The fifth season of America's Best Dance Crew premiered on January 28, 2010. Similar to the live casting specials featured in the first two seasons, the first three episodes consisted of separate regional auditions before proceeding to the official national-level competition. Shane Sparks did not return as a judge this season, due to his arrest, and was replaced by Omarion. In the live finale, which aired on April 8, 2010, Poreotix was declared the winner.
For the fifth season of America's Best Dance Crew, auditions were held in six cities: Atlanta, Houston, Denver, Los Angeles, Boston, and New York City. Fifteen dance crews were selected and then categorized into three regions: South, East Coast, and West Coast. Following the regional competitions, the initial pool of dance crews was narrowed down to nine.
^Note 1 : No crews were eliminated due to technical errors in voting.
^Note 2 : Blueprint Cru received immunity from the double-elimination for having the judges' favorite performance during the previous episode.
The five top dance crews from the South, selected by Lil Mama, JC Chasez, and guest judge Hokuto "Hok" Konishi from Quest Crew, competed to represent their region in the Season 5 opener. After the Bottom 3 was chosen, each crew had to face off in a dance battle to "Outta Control" by Baby Bash featuring Pitbull.
The five top dance crews from the East Coast, selected by Lil Mama and guest judge Kevin "KB" Brewer from the JabbaWockeeZ, auditioned for a chance to move on in the competition. After the Bottom 3 was chosen, the crews participated in a dance battle to "Hip Hop Is Dead" by Nas featuring will.i.am.
