Ne-Yo is one of the top R&B stars who feature dance prominently in their music -- he's even starred in projects like "Stomp the Yard" that keep hip hop dance at its core -- so it's fitting that the multi-platinum recording artist is the first performer on the first episode of MTV's re-started "America's Best Dance Crew: Road to the VMAs."
"ABDC," which airs Wednesday night, pits champion crews from the show's seven seasons against each other. The competing crews include Season 2 winner Super Cr3w, Season 3 winner Quest Crew, Season 4 winner We Are Heroes, Season 6 winner IamMe and Season 7 winners the Elektrolytes.
