Jon M. Chu has been hard at work at getting his new dance crew epic, League of Extraordinary Dancers aka LXD, promoted the past and following year for some time now. And it’s great to see him release a TED performance of his crews. It’s no doubt inspirational, and just helps spotlight the talents and the amazing abilities of these dancers. Sometime it’s easy to forget with all our comics, super-hero movies, and shows, that there are actually real life super heroes…
Imagine two rival factions — one good, one evil — squaring off in an epic battle … an epic dance battle. Welcome to The LXD, a new online adventure in which heroes and villains combat each other with dance superpowers. With stunning choreography, dancers float over the ground like marionettes or crush the laws of physics beneath their feet when they perform breathtaking aerial maneuvers and transcendental step sequences.
The series hopes to do more than follow the dance-battle zeitgeist that rules today’s TV ratings. In addition to live performances, The LXD reveals dance superheroes on both sides of the screen—viewers can learn dance moves from instructional videos, and even become part of the story by participating in the web community. The LXD is written and directed by Jon Chu, a veteran of dance productions, including the box office sensation Step Up 2: The Streets and the Internet phenomenon, The Biggest Online Dance Battle.
