Most Diverse Crew Roster in Series\u2019 History Includes First Openly Gay \u201cVoguing\u201d Crew to Compete on the \u201cABDC\u201d Stage Beginning Sunday, August 9, at 9\/8 c
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coming off of the most physically demanding season in the show\u2019s history, the stakes will be higher than ever for nine all-new crews as their challenges go global. Each crew will be forced to step outside their choreography comfort zones to infuse their urban sensibilities with some of the world\u2019s most popular dance styles.<\/strong> With previous appearances and performances by artists such as Missy Elliott and Flo Rida and full episodes themed to the videos of music\u2019s hottest stars like, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson and Britney Spears, season four is sure to deliver more of the incredible choreography and performances that keep a national audience on the edge of their seats. <\/p>\n

The season four crews of \u201cRandy Jackson Presents America\u2019s Best Dance Crew\u201d are:
\n<\/strong>
\n
\nAFROBORIKE (Las Vegas, NV)<\/strong> \u2013 Comprised of fiery Puerto Ricans and Cubans, Afroborike is a hot Salsa crew ready to bring their own brand of raw and sexy Latin dancing to America. These dancers are hungry to experience the \u201cAmerican dream\u201d and long to have the freedom of movement they have seen in American music videos. Here’s Afroborike:<\/p>\n

ARTISTRY IN MOTION (North Hollywood, CA) <\/strong>\u2013 An all-female crew trying to break the stereotype of \u201cbootyshakers,\u201d they are strong-minded women who bring their own contemporary and original style called \u201ccontemp-hop.\u201d Proud feminists, this all-girl group knows their energy, force and sex appeal make them more than capable to take on and dominate any all-male crew in their way. <\/p>\n

BEAT YA FEET KINGS (Washington, D.C.) <\/strong>\u2013 This D.C. crew will take the stage with their very own dance style called \u201cBeatin\u2019 Ya Feet.\u201d Their performances consist of a unique mix of footwork that could make them unstoppable. Although their style is currently only known around the D.C. area, the Kings believe they have created something the rest of the world should see and catch up to. Featured on \u201cIt\u2019s Showtime at the Apollo\u201d and an MTV inauguration special, they are slowly making their way into the public eye. Combined with their fresh style, this crew also exudes humility and, when they need it most, a hard energy that could make them champions.<\/p>\n

FR3SH (Matawan, NJ) <\/strong>\u2013 With a unique blend of jazz and funk, Fr3sh infuses a sense of humor into their choreography and compare themselves to the movie \u201cThe Breakfast Club,\u201d priding themselves on being rowdy and rebellious. Their mix of sarcasm, humor, cockiness and raw talent could take them all the way to the top. <\/p>\n

WE ARE HEROES (Los Angeles, CA)<\/strong> \u2013 This group of effervescent young women came together from New York, Idaho and as far as Japan to fulfill their dreams of dancing in Hollywood. Growing up in all corners of the globe, they were inspired by everything from Fred Astaire to Michael Jackson and have honed their dancing into something they call \u201cGlam Style,\u201d which they hope is good enough to crown them the first girl crew to win \u201cABDC.\u201d<\/p>\n

MASSIVE MONKEES (Seattle, WA) <\/strong>\u2013 This Seattle crew have grinded their way through national and international competition at the highest level over the past five years. They have won a number of prestigious titles including B-boy Summit 2000 and the World B-boy Championships at Wembley Arena in London, England. The Monkees are actively involved in their community, working at local centers with children, coaching child sports and teaching b-boy classes. They even have their own holiday, as April 26th was dubbed Seattle\u2019s official Massive Monkees Day in 2004. With this much talent and personality, they could be next in the line of b-boy crews to walk away with the $100,000 prize. <\/p>\n

RHYTHM CITY (Bronx, NY)<\/strong> \u2013 Struggling on the streets of the Bronx with little to no familial support gave Rhythm City no other option than to stick together, and they intend to use their original style from the Bronx \u2013 \u201cthe birthplace of hip-hop\u201d \u2013 as a secret weapon. The crew has placed highly in an array of dance competitions including Invasion, Blazin\u2019 the Stage, The Main Event, Switzerland\u2019s Dance 2 Dance and, most recently, they won first place at Culture Shock EDC. From living in foster homes to surviving abuse, exposure to life on the streets has taken its toll on each member. As a result, crew leader Alonzo Williams created Rhythm City, a nonprofit organization dedicated to getting kids off the streets and involved in dance.<\/p>\n

SOUTHERN MOVEMENT (Nashville, TN)<\/strong> \u2013 Urban cowboys that hail from the country music capitol of the world, this crew fuses hard-hitting hip-hop choreography with country line dancing. They pride themselves on being able to hang in the club one night and a country bar the next. Referring to their style as \u201cHick-Hop,\u201d this crew plans to bring something unexpected and their main goal is to change the way America views the South and its residents.<\/p>\n

VOGUE EVOLUTION (New York, NY)<\/strong> \u2013 The first openly gay crew to ever compete on the \u201cABDC\u201d stage, the five members of Vogue Evolution are out, proud and determined to live their lives the way they want to. Their distinctive \u201cvogue\u201d style of dance mixed with hip hop makes this crew unique, along with working to educate others on AIDS\/HIV awareness. They hope to touch everyone watching with their outspoken flare. <\/p>\n
