MTV's new weekly late-night music talk and performance show, "MTV's Hip-Hop POV," is set to debut at Midnight on Wednesday, April 11, following an encore of the "ABDC" season premiere at 11:00 p.m., making Wednesdays a destination for music on the channel.

The crews, in alphabetical order, are:

"Collizion Crew" Atlanta, Georgia Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, this dance crew formed after members were inspired by the movie "You Got Served." Their crew name and unity were cemented when all the members were involved in a near fatal car "collision." Thankfully everyone survived and, in addition to tearing up the dance floor, they devote their time to helping the youth in their community, with a goal to be strong role models for kids around the country. This group has Atlanta swag and refuses to stop until they make it to the top!

"Electrolytes" Gilbert, Arizona The "Elektrolytes" are desert boys from Gilbert, Arizona, and aren't strangers to the dance stage, as in 2011 they placed first in Hip Hop International's USA Hip Hop Dance Championship and ranked seventh in the world. They call themselves "Elektrolytes" because dance "fuels their body." These boys have already taken the title of Arizona's best dance crew and now they're ready to take America by storm.

"Fanny Pak" The San Fernando Valley, California The Pak is back! A fan favorite and stand-out crew from season two, "Fanny Pak" hails from the San Fernando Valley in California. Fanny Pak is the first crew in the series' history to compete for the prize once again. Since their last time on the "ABDC" stage, "Fanny Pak" has traveled the world, teaching and performing, and became the first dance crew to ever win an award at the MTV "Video Music Awards." They've added new members to their crew, and are now stronger, more confident and focused than ever before. Even with all their amazing accomplishments and achievements, their ultimate goal remains the same and that is to take the title of America's Best Dance Crew and they won't stop until they win!

"8 Flavahz" Honolulu, Hawaii "8 Flavahz" is a young dance crew (ages 10-17 years old) from both Honolulu, Hawaii, and Los Angeles, California. The group consists of twin sisters, honor-roll students and military brats, united through their diverse styles of dance including Tahitian, hula, hip-hop, jazz and others. Because of their different locations, the crew conducts their practices over the Internet via Skype. Their motto is to "honor and appreciate the diversity of all people through movement." They hope their unique vibe sets them apart from other crews, and blows the "ABDC" audience away.

"Funkdation" Monterrey, Mexico "Funkdation" comes from Monterrey, Mexico, and is a crew that incorporates salsa dancing with American style hip-hop dance. Inspired by old school poppers and lockers, they have mastered a blend of old school hip-hop with Latino flair. The phrase "we got da funk" best describes this crew that wants to prove to the world that the talent in Mexico is ready to win the "ABDC" title.

"Irratik" Montreal, Canada "Irratik" comes from Montreal, Canada, and are a group of young, powerful women who can shatter a dance floor. They've won the Canadian Hip Hop Dance Championship three times, placed second twice, and tied for the gold in 2009. With their fierce dance moves, gorgeous looks, and brilliant wits, they're sure to win over the "ABDC" judges and fans.

"Mix'd Elements" North Hollywood, California "Mix'd Elements" is a lovable dance crew from North Hollywood, California, who are distinguished by two things - their unique use of suspenders in their routines, and their ability to seamlessly flow, known as "flotivity," between different styles of street dancing. During the "ABDC" auditions, the crew had to rally together after one member suffered a death in the family proving that their bonds and friendships extend well beyond the dance floor. This crew placed second in Hip Hop International's 2011 USA Hip Hop Dance Championship, and continues to push their limits of creativity, and inspire people through their passion of dance.
