This week auditions for "Randy Jackson Present's America's Best Dance Crew Season 3" in Los Angeles features The Hype Crew of Hawaii. Will the Aloha spirit help them float to the top of the heap for a spot on the live show or will Long Beach, CA Street Vibe krump its way to one of the coveted 9 spots available on the live show.
Check out the moves from The Hype and their post interview
Street Vibe may just put the Krump style alive on Season 3, but they still have to make it past auditions. Here's what they have to say when I said "Some people say krumping is dead." I thought they were ready to stomp and krump me to death.
For those of you who are not familiar with krumping, rent the movie Rize.

America's Best Dance Crew getting ready for Season 3
In the last few weeks, Randy Jackson and crew have been searching high and low throughout the U.S. for the next group of dance crews to battle it for season three of the widely popular MTV series "Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew." I had the pleasure to check out the Los Angeles leg of the audition and will have posts with video interviews of auditioning crews, choreographer Napoleon D'Umo, judge Shane Sparks and the master of the show Randy Jackson.
Randy Jackson says, "Three Baby!" As in Season Three.
On in unusually warm Saturday in October at the Foresight Studios in Los Angeles, a grip of dance crews came a calling for their chance to vie for a spot on the MTV show, "Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew."
With the success of season two, more unique groups have come to play on the hallowed ABDC ground. From Krumpers to a crew from the Aloha State, potential ABDC crews took to pounding the pavement to illustrate their moves to sway the judges to pick them as a crew for the live tapings.
In this first post of the upcoming Season 3 show, I had the pleasure of speaking to choreographer Napoleon D'Umo about his duties as a scout in widdling down the candidates for the live show, how he got involved and what crews need to do to wow the judges.
Napoleon D'Umo works behind the cameras to help decide what crews will head to the live show of ABDC.
My interview with Napoleon D'Umo
Next ABDC post will be of Quest Dance crew who participated in the Los Angeles Audition.
Season 3 will premiere some time in January of 2009.
