truly extraordinary
STOP then press play... I think you should see this. Press PLAY!
If you watched the 82nd Academy Awards without missing a single frame, I’m pretty sure you know what I’m talking about. The LXD (The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers) was created by the Director Jon M. Chu, wherein he put together an elite group of dancers to make a web series-- the first online dance adventure.
The LXD is the ultimate mixture of dance genres raging from hip-hop to mechanical precision, breakdancing, krumping, contemporary and modern ballet. Well crafted choreography usually accompanied with classical and symphonic rock, transforms their body movements into living works of art—a breath-taking display of poetry in motion.
One of my favourites is their number for So You Think You Can Dance. They performed with the music of Vitamin String Quartet’s version of Yellow by Coldplay. It was nothing short of amazing. The movements, no matter how many different styles inspired them, complemented each other. Adorned with great stunts and dramatic story-telling, it would be impossible to witness them take the stage and not say WOW! You could just imagine my frustration when Party Pilipinas aka SOP Part 2, did a desperate version of the performance. They looked ridiculous really. That kind of choreography works for the LXD because they are masters of their craft. At least a decent dancer is qualified to try and do it... but I strongly believe Aljur Abrenica is far from being one.
The LXD also has performed live for the 2010 TED conference and a TBS Ellen DeGeneres special at Caesar's Palace. The web series is due this year. Visit THELXD.COM for updates and performances.
I can’t wait. T_T
