• 'America's Best Dance Crew' Will Return More Than 2 Years After Being Canceled by MTV

    Remember when prime time television was loaded with dance competitions? Some thought there was not enough room for "Dancing with the Stars," "So You Think You Can Dance" and also "America's Best Dance Crew," so the latter was canceled more than two years ago. Apparently, after giving the show a breather, MTV had second thoughts and has agreed to reboot Randy Jackson's show after that brief hiatus. "ABDC," as it is affectionately known, will be returning this summer according to a press release MTV put out yesterday, Jan. 10. "It's the best of the best as 'America's Best Dance Crew' returns this summer with six new episodes featuring dance crews from previous seasons of the hit competition series. Prepare for battles showcasing more amazing styles and innovative choreography as these crews keep the audience on the edge of their seats. Fresh talent and an all-new group of judges fill out what will be an electrifying season. "'ABDC' is executive produced by Randy Jackson, Rob Lee (Bayonne Entertainment) and Howard and Karen Schwartz (Hip Hop International). Brooke Karzen, Dan Sacks and Louise Wu are the executives overseeing the project for Warner Horizon Television ('The Bachelor,' 'The Bachelorette,' 'The Voice'). Lauren Dolgen, Kristina Edwards, Michelle Klepper and Hannah Uszak are the executives in charge for MTV, " says the official statement.

Some of the offerings on Soft Swells' new EP "Lifeboats" show how dynamic the band can be however.
