America’s Best Dance Crew Episode 507: The Disco Challenge

Posted on March 13, 2010 by

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

Here's my notes on America's Best Dance Crew episode 507.  This week was the disco challenge, which wasn't particularly challenging. Here's how they all did in my opinion :

  • Blueprint Cru: Killed it!  Great locking moves.  Nice synchonicity and incorporation of various dance styles.  These Canucks can bring it.
  • Saltare: Flaming ropes. Oh my.  Again, almost no dancing involved.
  • Poreotix: Great dynamics.  Breaking, locking, acrobatics. Perhaps the best performance from them that I've seen this season.
  • Hype 5-0: They got saved this week? Seriously? That said, this is their most impressive performance that I've seen from them. Great lines, dynamics and energy.
  • Heavy Impact: Nicely done.  Great statement about how bigger dancers can get down.
  • Static Noyze: Cool performance, but their weakest so far.  You could see the strain as they were a man down this week, and the pressure was on.
  • Jungle Boogie: Really fun routine, showing that they were embodying the aesthetic and the energy of the time. The lift was awkward but impressive.  

My favorites this week: Blueprint, Poreotix and Hype 5-0. One of my favorite crews was sent home this week, which makes me sad. But they had a great showing, and hopefully a great career ahead of them.
