Rhythm City is one of nine crews that are part of the fourth season of MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew. Based in the Bronx, the crew’s seven members had to fend for themselves when they were young—and turned to dance to deal with them. Bringing the original style of the Bronx with them, they have won numerous competitions, and claim that no other crew can do what they have done. They also give back to a community, starting non-profit Rhythm City, which helps kids off the streets and on to dance.
