MANILA, Philippines - Solar TV’s America’s Best Dance Crew (ABDC) is a reality show where dance crews from all over the US showcase their talent and compete for a $100,000 grand prize.
Each week, the crews are given a challenge. The challenge is different for each crew but has the same general concept. For example, one challenge included a school gym, and each crew had to incorporate beats with the props on stage (lockers, bleachers, jump ropes, etc.). Every week there is a performance/results show. Mario Lopez reveals which crews are in the bottom two. The two groups then do the performances they were planning on doing if they were safe and then the judges choose which crew was better and that crew stays while the other crew is eliminated.
Since season one, the winning crews also received the Golden B-Boy Trophy, a golden statue of a B-Boy doing a freeze, with the legs moving like a bobblehead. Another unique aspect of ABDC is the crew banner. The logo on a banner represents that crew, appearing on merchandise and the background for interviews, and it is also used as a transition effect.
