Another popular show in the dance world is America's Best Dance Crew. They just recently wrapped up their 5th season with audience favorite Poreotix taking home the win. For those who don't know who or what America's Best Dance Crew is needs to get up from under that rock. Randy Jackson Presents America’s Best Dance Crew is the first televised competition for full hip-hop crews, rather than individual performers. Mario Lopez hosts, alongside a panel of judges which include J.C. Chasez from boy band *NSYNC, all star choreographer Shane Sparks, and hip-pop artist Lil Mama. In the end, only one crew becomes the best of the best on the dance floor and wins a cash prize and touring contract.

These are the two main dance shows out there today that showcases what America's dance talent has to offer. These individuals and at times groups/crews have honed their talents and craft for many years. The process to be on these shows like any reality show involves the audition process. Auditions are held all over the United States only the best can make the cut.

Some may ask what type of people enjoy dance, and more importantly this genre of dance. In the next entry I will take a look at the different demographics that answers that very question
