So We Think We Can Dance

Episode 4 of this season of America's Best Dance Crew was on last night, and this week's episode was Bollywood-themed, with each troupe incorporating a form of Indian dance into their routine. Local crew Massive Monkees ended up with bhangra and knew that they would have to "put the b-boy into Bollywood." Since they got ragged on by the judges last week for only one member doing their most difficult move, the Monkees were eager to bring it on, step it up 2 the streets,  get served, etc.  In their performance (starting at 2:05 in the video above), they hit the ground running, with footwork of fury, tons of spins and crabwalks, and even the occasional crotchgrab.

So sez the judges: JC Chasez liked that in this routine the dancers were "constantly moving and working the floor." Shane Sparks said it was one of the "best performances they had done in a while," and that they took it to another level, with so much of the choreography being "so sick." Lil Mama agreed, saying they had "an energetic bounce from beginning to end." Once again, Massive Monkees weren't in the bottom two, so even after a lackluster performance last week, they've rebounded nicely, and they're back to being one of the judges' favorites.
