America's Best Dance Crew

America's Best Dance Crew is a reality show where dance crews from all over the U.S. showcase their talent and compete for a $100,000.00 (USD) grand prize. Each week, the crews are given a challenge. The challenge is different for each crew but has the same general concept. For example, one challenge included a set of a school gym, and each crew had to incorporate beats with the props on stage (lockers, bleachers, jump ropes, etc.). Every week there is a performance/results show. Mario Lopez reveals which crews are in the bottom two. These two then do the performances they were planning on doing if they were safe and then the judges choose which crew was better and that crew stays while the other crew is eliminated. Since the first season, the winning crews also received the Golden B-Boy Trophy, a golden statue of a B-Boy doing a freeze, with the legs moving like a bobblehead. Another unique aspect of ABDC is the crew banner. The logo on a banner represents that crew, appearing on merchandise and the background for interviews, and it is also used as a transition effect. When a crew is eliminated, its banner falls off the top of the stadium where the banners of the crews still in the running stand. They get to dance one last time on the stage as they "walk it out" to the song of the same name. If a crew is eliminated from the fifth place mark (sixth in seasons 1-4), it will have a compilation video showing its journey on the show.
