America's Best Dance Crew, often abbreviated as ABDC, is an American competitive dance reality television series featuring both national and international dance crews. The show was produced by singer, record producer, and former American Idol judge Randy Jackson.[1] The series premiered on February 7, 2008, on MTV. It was originally developed for NBC as World Moves.[2]
The show was hosted by actor Mario Lopez and featured television personality Layla Kayleigh as the backstage correspondent. The judging panel consisted of hip hop recording artist Lil Mama, singer-songwriter JC Chasez, and dancer Dominic "D-Trix" Sandoval.[3] Former judges included hip hop choreographer Shane Sparks and R&B singer Omarion.[4][5][6]
After an initial seventh season run, America's Best Dance Crew was cancelled in 2012 due to declining ratings.[7] However, on January 10, 2015, MTV announced that the series would be revived for an eighth season.[8]
The eighth season, titled America's Best Dance Crew All-Stars: Road to the VMAs, premiered on July 29, 2015.[8] Hosted by Jason Dundas, the revival featured a new judging panel: hip hop artist T-Pain, recording artist Teyana Taylor, and Broadway performer Frankie Grande.[9]
