Florida Dance crew sets creates massive terrorism scare in New York City

The NY Post reports on Club Envy (a Jacksonville-based stepping crew) and their unexcellent adventure in New York: "A camouflage-clad Florida dance troupe desperate to make it to a live TV talent show set off a rush-hour terror scare when they ditched their cars in merciless Lincoln Tunnel traffic and tried to sprint through the tube. The FBI-NYPD Joint Terrorism Task Force was called in -- and a massive contingent of heavily armed cops surrounded the harmless performers, who stood teary-eyed in their showy costumes as hundreds of angry drivers were stuck in the snarl. "They drew their guns on us at first," said Landon Burse, 24, the group's executive director who arranged the appearance on BET's "106 & Park".

Exclusive interview with Klaamation's Cornbread, featured dancer in this week's LXD

Cornbread (member of Klaamation) played one of the Umbras in this week's episode of The LXD. We spoke earlier this week about the making of this episode, how he got chosen to perform in it, some speculation about LXD Season 3, speculation on why Klaamation was not chosen for America's Best Dance Crew Season 5 (Shane Sparks told me at the NY auditions that the crew was one of his favorites at the LA auditions), whether they might audition for a Season 6, the members of Klaamation who appeared in We Are Heroes and Heavy Impact, Baby Maation, and much more. Listen in!

New Episode of The LXD: "The Greater of Two Evils" -- watch it now!

Wednesday morning = time for more The LXD. This week's episode called "The Greater of Two Evils" depicts evil vs. evil battling in a museum to steal a treasure. The evil ones include many outstanding dancers playing either Umbras (suave James Bond types with umbrellas) or the OX (more like street punks). Later today, I'll post a podcast with Klaamation member Cornbread, who plays one of the Umbras; in it he describes the intense process of creating this week's choreography. Happy watching!

Video: Live from NY -- It's America's Best Pregnant Dance Crew

The November 13, 2010 episode of Saturday Night Live contained a bogus ad for MTV, extending their most popular shows (e.g., Jersey Shore, My Super Sweet 16) by adding pregnancy to the mix. So starting at 0:31, here's America's Best Pregnant Dance Crew hosted by America's favorite MILF, featuring Stretch Markz! Let's hope ABDC producers aren't looking for a new gimmick.
