Quick report on the NY auditions

The New York auditions for America's Best Dance Crew Season 4 were intense! Crews performed from 11am until 11pm. The casting directors got what they wished for in quality and diversity, with 36 crews coming out to show their stuff. Casting judge Michelle McNulty called it the best NY audition that ABDC ever held.

We saw African-influence dancers, nationally ranked b-boy teams, Bollywood funk dancers, voguers, Beatyafeet-ers, ABDC alums, and MANY other types of hip hop choreography represented. And, after the regular auditions about half the crews were invites to participate in a choreography call-back which was one of the best dance events I've ever attended! Through it all, judges Michelle McNulty, Napoleon D'umo, and Howard Schwartz were funny, engaging, and constructive.

I promise I'll describe this better in the next few days. Today I want to start plowing my weekend videos and photos including 31 videos from World of Dance New York (another intense event this past weekend!) and 57 videos from the auditions, to make more sense of it all and get things ready to share.
