Maryss & Rino of Beat Freaks - Michael Jackson Dance Class Tribute

Maryss and Rino of The Beat Freaks create a Dance Tribute to Michael Jackson.
By Peter Gonzaga

Last Thursday, July 2, 2009, Maryss and Rino of The Beat Freaks debuted their dance Tribute to Michael Jackson. Every Thursday, the twosome teach dance at the Debbie Reynolds Studios in North Hollywood, CA.

As avid fans of Michael Jackson, Maryss and Rino decided to create a dance routine in honor of the gloved one. Their inspiration to dance came from Michael and his creativity. Here are few video clips from what Pacific Rim Video covered last Thursday.







Maryss and Rino were also picked as back up dancers for Michael Jackson's London leg of his tour.

The twosome are also known for being part of The Beat Freaks and competed on MTV's "Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew - Season 3." Season 4 of the show will start back up on MTV this coming August 9, 2009.

Fly Khicks past Ringmasters on ABDC Season 3 Episode 4

Last night, the all girl dance crew, Fly Khicks, booted off the Brooklyn based Ringmasters on MTV's "Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew."

After being in the bottom two last week against Team Millennia, The Ringmasters were in the bottom two again with the Miami based Fly Khicks. Apparently, the Brooklyn crew could not flex their muscles enough to go another round on ABDC. Even with the support of Lil Mama, the Ringmasters couldn't get past The Fly Khicks.

In an upset last week against, Team Millennia with many TM supporters on the audience. The viewing audience and possibly Team Millennia must of banded together to vote for other crews which possibly landed The Ringmasters in the bottom two this week.

However, in this week's challenge, "Whack Tracks," the flexing crew received more accolades from the judges than they ever had. The flexers had to take the Macarena and add in their own flavor. As per JC Chasez mentioning that the crew took a song from two sixty year old men and brought their swag to the track.

For Fly Khicks, they took on a C&C Music Factory song and danced their hearts out. I guess that's why they are called Fly Khicks. I wouldn't doubt to see Fly Khicks in the bottom two next week.


Quest is setting their sights on the top of the ABDC peak!

As for the fan favorites of Quest, Beat Freaks and Strikers All Stars, the threesome were able to deliver the power punch that they have become known for. From Quest doing the pendulum made famous by New Kids On the block, to the Beat Freaks taking on the white boy moves, these crew met their challenge.

Striker All Stars striking it up!

The entertaining Dynamic Edition was dealt the Achy Breaky Heart. Clogging their was to the America's heart with their hip hop inflected routine, even Shane Sparks loved their moves.



I guess America is not ready for the flexing scene and The Ringmasters ride to the top of America's Best Dance Crew.


Here are few backstage interviews from this week's show.

Introducing the 9 dance crews for America's Best Dance Crew Season 3

Introducing the new crews for MTV's "Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew - Season 3." After some quick video editing, I finally have some video clips of all the 9 crews competing for America's Best Dance Crew of Season 3.

With some help from my new video hosts Ellen Kim and Kyle Hanagami of dance crew The Lost Kids, I had them working crazy on making sure to get some video interviews of all the Crews from the Show.

As I mentioned before, this season will definitely be about entertainment and not just dance. Get ready for the new Season and new dance crew stars as MTV launches the show this coming Thursday.

Here are the video clips below of each crew with a quick one or two line description of the crew.

The Ringmasters from Brooklyn - Flex dancing is their style. You definitely have to be double jointed. Imagine Cirque De Soleil on the streets or as I coined the name "Cirque de Soul Hey!!!"



The Strikers All Stars from Tallahassee Florida - Steppin is their style! Get ready to hear the stomp, hoot and hollas.



Fly Khicks from Miami - Hot girls with bootylicious moves. Don't count these women out as they will put their hearts along with their bodies on the line to make it to the top.



Beat Freaks of Los Angeles - On the other end of the spectrum, Beat Freaks are an all girl group that can run with the best b-boys in the world. Their b-girl moves may set the tone for Thursday night's premiere edition of ABDC Season 3



Dynamic Edition from Springville, Alabama - A surprise to the season is this cloggin group. Don't count them out because they may take the show to another level.



GOP from San Juan, PR - Boricua, Moreno. These street boys gives the hip hop flavor some Latin Soul. Can their Latin heat take them to the top. You'll have to wait this coming Thursday.



The Box Cuttuhz from San Diego, CA - The music they use will decide their style. Let's see if America decides that their style is number 1.



Quest Dance Crew from Los Angeles - These boys are pretty b-boys. Don't let the hair and pretty boy looks fool you as they make their mark on the ABDC stage.



Team Millennia from Fullerton, CA - Their rage is their power as they cut the stage with their rock edge inspired hip hop choreography. They take their grit to show the rest of the crews that they are here to fight for their banner.



There you have. The crews of Season 3's "Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew."

Check out the premiere airing on MTV this coming Thursday, January 15, 2009. Check your tv listings for times and re-run dates!
