————————-Previous (probably Duplicate)Music Findings———————————–
I previously posted the music I could find from the premier of Superstars of Dance music. I’ll be trying to post all the music from Superstars of Dance, but it’s been pretty difficult to figure out the songs. There’s such a unique set of interesting music on the show. Probably due to the diversity of countries.
Here’s where I’ll add all the music from the second episode of Superstars of Dance:
Indian group danced a Bollywood to the song “Nagada Nagada” sung by Javed Ali & Sonu Nigam from the Indian movie Jab We Met
![]()
US Hip Hop Group (US Group) danced to the song “Don’t Touch Me (Throw Da Water On ‘Em)” by Busta Rhymes

America’s Best Dance Crew: ‘Rock the Title Challenge’
Written by: RockyThis was a fun week for ABDC. Eight dance crews had to visually transform to reflect their assigned song title. All in all, the crews executed their challenges with imagination, ending on a creative note.
Roll, rolling, human rolls,
A.S.I.I.D hits the stage to meet their challenge goals.
Shane was inspired but Lil mama, not so much,
J.C. liked it but felt it needed a cleaner touch.
SoReal charmed their way into our imaginations,
showing off their sneaky snake innovations.
We had a snake tut, a backwards snake moonwalk,
two gorillas making love in a jungle – no need for talk.
It’s Clark Kent, its Superman, no…. it’s Super Cr3w! Flying high.
With jumps, leaps and air flares our boys took to the sky.
The ending, OMG, that said it all judge Shane,
Super Cr3w had turned into a human airplane.
With a shoyuken uppercut from Sega’s street fighter,
Boogie Bots touched the childhood gamer.
Crazy, hot, lights out! Watch out!
Five dancers became one transformer, that’s what I’m talkin bout.
Visually stunning, soldiers from a toy store
Fanny Pak gave us something to explore
Shane said this is the crew to watch
Does this team have a chance to become topnotch?
Supreme Soul took us to a hotel
Used the stage and props very well
With precision, the crew rippled grabbing a bag
Up and down the elevator, showing their swag
Phresh Select and Xtreme Dance Force landed in the bottom two
Phresh Select had a poppin performance
Simple choreography and interesting stunts
With high energy, XDF made the stage shake
Organized chaos reflecting a quake
After the judges gave their critique
They had to decide which crew was weak
Though they gave it a really good try
Xtreme Dance Force, time to say goodbye
