Are they threatening me?

Sounds like a threat, right?

Are you threatening me?

Come on, man.

This is your coach. What Coach says, you do.

End of story.

Coach?

All right, everybody

line up right here.

Come on, fellas.

All right,

everybody turn to the right.

Chins up, start walking.

Let's take this outside.

What the hell are you doing?

Think they got

options, right?

I brought you here

to make 'em better,

not kick 'em out

into the street.

They may have

a little bit of attitude...

I don't care about attitude.

Bring it.

These guys are stuck, D.

They ain't getting any better.

How long they been a crew,

five years?

Six years.

Even worse.

They've hit

the tipping point.

They've stopped putting all their blood,

sweat and tears into winning a battle

and started putting it

into just not losing.

Trust me, man,

I got a plan.

What you have

is an empty room.

That's what you got.

All right, what's your plan?

Make it good.

Insanity is doing the same

damn thing over and over

and expecting

a different result.

That's what

we've been doing.

It's why we

can't compete, D.

All of our competitors are gonna

bring their best dancers,

but the US, we send

one crew from one city

with maybe two or three

top-tier b-boys on it.

What we should be doing is

cherry-picking the top b-boys

from every crew in

every city across America.

Okay, let me

get this straight.

So you're saying put together

some kind of b-boy all-star team?

A b-boy dream team.

We did the same thing

in basketball,

and we started

that sport, too.

We were getting schooled

in the Olympics

till we put Jordan,

Magic, Bird,

Barkley, Ewing

on the court,

our dream team.

That dream team

had time to prepare.

You do realize you're

trying to put together

a whole new crew in what?

Battle of the Year

is in three months?

Here's the beauty of it. Freestyle

sessions are next week.

All the top crews

are gonna be in town.

Instead of a tune-up

for LA's Finest,

why not turn it into a

try-out for a national team?

When you put the word out

you're sponsoring a dream team,

they'll come in droves.

It's an opportunity

of a lifetime.

So that's your plan?

That's my plan.

It better work.

SWAY:
All right, so listen up.

Dante, the once legendary

b-boy, now hip-hop mogul,

is putting out

a nationwide shout.

Yo, this is it.

Pay close attention.

Crews from sea to shining sea,

north, south, east and west,

this is for you.

My man Dante is on the hunt

for America's best b-boys

to represent the US

in the world championship.

That's right, he's gonna

handpick a dream team.

You want to be a part of it,

get down to that freestyle

competition with Cross One,
