulate. The challenge was pretty much a softball that seemed designed to let each team stretch out and show their strengths to the judges and the audience.  Here's my notes from the episode:

  • Poreotix: Funny, dynamic, but just okay.  I expected more from this strong popping crew.
  • Jungle Boogie: A strong step-oriented routine.  Still liking these guys and hope they've got a lot more to offer.
  • Static Noyse: Silly and fun.  They have great lines and quality of movement.  I would totally pay to see their show.
  • Saltare: That was a hot mess, but a great effort.  I'm really getting tired of seeing them struggle with the actual dancing.
  • Heavy Impact: My favorite performance of the night. I love these guys for their groove and their joy. I'd love to see them go all the way.
  • Hype 5-0: I liked them more this episode than in the previous. Still not convinced that they've got much more in their bag of tricks to pull out.
  • Royal Flush: Well performed.  The swipe move was really hard and they pulled it off.
  • Bluprint Cru: A good performance, though not as strong as their previous one. I don't think of a headstand as a "hard move," but I guess it is for most people.
