MTV's America's Best Dance Crew Season 5: The Disco Challenge

by Joe Gravina

MTV's America's Best Dance Crew brings the nation "The Disco Challenge".  This week, each crew is assigned a 70's hit song and a dance craze.  Not only are they expected to master the moves of that era, but they are also challenged to keep their routine modern and creative.  Amidst all the polyester, sequence, and memorable moves and songs, there was still a feeling of reluctancy and anxiety because this week, for the first time in ABDC history, 2 crews are getting sent home.

Despite the inevitable double elimination lingering in the air, all 7 crews performed their best with their songs.

• BLUEPRINT CRU:  Chic-"Le Freak"
• STATIC NOYZE:  Walter Murphy-"A Fifth of Beethoven"
• HEAVY IMPACT:  Bee Gees-"You Should Be Dancing"
• SALTARE:  The Trammps-"Disco Inferno"
• JUNGLE BOOGIE: Kool and the Gang-"Jungle Boogie"
• HYPE 5-0: Peaches and Herbs-"Shake Your Groove Thang"
• POREOTIX:  Jackson 5-"Dancing Machine"
