Today is the deadline for casting your votes for your favorite dance group on America's Best Dance Crew . If you watched the season 2 casting special last Saturday, you can support the group that blew you away before the polls close at 5pm on MTV's website. Then watch the second season premiere on Thursday, June 19 at 10pm ET/PT to find out if your favorite crew made the cut.

If you weren't able to catch the live casting special, you can watch some of the live audition videos posted on the network's website.  After looking across the country for the most talented dance crews, MTV and executive producer Randy Jackson (American Idol) have trimmed down the search to 14 hopefuls who will go to Los Angeles to prove that they have what it takes to grace the stage of America's Best Dance Crew.  From the 14 groups, they have chosen 10 groups to continue on the competition.

During the live auditions, the dance crews for season 2 have been narrowed down to Phresh Select, Sass Times 7, Boogie Bots, A.S.I.I.D., Xtreme Dance Force, So Real Cru, Distorted X, Super Cr3w, Fanny Pak and Supreme Soul.  You can read more about them in this recap article.

Each week, there will be a performance themed episode that will highlight the crews' innovative choreography as they step up to the challenge.  Just like the first season, these dance groups must try their best to impress the judges, consisting of rapper Lil Mama, former NSYNC singer JC Chasez, and hip-hop choreographer Shane Sparks, and the viewers because, in the end, only one will walk away as the winner of America's Best Dance Crew 2.

Host Mario Lopez and backstage correspondent Layla Kayleigh also return to MTV to critique each performance on the dance competition series.
