Greatness as a dancer can mean countless hours of blood, sweat, love, and tears. With the latest trend on reality T.V. broadcasting the competitive world of dance, audiences get to witness a portion of the physical and mental struggles a dancer may face. Thanks to shows such as America's Best Dance Crew (ABDC), the recognition of dance has grown to another level.

I had the pleasure to speak with Mike Currasco “Murda”, a member of Supercr3w, an integration of three break dance crews. We talked about how a natural challenge with the unison of different crews is to remain strong as a whole and sticking together. Wanting the same things at the same time, and working hard on their art is a special connection they all had, which contributes to their success. On top of the mental connection that kept them together, there were responsibilities that had to be balanced, while striving to achieve great heights in the dance world.

These included maintaining jobs and conflicting schedules with the members of the crew, but Mike assures that the toughest struggle is to stick together and maintain the chemistry. The many years of struggle came to a rewarding confirmation when Supercr3w won Season 2 on ABDC.

Supercr3w's dedication and perseverance proved that they paved the way for themselves. Mike shares that the secrets to remain great at your craft, no matter what that may be, is to work hard every day and practice. He said, "Without dedicating enough time and attention to your art, you end up just going through the motions, then becoming stagnant and not growing to the next level. So unless you study and dedicate yourself to your craft, you're not going to be able to get there.” One must not be afraid to put things on hold and make the sacrifices required to excel. Mike believes, "Greater the struggle, greater the rewards."
