This Will All Make Perfect Sense Someday...: My latest obsession

So, since the three of you that read this watch/like SYTYCD, I'm sure you all might remember a group called the Legion of Extraordinary Dancers performed last season. Lil C was a member. If not, here's a clip:

Well, it turns out Legacy, who was my favorite contestant from season 6, is also a member! But naturally, he didn't get to dance with them on the show.

This group was started by Jon Chu, who directed Step Up 2. He thought dancing was awesome and a great way to tell stories, so he got together a group of really awesome street dancers. And their launching an online show that will mix dance, superhero-esqe stories, and movie-quality cinematography. They're supported and sponsored by Paramount, Agility Studios, and Puma. It looks awesome! Here's a trailer:

You may have noticed in the trailer a familiar face. It's Harry Shum Jr., the "Other Asian" from Glee! He's a performer and choreographer with the LXD.

So, yeah, this is supposedly coming out sometime this year and I'm super excited! It looks awesome! And lots of media/news sources are freaking out over it too, mainly saying how ground-breaking it could be for both dance and online shows.

So I won't bore you with anymore about it, but if you are interested, here are some more clips:

LXD at the TED performance (Really long, but informative, and the only time I've liked Krump)

So, Jon Chu and another guy named Adam from Step Up 2 had a dance group that was the forerunner for LXD, called Adam Chu Dance Crew, or ACDC. Many of their members are LXD members, like Legacy, but they had some others, like the Jabbawockez (sp?). The challenged Miley Cyrus to an online dance battle, and here's some of their stuff:
