America's Best Dance Crew is an American television show featuring street dance crews from the United States. Season three premiered on January 15, 2009 on MTV in the United States. It is hosted by Mario Lopez and features Layla Kayleigh as the backstage correspondent. The judges are rapper Lil Mama, former *NSYNC singer JC Chasez, and hip-hop choreographer Shane Sparks. Chasez, one of the three judges, said "we'll be taking a bit more time between seasons, which will give people ample time to get their crews together, practice and prepare."[1]
Crews
Nine crews were selected in this season of America's Best Dance Crew, as opposed to last season's ten crews. The nine crews are not divided into the usual four regions—East, West, Midwest, and South—but each crew's banner still lists where each crew comes from.[2] It is also the first season that showcased a crew from the Caribbean, in place of any crews from the Midwest. This is also the first season where the episodes are previously taped before the showing, whereas in the other seasons the shows were recorded live.
Team Millennia, who were eliminated during the Season 2 Casting Special against Fanny Pak, returned this season as one of the nine official dance crews.[3]
This season also has a heavy cross-over from So You Think You Can Dance. Quest Crew's Ryan was a season 1 finalist, Hok and D-Trix (Dominic) were season 3 finalists. Also, clogger Brandon Norris of Dynamic Edition was heavily featured during the season 3 try-outs of SYTYCD and performed at the season finale. Judge Shane Sparks has also judged and choreographed for numerous seasons of SYTYCD. Also included are the Beat Freaks which consist of a group with many professional dancers namely Rino Nakasone, formerly of the Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Girls.
