    The LXD dances on an entirely different level from anyone else out there. It’s breathtaking, acrobatic, impressive, and so…buckkkkkk. :) Lil C I thought that your word sums it up so well.

    Half of the people hating should go study dance, then you can see the complexity of Madd Chadd and Frantick.

    Dance has created a global labratory online?

    What´s up TED, you can´t find any clowns that wanna talk so you put in some dancers that have been standing on their head for too long.

  11. simplyshem Says:

    Check all the Hating!! At any rate, every one of those dancers put alot of time and effort to reach where they’re at and to be capable of what they are. It’s a great compilation and deserves some credit.

    great acrobaticism, great clownsmanship, great mimelike show. doesn’t look much like dance to me though, with the laid on string orchestra trying to mimick some type of expressivity, I don’t see it.

    is it me or this is false information is given, dnt get me wrong the dancing is good but i’m watch and follow krump and LIL C ‘The King of Krump’ im sorry but there is already a king of krump he even has a tattoo of it n his name is MIJO, i’m sorry but LiL C needs to stop coz that was reli on called for.

    I feel sorry for you with your very small mind. The media has got you singing their songs and your voice is cracking. Your type would not recognize a child molester if he sat on you….but you choose to label someone with a tender heart and an arrested childhood development as such? Be careful that you don’t become the type of parent that is totally oblivious (or worse) turns a blind eye to the abuse your children suffer at the hands of your friends and relations…right under your very nose!

  23. AkosM Says:

    Jackson wasn’t the …
    Jackson wasn’t the best. He learned from a lot of people. And many of his moves weren’t even his moves. You’re forgetting the countless jazz, tap, ballet, contemporary etc dancers. And don’t try to imprison people’s potential by calling them “the best” in your subjective opinion. Best in what or compared to what?
