The fifth season of America's Best Dance Crew lets viewers in before the national competition starts, profiling fifteen crews from three different regions of the U.S. - the south, east, and west. The season's first episode makes way for the five southern crews that are competing for three spots in the national competition. "Jungle Boogie", "Ghost", "X-treme Motion", "Swagger Crew", and "Royal Flush" showcase their unique styles in an attempt to be one of the judges' two favorite crews. The remaining three must battle each other "sudden death" style for the remaining slot, and the bottom two of these crews must go home.moreless
