Merce Cunningham Dies: A Giant Passes

2009-07-28T23:30:28-04:00

I just found out that Merce Cunningham died Sunday night. No, he doesn't have much at all to do with hip hop dance but he was one of the great figures of modern dance and someone who all serious dancers should know about and all choreographers can benefit from considering more closely: "Mr. Cunningham ranks among the foremost figures of artistic modernism and among the few who have transformed the nature and status of dance theater, visionaries like Isadora Duncan, Serge Diaghilev, Martha Graham and George Balanchine." I studied modern dance in college from 1977 to 1982. I saw Cunningham's company a number of times over the years and even took a master class with him when I was an undergrad. As a young choreographer, he was one of my biggest heroes. RIP, Merce. Official Site: Merce Cunningham Dance Company

Introducing the Crews: America's Best Dance Crew Season 4

2009-07-28T12:33:24-04:00

Between a surprisingly interesting press release from MTV to provide the descriptions and the official YouTube Playlist from Fanscape, I have the easy makings of an introduction to all 9 crews competing in the new season of Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew set to kick off Sunday, August 9th. I was originally going to focus on just the hip hop crews but, heck, they made it so easy for me, let's see what the hip hop dancers will be up against! Competing Dance Crews in Alphabetical Order: AFROBORIKE (Las Vegas, NV) Comprised of fiery Puerto Ricans and Cubans, Afroborike is a hot Salsa crew ready to bring their own brand of raw and sexy Latin dancing to America. These dancers are hungry to experience the "American dream" and long to have the freedom of movement they have seen in American music videos. ARTISTRY IN MOTION (North Hollywood, CA) An all-female crew trying to break the stereotype of "bootyshakers," they are strong-minded women who bring their own contemporary and original style called "contemp-hop." Proud feminists, this all-girl group knows their energy, force and sex appeal make them more than capable to take on and dominate any all-male crew in their way. BEAT YA FEET KINGS (Washington, D.C.) This D.C. crew will take the stage with their very own dance style called "Beatin' Ya Feet." Their performances consist of a unique mix of footwork that could make them unstoppable. Although their style is currently only known around the D.C. area,...
