Dance 360, back that ass up
OK, I saw another episode of Dance 360. I think that episode I saw yesterday might have been a fluke.
On this show, the two finalists had no style, and not one speck of b-boy vibe. The music was uninspiring. And the commentary from K-Sly and Fredro was distracting. That said, it is still refreshing to see a dance show like this.
To the credit of the show, they don't play up the actual competitive elements too much. This isn't Star Search or American Idol. They're so cheap with the prizes ($300 and an XBox??)... they have a big incentive to keep the focus OFF the skimpy prizes.
Considering how impressive the b-boys from the other episode were, it surprises me they chose to have any non-breakers on the show. B-boys are plentiful. And since they were shipping people in from all over the country, they could easily have cherry-picked the best breakers in the country.
Oh well. With all the new focus on hip youth activities and "extreme" sports, I'm sure someone will produce a true b-boy show eventually. This is pretty damn close, actually.

hi this blues eye rip, i want to giave a shout to eveander n milbrook yo!!!!!!

Dance 360 is HOTTT ("holding on to the thermometer")!!!
Take it around the horn...
tag em in... tag em in.... head to head
a b-boyyyy from Vancouver.

Dance 360 is on some BULLSHIT! It's the wackest dance show i've seen since that Wade Robson thing they had on MTV. I've seen Dance 360 a few times. They have a few bboys on there, but none of them are raw. They just do the typical headspin, flare, a few back flips here and there, but no footwork or style. The dancers seem like they all just come from around So. Cal. The times that I've watched it, I never got to see anybody from the Bay Area. All the "dancers" are all jiggy. They should get some of the guys from Style Elements to tear that shit up. I can go on and on about how wack 360 is and probably won't convince anybody that is into that shit to agree with me. But for the ones that do, we just gotta educate the ones that are ignorant and to teach them the true meaning of this art. aight...peace (DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUT IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE: THE MIDDLE PASSAGE COMING 2005)

Listen, no one is saying it isn't flawed or hella corny. No one is saying they couldn't do a better job with the production. And I think most would agree that we can do without all the stupid commentary and the chanting and shit.
But this is still the best dance show on network TV since the early 1980s. And that's a fact. It's a sad fact... but it's a fact. It's not even in the same league as the Wade Robson Project. That's a reality show. This is a dance show.
Also, I didn't see any members of Style Elements, but as I mentioned in my other article about Dance 360, Fleks (L.A. Breakers) took 1st in one of their "battles."
For me, the big deal here is that the networks are even considering a show that is modeled after b-boy battles. I also find that MC and DJ battles usually fall flat on TV. But b-boy battles have a little more potential -- not much -- but just enough that it might even get a better show than Dance 360.

You guys should check out www.dance360.com these guys (or girls?) sell f-in hilarious dance360 shirts..the show is disturbing but its fun to watch

dance 360 is the tightest show out their
i watch the show everyday at 5:30 i would like to be on your show doing a 360 dance thanks for your time have a 360 day.

WHo ever think Dance 360 is Bullshit there a B***H That show is off the hook one day I'm Going to be on Dat show doing hip hop danc eand I'm Going to TEAR DAt Shit Up even though I'm Only 12 Go On 13 O yeah if ya'll look @ Dis Personal K-Sly Wazz up

Wuzz Up?Dance360 iz da shiat,I cant miss a show of it.Luv 2 watch them battle & i juss CRACK up when i see some of them peepz that cant dance....SOME SHIAT THERE!!!heh heh heh...if u cant dance dont make a fool out of yourself...but i give them propz 4 having the nerves 2 go out there & do there thang..peace out...KEL MITCHEL iz cuuuttte!!!heh heh heh.............

Just saw the show today. Some definite losers up on that show. I could beat all the guys that were on there and I'm not even a B-girl. It is a lot like American Idol in the fact that so many of the people there really have no talent. Most of my friends dance better than the people on that show, but then again..I've seen plenty of better singers in the Karaoke bar. LOL! But hey, it's a dance show....I'd much rather watch a dance battling show other than another Judge Judy or Survivor.
Props to Dance 360 for bringing the dancers out to bust a move!
P.S. They could use some better beats though...and who really gives a s*&t about an X-Box anyway?

i think that u should have a another kids day because i would like to show them how that real tampa,fl people dance.

all of u guys should do a another kids day because i have what take to win and i would like to show who the tampa,fl girl dance like and no one can beat a tampa girl like me.

oh my god dance 360 is brainwashing our children into believe that the entire mtv culture is not acceptable but a preffered way of living. It is complete bullshit. I despise everything word said on this show and feel it is provoking a serious decline in the mental well-being of our youth.

man 360 is so hot exspecially kel with his hot ass!

I watch this show with my 11 year old son. I would like to see a segment that takes it back to the days of old school for my age group.I also have an 18 year old that watches the show. I am forty something but I was real fly and still have some moves from back in the day.

I love the show i see it with my 6 year old son , he wants to try that , he says he can dance bad azs also , we like the way the people r , we watch the show all the time?

yeah i watch 360 every weekday and think how cool it is to be on the show. If i could be on it that would be so cool. I like the dancers on the show some of them are just posers always on the floor turning real slow something like a balerina, but other than that the show is great "360".

I THINK 360 IS THE BOMB I LIKE KEL MITCHELL AND THE GUY WHO PLAYED ON MOESHA AS "Q" I BELIEVE I COULD MAKE THE DANCE360. I LOVE YOU GUYS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

I HOPE THAT ONE DAY ILL MAKE THE 360 AND SHOW EVERYBODY HOW DALLAS TX. GET DOWN, DOWN HERE I LOVE YOU KEL MITCHELL "WELCOME TO THE GOOD BURGER HOME OF THE GOOD DANCERS,AND TO "Q" FROM THE MOESHA SHOW,I LOVE YOU TOO.AND I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU GUYS ONE DAY.

I think that Mitchell and Q are cute I hope to meet them one day p.s hala at your girl akasweetness

Hey my name is Caprice and I'm 9, now DANCE 360 is the 2nd hottest show on UPN. I'd like to be on Dance 360. It's the best show on the planet. I really like the kids the special because one of the white girls on there(no offense) was like "I'm here to show all these black girls that white girls really can dance!" Fredro and Kel need to get more kid specials on DANCE 360 and get more prizes for teenagers and preteens. They give kids clothes and karoke machines but they give teenagers money and a X-Box ya'll don't give kids money!

wassup dude! My name is Maris Im 15 yrs old and i love dance 360 man its really cool n all da good dancer they're so fantastic i hope i can be there cause my dreams is to be famous good dancer yo jst like ya!!! tackle me tackle in!!!

FUCK DANCE 360!! THAT SHOW FUCKIN SUCKS BALLS.. DJ K-SLY IS A FUCKIN STAGE PROP! ILL BATTLE HER ANY FUCKIN DAY!!

DJ K-Sly ain't shit compared to other female dj's. (cellskii . deeandroid . killa jewel. tyra from saigon etc..) or any real dj in that matter..

I really love the whole Dance 360, and I love that Fredro Starr is one of the host because it makes the show a whole lot better.I think Fredro Starr is sooooooooooooooooooo hot, and I would give anything to have a night with him.I also think that they need to make the people dance better than what they do because I don't see how anybody wins because those dances are ugly, and I can do soooo much better.I love you Fredro.

I have to admit, i watch this show as a total joke, but seeing that robot guy (he should of won, considering how cool he is) the pimp with the stick and the b-boy, got me thinking it can be pretty good. sure the prizes are lame, but wtf do you expect, its a little show in seattle (i beleve).
the b-boy battles in this show is worth watching, but as someone said it can be quite pathetic when the two finalist dancers suck...

Man ya'll are hatin now. Opinions are one thing but all that name callin and shit, please. I love K-Sly. She must be a good ass show prop cuz your dumb asses are talkin about her "ho-chinese bitch ass!" And you're namin on those female battle djs, she's a radio dj stupid. www.thebeatla.com www.djksly.com IN LOS ANGELES!!!!!!!!! You ain't. Get yo shit right and Fredro is tight too. The show ain't that great but it is what it is.

I LOVE DANCE 360 DAT SHOW IZ DA BOMB ESPECIALLY WHEN I SEE KEL'S FINE ASS AND FREDRO MAN U IZ HELLA SEXY U CAN CALL ME ANY DAY, OH DONT THINK I FORGOT MA GURL DJ K-SLY GURL DEM BEATS U BE DROPPIN BE HELLA TIGHT WELL I GOTTA GO PEACE OUT "HOME SKILLET BISCUITS" HA HA HA :]

yo i saw dance 360n i wanna go on it id beat all there asses 4 shaw bt its in america n sadly dnt live there so sadly cnt show ya'll hw its dun hehe oj xxxx

Hey Dance 360 i like ya show even though am far away here in Kenya,Africa.Its hot and cool

Dance360 makes ma brain boil and reel
Ma soul hots up and ma heart beat and click
Ma body melt down and ma limbs swing and fluster.
I shake, and a thin sweat ooze on ma skin, as tho' I am there with da dancers.I love the figure-8 gals and the guys with the flexibility of a snake.
But the monotony of the beats cause in me indigestion.I long for modulation, or some voice.My crave ferments into a salty taste on my tongue.
Some white gals do the same thing, as though they are photocopier machines, no style, no creativity, no motivated movements nor some feelings in the portrayed body image; no imagination but stiff, mechanical,robot-switched movements.
I used to be a breakdancer few years ago and I know what dance360 are missing. I need to come over someday, to tha place, if invited, and show you, although I confess I have added some flesh since I last did the exact copy of MJ-footwork, but I am sure I will show thrill and fire. let me come. Okay? Invite me through e-mail: cokemwa2003@yahoo.com. I am Kenyan.Okay. Very proud, self-confidence,creatively born, with dancing limbs hanging all over me.
See you, Christopher Okemwa.

Does anybody know who that guy C.H.A.D is??? The one who did the robot dancing and came out with breakdancing out of nowhere. He is wicked funny and I would like to know more about him. Somebody post some links on him.
