The current underdog or suprise crew of the season has to be Fanny Pak. It looks as if they may be able to just survive the next few rounds of eliminations. This crew's unique style include their strength with their unique interpretations of the songs they choose. Their style consists more of dance, artistry and less hip-hop, b-boy and breakdancing moves. As for the major favorites of this season's show include SuperCr3w of Las Vegas and SoReal of Houston, TX looks like they may be battling each other at the very end but things can change week to week. An interesting element of the majority of the crews is that there is at least one crew member that is of Asian descent. After interviewing the crews during last Tuesday's taping of the show for tonight's airing, I was able to gauge the group's pride in who they are and where they come from. One interesting fact from Lor "Blao" Song of Phresh Select hailing from the city of brotherly love (Philadelphia), he's proud that his participation in the show is breaking down stereotypes of Asian just being computer geeks, nurses or accountants. Without realizing it, "Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew" has become a subconscious soapbox for Asian American Pride. I will be covering the rest of the upcoming episodes and will post my behind the scene experiences of the show. Maybe I'll get the groups to do an "Over The Shoulder" pose All photos are copyright of Pacific Rim Photo Press - ©Sthanlee B. Mirador/Pacific Rim Photo Press.
