Yes, it's a show that focuses on hip hop dance. Dance crews compete for a $100K prize. Shane Sparks is one of the judges. Hok, Dominic, and Ryan from SYTYCD competed last season with their crew, QUEST, and they won.Quote:

I liked Hok during his season. I thought that he did a great job in "The Chairman's Waltz".Quote:

^ hmmmm that name doesn't ring a bell but I think there's a P in his name.... He's the guy wearing these crazy outfits, they look like rags...
^ It's Kupono
In other news, I just saw the cast list for DWTS9, and I was quite underwhelmed. Yes, I know I watch too many dance shows :)
I can tell, you know all their names... I bet you know their shoe sizes too :DQuote:

^ Yes, Season 6 will be airing in the fall. Evan's brother Ryan auditioned, but I'm not sure if he made Top 20. I wanted Alex Wong to audition again, but he is still under contract with Miami City Ballet, so we probably won't be seeing him for at least a few years.
If you liked Kupono, you should definitely check out some of Mark's dances. The smirk that Kupono gave at the end of "Addiction" was very reminiscent of Mark.
I just read that Kelly Osbourne has been paired with Louis Van Amstel on DWTS. Louis is my favourite pro dancer, so I don't know if this is a good match-up.
This is the show for hip hop? When is it starting?
^ DWTS is the show for ballroom dancing.
America's Best Dance Crew (the hip hop dance show) is already airing on MTV. I think it airs on Sunday in the US.
^ ahhh no wonder I didn't know, I don't have cable :(
^ Maybe you can watch it on the MTV website.
^ that's a good idea
^ You can also find some of the dances on YouTube. Here is a compilation of QUEST's (Hok's crew) performances.
The Top 20 for SYTYCD:CA has just been revealed, and it seems diverse in terms of dance styles. I hope that this results in good ballroom/Latin and hip hop dancing.
The performances on ABDC last night were really weak; if the Beat Freaks competed this season, they would totally win.
Hok formed a troupe called Quest? You mentioned Quest before, just didn't sink in. Funny how they stick together, Travis and Ivan hanged together, don't know if they still do.
I faved tons of Neil's videos on youtube. Fox keeps taking them down though :(
I didn't see any of the two. Whats ABDC
^ ABDC is America's Best Dance Crew :)
:idea: oh ok
Was Neil your favourite in S3?Quote:

yes! my all-time favorite :)Quote:

^ so now I wanted to watch it again and guess what, they took the vid down!!! AHHH
Haunted, have you seen this promotion video for SYTYCD6? It features Evan's brother, Ryan. It shows his audition piece - he recites poetry while tap dancing.
is anyone else finding google acting funny?
dunno dont think so!
He looks much more interesting than his brother. Evan bored me to death! starts 9/9? that's just 2 weeks from now!Quote:
