Show off your dance moves
Friday, June 18, 2010
OK, YouTube. We know you love to dance. You've been shaking your stuff in front of the camera in your bedrooms, bathrooms and on the streets for years now. And all that practice is about to pay off: we’re joining forces with
Jon M. Chu
(and Dr Pepper Cherry) for the first-ever YouTube dance contest -- "YouTube Dance Studio.”
If you love dance, you know who Jon Chu is. From the
Miley and Mandy ACDC Dance Battle
to the
Legion of Extraordinary Dancers
, to directing
Step-Up 2
and the upcoming
Step-Up 3D
, Chu is at the nexus of some of the most energetic, funky dancers you’ve ever seen. Now he wants to find the next generation of extraordinary talents on YouTube.
Here's the deal: pick the style of dance that suits you --
hip-hop
,
jazz-funk
or
b-boys & b-girls
. Prove you know how to dance by replicating the choreography in the video; then show off your personality in the freestyle section. If your talent and style stand above the rest, you could win a trip for two to Los Angeles, where you'll spend a day with Jon M. Chu at a jam session with some of the best hip-hop dancers around. You'll also have the opportunity to dance in an Ultra Records music video.
So bring it! Download the selected tracks, learn the moves, take out your camera, and show off your style. We know you have a passion for dance, and we want the world to see it, too.
