Southern Movement is one of nine crews that are part of the fourth season of MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew. Based in Nashville, TN, they fuse hip-hop moves and country line dancing—what they call “hick-hop”—in an attempt to change the way Americans see those from the South. From different parts of Tennessee, they met and formed while working for the Grand Ole Opry.
