The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers (The LXD) is a group of amazing dancers who are working with director Jon M Chu (StepUp 2 and the upcoming StepUp 3-D)on an online serial show scheduled to begin in 2010. They debuted a showpiece on last night's broadcast of So You Think You Can Dance that was absolutely wonderful. You can friend them on Facebook, Here's the video, with choreography by Harry Shum (currently performing as "Mike Chang" on Glee!) Christopher Scott, and Galen Hooks.
And here is a trailer for the show:

They are keeping a very tight lid on publicity; I"m trying to find a list of the dancers, but have only found a list on this video of the crew performing with Ellen DeGeneres at her live show in Vegas. Here's some background on the project, but I have not found a wikipedia entry, which shows how Chu is building publicity, bit by bit. I'm so psyched for the success of this venture! The premise of the series will appeal to comic book/manga fans as well as dance fans:
"The 10-week Volume One of LXD...will chronicle the formation of “the most elite dance crew in the world,” tracing the origins of the seven schools of dance that make up the famed crew. Chu blends comic-book style characters with a fictional cinematic narrative. The story begins with the modern day regrouping of a 1930’s era dance troupe birthed out of the traveling circus circuit."

It's not all that surprising that they got rid of Noelle - she had bad feet
I wonder if Jakob will win because he has such great feet, or if Mollee will win because all the High School Musical fans will float her to the top?
