Found this really fun video from Jon M. Chu (of LXD fame) on my Twitter list. They are busy busy busy shooting Step Up 3D (I really liked the first two movies, this should be interesting).

Sometimes when you’re on a set at all hours of the night (and have gotten no sleep on your 8 hours off) thinks get kinda weird, wooly and wild.

What better thing to do than freestyle?

Dija see B-Boy Legacy poke his lil’ face in there? Sweet. Thanks for the vid Jon!

The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers’ director Jon M. Chu, along with choreographers Harry Shum Jr. and Chris Scott made a videoThe LXD to perform on 2010 Oscars announcement today on their YouTube page that they have officially been invited to perform on the telecast of the 82nd Academy Awards March 7th on ABC. Sa-weeeeeeeet!

Thank gawd for Mr. Adam Shankman, director of the presentation this year. Seeing as he has a vested interest in dance, he is certainly making it way more interesting for those who love dance. Can’t wait to see what he’s concocted for the viewers.

Meanwhile, Jon also said the LXD had been invited to perform on Ted Talks (ted.com) next week. Tune in for that online!

Here’s to a fantastic Oscars 2010!

Be on the lookout for an upcoming online “dance adventure” called The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers, or The LXD as they are calling it for short.

LXD debuted their dancers (Lil’ C is among the cast) on the Wednesday night results show from So You Think You Can Dance this last week.  And BOY are they amazing.  Here’s the video from the live show:

But wait–there’s more.  This project, created by director Jon M. Chu (from Step Up fame) is going to be an actual serial online. Meaning, it will tell a story. This has me jumping up and down! Storytelling with dance–how can it get better than that? Well, couple it with amazing dancers and choreographers, and you have this:
