"America's Best Dance Crew" Is Back!

We bid farewell to “America’s Best Dance Crew” back in 2012, when MTV canceled the show after just seven glorious seasons. But this Saturday, the network announced that “ABDC” will rise from the ashes for an eighth season this summer. Hip-hop #nerdz rejoice! After all, it’s the show that introduced us to the JabbaWockeeZ (and, […]

Beyoncé Is Everything

Every time Beyoncé walks out onto a stage, the universe lurches (or maybe that’s just me falling over, because I literally cannot handle her).

Saying Goodbye to "ABDC"

At Dance Spirit, we’re super sad that one of our favorite dance shows has been cancelled after seven seasons. “America’s Best Dance Crew” not only showed off amazing dancers of all ages, but it introduced the audience to the challenges of coming up with unique and interesting choreography week after week. To celebrate the awesome […]

MTV "Rocks the Vote" with tWitch and Kathryn

Doesn’t dancing make you want to…vote? Actually, after you watch MTV’s 2012 Rock the Vote video, it just might. In addition to stars like Miley Cyrus, Josh Duhamel and, uh, Vinny from the Jersey Shore, the video includes dancelebrites like tWitch and Kathryn McCormick, along with half the cast of “Glee,” hammering home the importance […]

Super Freaks

Now that reality show celebrities are practically a dime a dozen, their stars tend to dim once the proverbial 15 minutes of fame run out—but not those of the the L.A.-based Beat Freaks crew.
