The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers on the 82nd Annual Academy Awards

I first saw this group of amazing dancers perform on So You Think You Can Dance last season, and was blown away! Then, last night as I was watching the Oscars, this group of dancers began performing to a medley of songs nominated for Best Original Song and I knew immediately it was the same group. They are called the Legion of Extraordinary Dancers. Everything about their performance last night was spectacular, from the staging, props, costumes and choreography, to the dancers' talent and strength. I have never before seen B-boys (extremely good ones, I might add) dance with such musicality and grace.

Now I know there is some criticism out there that the songs for Best Original Song were not performed live last night, but I would like to applaud the Academy Awards for choosing the LXD to perform to these songs. I think the smiles on the faces of the nominees, plus the few standing ovations they received, speaks volumes. I cannot wait to see what the LXD comes up with next. Maybe one day we can get them to perform in KC...
