The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers

I recently came across a web series, on Hulu while searching around the site; the web series is called The LXD,  also known as The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers.  These dancers are specially chosen to become a part of The LXD, because their specific style of dance has a power that protects them.  The LXD is what brings all of these special dancers together at a special school, where they learn new tricks and the importance of being apart of this group.  While you wouldn't of been able to figure this all out by the first 14 minute episode, you will continue to learn this throughout seasons one and two.  In episode one, as you will see below, is about one of the first dancers chosen for The LXD.

I personally was quite intrigued by the first episode, mostly because I am a dancer but also because it just left me guessing and wanting more.  As a dancer I've always been a huge fan of So You Think You Can Dance and well in some of these episodes if you also are too you may recognize some familiar faces. But primarily Twitch from Season 4 and Season 7 as an "All-Star Dancer," he was also in last week's episode of Bones.  In The LXD, he is an instructor's assistant, students teacher, and lastly a performer.


I think that this web series has good potential, and considering they already have a Season 2 it must be doing good.  What I think makes this series special, is the simple yet unique story line and how every single dancer's artistic talent is portrayed.  Although their acting might not be as good as their dancing skills, I still think they play it off well. 

As we discussed in class, one of the problems we found with the youtube videos was that you couldn't just play one after another, continuously and without any advertisements.  But on Hulu, you are capable of doing so; by turning on the "autoplay button," in the bottom left corner of the video, it will play all of the videos, in order, and with limited commercials.

If you have some free time and enjoy watching very talented dancers, I would highly recommend this web series!
