League of Extraordinary Dancers www.rickey.org Note: Apparently it's "Legion of Extraordinary Dancers". Lil C tweeted that it was League so I followed that. Their website is at www.thelxd.com
You've probably seen them lately if you see a large group of dancers on the Oscar's or Grammy's, shows like that. Plus, more than a few were in Magic Mike. Plus a few were on Ellen as back up dancers due to tWitch being one of the dancers and Ellen's 'DJ'.
Can't understand why this doesn't have 100 million views by now. Such a beautiful interpretation of the song, in addition to being extraordinary dancing. Was like a kaleidoscope perfectly synchronized to music.
I still remember the night I first saw this on SYTYCD--this was the TRUE meaning of the term 'shock and awe'! These years later it still inspires me with it's movement and flow, and the music is perfect. Never watched dance until season 4, now an avid fan--but somehow I feel I will never experience anything quite like this again. The cliche they us in sports fits so well--this one was truly one for the ages!!!!
This really shows that no matter what you do whether it's ballet, breakdancing, krumping or salsa dancing, it's by how you express yourself to what you love.
I don't know why people are complaining about the music. The music is what makes this performance extra special and beautiful. And the dancers... just wow!
Krump, Hip-hop, Breakdance. All usually hard hitting. They turned it into something so graceful and elegant. This dance really touched me. The musicality of this choreo was amazing. This is by far the best Choreography I have ever seen in my life. So beautiful to see straight lines and how clean every single move was!! omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
i still cry to this day with tears of joy after watching this. i saw it live when this arried on the show. but it still gives me chills. also i have watched this over 15 times already.
Yeah, I'm here cause of the new season of the show. I missed past seasons & obviously this routine as well. One of the hottest choreographed pieces I've seen. Dance is a great creative expression.
This shows the REAL TALENT that this group has! Using the classical music, but still remain true to the dance style. They were tight, in sync, & flowed with the music perfectly! EPIC JOB! They truly are EXTRAORDINARY!
The choreo is amazing!! And even more amazing is that this is the crew that Legacy dances with!! Cuz of Legacy's success on the show they were given an awesome platform to showcase themselves and did they ever!!
Certainly its not easy to create a show made in agressive movements under so lovely song. Congratulations to all. To fell mistakes and delays dont take out the beauty of this wonderful work! I breath deply when saw it! And dont get tired of seing it again and again!!
I love the beauty of a song that brings out the beauty and grace of a dance that is typically so hard hitting and intense. The two opposites combine for a great story. The synchronicity and technicality are awe-inspiring, and the entire piece brings a whole new design of dance to the table. Thank you for this.
This is, bar none, the most beautiful hip hop routine I have ever seen. It's not just the tricks, the choreography itself is just mind-blowing. Amazing, amazing stuff.
@skwarr illusion twist - hook - sideswipe - touchdown raiz - cork double leg. It's a sport called tricking. the three guys are jeremy marinas, anis cheurfa and daniel graham i believe. its an aesthetic blend of gymnastics and martial arts, so preferably u should have either of these bases. however u can also be self taught through youtube etc.
I hope they are all very proud of themselves because that was absolutely amazing. It was so clean cut and just...I can't find the words. I can watch it over and over again.
Wow. Brilliant choreography and execution. They looked like they were flying in some parts - or wearing a wire. Incredible. They made it look effortless, but as they take their bows and are catching their breath you realize how physically demanding this was. Outstnading!
so i just commented on this yesterday but im so obsessed i have to comment again.. this blows my mind and is probably the coolest thing ive ever seen. if you havent, you should go to their website. their online movie looks amazing.
ugh i love the guy with the yellow belt on man can he dance.(3 i love the choreography and the choreographer best dance i have ever ever seen literally!
when i saw this on sytycd last wednesday i was in such amazement.. i couldnt think of anything other than this performance for the rest of the next day
I used to watch “LXD” On RU-vid along time ago. It was a great series I don’t know whatever happened to them but they were a phenomenal group of dancers. I don’t know if these dances are the same as from the RU-vid program or not.
@MrJpman2 i think that the music is what makes this piece so beautiful. the way they mix streetdance with this song makes the performance stand out. i loved it :)
They Are Tight! They put so many mixed dances into the performance.. This Is one of the best grouped dancers i ever seen! Krump Movement ^ -Blazestyle Lstyle
@Baxx282 yeah lil c is a member of the lxd as well as legacy from this seasons top 20. legacy couldnt perform cause he was still competing on the show at the time of this performance
