ABDC 4 - SEASON FINALE
Sunday, September 27th
9:00 PM ET/PT, 8:00 PM CT
If you were to jump in a time-travelin' DeLorean with Michael J. Fox and travel back seven weeks ago, you'd see NOBODY was predicting these crews to meet in the final two. Yep, against all odds, we've got two top underdog crews going head-to-head in the ABDC finale, and we can't wait to find out how this Cinderella story ends.
Of course, it goes without saying that it's still anyone's game. Both We Are Heroes and AfroBorike ripped up the stage last night, and (literally!) set it on fire with their Last Chance performances.
After last night's drama-packed show finally came to an end, the two remaining crews filed off the stage into the garage and breathed a collective sigh of relief. It's official: AfroBorike and We Are Heroes have done all they can do -- and now it's in America's hands to decide who's crowned the winners of Season 4's ABDC.
And as it was pointed out Season 4's America's Best Dance Crew will have at least 3 female members.

DANCE CRAZE CHALLENGE
ABDC stage change: the human springboard.
Yep, for one week only, the Dance Crew stage will be outfitted with a giant trampoline for all the crews to use as they please! Layla Kayleigh broke the news to the final five squads at the Los Angeles School of Gymnastics, so they could start practicing their high-jumps.
For their challenge this week, the crews will be incorporating the latest dance crazes (think updated Cabbage Patch) into their routines. And in addition to mastering their moves -- and giving 'em their own perosnal spin -- they'll also need to incorporate that big ol' trampoline ... without falling flat on their faces. Take a look at the songs and challenges assigned to each ABDCrew.
AFROBORIKE - "Swag Surfin" Fast Life Yungstaz
MASSIVE MONKEES - "Do The Ricky Bobby" B-Hamp
RHYTHM CITY - "You're A Jerk" New Boys
WE ARE HEROES - "Stanky Legg" GS Boys
