I can't believe they aren't showing it until Tuesday!!

OK, now I'm watching ABDC. One thing I really like about this show is that the songs and the challenges are picked for the crews -- none of this fake random bullshit like SYTYCD.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
OMG, my eyes are rolling SO HARD at the Jessie wake.

ABDC: I really like this show. I don't think the dancing overall is Jabbawockees level, but there are some nice things going on there. And that hula hoop routine was sick! Loved it.
I was a little disappointed in Rhythm City not embracing their challenge. I'm glad they were called on it. It may just be me coming off SYTYCD and being all about the different genres. But I think it's important to see and respect, even if you don't understand, the other forms of dance. Okay, fine, the Charleston is old and it is indeed cheezy. But you won't be the first to reinvent it, and you could do cool stuff with it. But they didn't.
Vogue Evolution was, again, fantastic. So much fun.

Vogue Evolution was terrific (Leomi was really rocking her hairflinging--very brave considering it's got to be a wig), but I did question their level of "African dance." Looked like they just had those arm circles and that was about it. But, most of the other crews also only paid slight attention to their challenges.
My favorite so far remains We Are Heroes; they were amazing with the strobing!!

I loved when JC said that the Kid'n'Play was basically the Charleston.

They didn't get any actual instruction, did they? It seems like they would have had to have gotten very lucky to any better -- if they had a crew member who was actually trained in the style.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, that is the element that's missing in this show. There's no instruction or guidance other than the videos, so I can see how things get lost.
But yeah, definitely lots of the crews only briefly did their challenges. I like to see them more integrated into the routines.

yes, but they made it cool when they hooked ankles and hopped in a circle. My bro and I used to go out and get hammered and do it with a little bit of prodding.
