The LXD – The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers

*Update March 5th, 2010* The LXD did a couple of performances as a part of a Ted Talk with John Chu! I added the video below. Note: Ted Talks are a part of the Technology, Entertainment, Design conferences. I highly suggest checking them out. Read about it on wiki and the main site

I was put on to these guys by seeing them perform a routine on So You Think You Can Dance (Season 6 Week 6 Episode 20). I thought the performance was inventive, unique, entertaining and very skillfully done. Pretty much the opposite of 85% of the stuff you might see while watching America’s Best Dance Crew. So, like any other internet savvy person of today, I binged google :))

What I found was something that looks very promising. Just check out the videos on their site to see the previews of their upcoming project if you want to know what I’m talking about: http://www.thelxd.com/ – It looks like a series of stories that will be told through dance. And I for one, can’t wait to see how it turns out.

Here is the video of the SYTYCD performance: “Presented by Jon M. Chu, the director of Step Up 2 and the upcoming Step Up 3-D; and Choreographed by Harry Shum Jr (from Glee:), Christopher Scott and Galen Hooks” Now that’s a lot of talent.
