The L.X.D.

Before i continue with my adventures in New York, I want to share a video I came across on a popping forum (Westcoastpoppin) yesterday.

“No Special effects. No Wires. Real People, Real powers.”

The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers (LXD) is another project created by Jon M. Chu, director of Step Up 2 the Streets and the co-founder of the  Adam/Chu Dance Crew (ACDC).  Personally I didnt really like what Jon did with the Step Up series because the dancing wasn’t too amazing and  the storyline was corny.  However, Jon made a change a year or two ago and started recruiting a lot of underground dancers that are really dope! (or i guess “extraordinary”…)  From what i know, these dancers were all originally a part of the ACDC project, but i guess that was all just a preperation for the LXD.  Anyways, here’s the trailer that i wanted to show everyone.

A lot of my favorite bboys and poppers (Jrock, Cloud, Luigi, Madd Chadd, Bop’n Andre, etc.) are goin to be in this online series.  I have a feeling that the storyline is still going to be pretty cheesy, but hopefully the dancing will be good enough to make up for that.  I really hope that they’ll portray the underground dance styles correctly at its full potential like they say they will.  This’ll be another positive exposure of our underground dance scene if it is done right!

The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers is suppose to come out in 2010… which is in less than a month! WTF?

Count Down till 2010 = 29 days.
