From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Phresh Select is a dance crew of six guys who has a very positive and refreshing idea of dance. They came from two rival crews who battle all the time who decided to come together and "be united as one" for the love of dance. According to them, some rough times in the city of brotherly love had the youth in the wrong direction, and dancing, says a member, can do something to rectify it.
Phresh Select is one of the dance crews competing in Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew, featuring street dance crews in the country. Hosted by Mario Lopez, America's Best Dance Crew is produced by American Idol judge and record producer Randy Jackson. The show boasts of a panel of topnotch judges, including hip-hop choreographer and street dance authority Shane Sparks, superstar MC Lil Mama, and singer, song-writer, and record producer, JC Chasez of the disbanded boy group NSYNC.
Phresh Select landed a spot in the cast after impressing the judges in the New York audition. While they were told that their !@#!@iness will be their downfall, they were still sent to the live casting show. One of their members, Ryan, said he was trying to balance his career with being a father. During their performance, the judges praised them for their nice stunts, for being entertaining, and for feeling the vibe of the music. They also got points for having potential, but were told to inject more creativity into their routine as most of the things they presented already appeared on the first season.
