Joren Reyes This series is beautiful! Anyone who doesn't appreciate needs to open their eyes. So much of it is conceptual and needs much understanding. For those people that think its stupid to have dance as a superpower, that's not what's really going on. If you watch the second season, you understand that dancing is the way that these people manipulate their inner energy. In shows like Avatar: The last Airbender and Naruto, they do the same thing! In Naruto, they use movements to focus and manipulate what they call Chakra. In LXD, dancing is used to focus and manipulate what they call Ra(This is explained on the website, on the second season). It's a great way to show dance.There are some parts of the series that are left unanswered and there are a few editing errors which is why i do not give it the 10 out of 10.As far as dancing goes, it is top-notch. All of the dancers are reputable performers that are very popular in the dancing scene. The dancing is very inspirational, as it shows all types of dancing, including break dancing, crumping, and popping.The music is superb and adds a lot to the film.Overall, this series is great and I recommend it to anyone that loves dancing or art.
rgcustomer I've only seen the first season. Maybe I need to look a little closer at their website to find the second season, which IMDb says has already been shown.This is primarily a series of shorts (maybe 7-10 minutes each) about street dance. Some folks might not consider some of it to be dance, but more like gymnastics or illusion. It's a fine line.But whatever you call it, the dance is entertaining. And the music is really good too. Certainly the production values far exceed any other web series I've seen (keeping in mind I usually watch Star Trek fan films of varying levels of quality). This is a very slick production, even for television.Where it falls apart is with the story. By episode ten, you're rolling your eyes at the guy who introduces each episode in such a cliché (and some might say offensive) way. And while I can understand the desire to turn what you do into a superpower, this is not the way to do it. Probably the best episode was Duet, which was just a simple sort of long-distance romance dance between a guy and a girl (still, points lost for making this I think the only episode that isn't all male). Another episode that was interesting was one that takes off on the familiar tale of magic dancing shoes (forget the title). But most of the rest are kinda embarrassing to admit watching. It seems to take place in a world where nobody dances, unless they have this super dance power, and then they split up into the LXD, and the bad guys. This is the sort of thing that maybe your own dance club or whatever might make as sort of a home video to remember old times, but you wouldn't broadcast it to the world.So, to sum, great dancing, great music, polished to a shine, but the story is absurd.I rate Season 1 at 7/10. Barely. Each episode is short enough that you can focus on the dancing, and mostly ignore the story. I don't see much room for the dancing or music to improve, so hopefully the story improves in Season 2.
beautifulchaos6362 The LXD is an example of art in it's purest form. Yes it can be clichéd and cheesy at times but it has soul. For those of you who don't like it, hey it's you're opinion. This series has the potential for big things as well as opening doors for dancers futures all around. Jon Chu said in an interview that this was just the beginning. He has a lot more in store with dance and giving it the appreciation that it deserves. If you haven't seen The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers I would recommend that you do so! This series makes me go through an emotional roller-coaster I don't think I could ever forget....Dream on, stay inspired, live happily...
dave660 OK...think about this for a minute. imagine superheros that have no superpowers,no weapons or even real martial arts training...nope their special skill is, you guessed it...DANCING !! i'm serious. This is about the most cornball idea i've seen in a long time obviously made to cash in on both the superhero film craze and the unexplainable success of TV's "dancing with the stars" and "america's best dance crew" popularity. Made by the same guy the gave us the classic(haha) "step up" dance movie series i can't imagine this appealing to anyone but hard core dance fans whoever they are. If you ever wondered what the X men would be like if they were led by Paula Abdul check, this out but serious action fans should avoid this like a high school dance residual..
