A hip-hop dance dream team, the ladies of Beat Freaks have won too many awards to count and have been featured on numerous television shows, as well as in music videos and tours with the likes of Pink, Avril Lavigne, Miley Cyrus and Madonna, as well as in movies like You Got Served and Step Up 2.

"We are an all styles crew, so we teach each other" says Out There. Adds Lockn'Key, "This is a well-rounded group of women. We have B- girling, freestyle, hip-hop, popping, locking, house salsa, jazz, ballet, you name it." Plus, says Rina, "We love to laugh and to have fun.

"With wide ranging credits and styles, it's not surprising to see a range of music fueling their favorites. The Beat Freaks go for everything from Hot Chip, M.I.A., Santogold and CSS to OutKast, T.I., Aaliyah and Missy Elliottt to Prince, Zapp and James Brown.

Why do the Beat Freaks think they'll take the prize on this season of America's Best Dance Crew? "I think America is ready to see a strong, powerful group of young women who are passionate about what they do," says Lockn'Key. Adds Teresa, "Because we are well-rounded, professional, funky, fun and the best!"
