More Favorite crews from ABDC 3 LA Auditions: JPD

Field reporters Brooke and Rebecca covered the Los Angeles auditions for America's Best Dance Crew Season 3. They reported back on some of their favorite crews from the day. Here's our disclaimer (get used to it, you'll see it a lot): They watched about 4 hours of auditions, so they didn't get a chance to see all of the crews. In addition, they (and BABDC) have no inside information or control over judges' opinions.

The crew de jour: JPD (Just Plain Dance)
. They are nowhere near traditional B-boy. But, they have creative moves and technical expertise. If ABDC is looking for some 'different' talent, they might just tap JPD for the show. But -- could they win, given the fan base's love for B-boy groups?
  • Just Plain Dance is the name of their dance studio
  • Members: Ashley, Devin, Melissa, Ania, Mike. All are 18 years old
  • Performed as a group for three years
  • Dance Styles: contemporary, 'contemp-pop', lyrical, jazz
  • Favorite ABDC Crews: Fanny Pak, Kaba Modern
  • What's special about them: big use of props. In the past, they've used pirate ships, a five-foot helium balloon, a glass box, a mattress, and a door. In their auditions, they used an electric plug and a cord attached to a cell phone
  • What they'd do with $100,000: pay for college
