It was time for the first Breakdown Shakedown. Multiple teams from Asia, Australia and Europe gathered in the USA. The American team made a flashy entrance. These teams were all trained to dance so that they could compete in the Breakdown Shakedown and it went for three days. The American team got to the Grand Finals. The team they were up against was the Japanese team. It was a long dance battle. All the formations and the freezes were all great but only one team could win. The points were tallied by the judges.
"The scores for the Formations were....
Japan 32
USA 28"
"For the cleanness of the moves were....
USA 43
Japan 38"
"And finally... The overall scores were....
USA 71
Japan 70"
Said the judges
It was a very close match but the American team became the very first champions of the Breakdown Shakedown.
