The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers on Conan Last Night (video)

Posted on December 9, 2010 by

Here's video of a very dark dance piece by the Legion of Extraordinary Dancers on the Conan O'Brian show last night.

Posted on August 19, 2010 by

Here's my list of the ten episodes of "season one" of the Legion of Extraordinary Dancers, grouped in order from best to worst.  My own criteria include how bad ass the dancing is, whether the plot distracts or adds, the cinematography, and overall coolness of the concept.  YMMV.

Posted on July 21, 2010 by

The LXD Episode 4 "The Uprising Begins" returns to b-boying,featuring Richard "Steelo" Vasquez in a one-on-one battle with a "former protegee." I like that it takes place in an office setting, using the props and the set to good effect, particularly the swirling papers and partitions.  I'm sure a lot of salarymen and women out…

The LXD Episode 3: Robot Love Story (mini-review)

Posted on July 13, 2010 by

While episode 1 focused on b-boying, and episode 2 featured kung-fu / parcour, episode 3 of the web dance series "The League of Extraordinary Dancers" turned to the precise and less flashy danceform known as "popping." The main character in this episode is "Sp3cimin," played by robotic dancer "Madd" Chadd Smith.  The popping that Chadd…
