MIT Ridonkulous set to audition for MTV’s America's Best Dance Crew.

MIT Ridonkulous, a student-run dance group, was recently spotted in New York trying out for the fourth season of America's Best Dance Crew. These student dancers start with hip-hop…and then it gets complicated. Ridonk Style calls on the dancers' backgrounds in ballet, jazz, tap, break dancing, hip-hop, street/jazz funk, and bhangra. Founded in 2005, they perform on campus, at nearby universities, and host an annual spring event, Footwork, which brings diverse dance groups to campus. If you missed the performances and workshops, you can catch Footwork '09 on YouTube or check out the videos on the Ridonkulous Web site. Get down. uh.

YOUR AUDITION WAS MAKING ME GO CRAZY! Or ridonkulous, but holy cow... You guys should make it or I'm gonna die!
You reminded me of Jabba Wockeez with that animation in your movements and your creative movements reminded me of Fanny Pak! Wonderful audition, and again, I hope you make it!
