Reality Rumors

MTV has announced Randy Jackson Presents: America’s Best Dance Crew’s second season will premiere Thursday, June 19 at 10PM ET/PT.

Randy Jackson Presents: America’s Best Dance Crew’s second season will follow a similar format to the show’s first installment, which aired earlier this year and was won by San Diego-based crew JabbaWockeeZ.

The show will begin with 10 dance teams consisting of five to seven members and during each episode, the teams will rehearse themed choreography for that week’s showdown before competing against one another.

Each crew’s performance will be critiqued by Randy Jackson Presents: America’s Best Dance Crew’s judging panel — former N Sync member JC Chasez, So You Think You Can Dance choreographer Shane Sparks and rapper Lil Mama.

Immediately following each episode broadcast, home viewers will be able to vote for their favorite crew via text messaging, the Internet or by phone. The two teams that receive the lowest number of viewer votes will then battle head-to-head for the judges and the chance to advance to the next round.

One team will be eliminated each week, and the crew left standing at the end will be crowned “the nation’s best dance crew” and be awarded $100,000.

MTV renewed Randy Jackson Presents: America’s Best Dance Crew for a second season in March. The show is executive produced by Jackson, Rob Lee, Howard Schwartz and Karen Schwartz, Harriet Sternberg and Joel Gallen and Abe Hoch.
