Static Noyze (Cambridge, MA): Static Noyze has always felt like outcasts, never really feeling like they fit in with anyone but each other. Bored with what they call “stock hip hop” – routines and moves that they’ve seen before – this off-the-wall group of dancers promises to shake up the “ABDC” stage with their distinct style of dance. They consider themselves to be innovators and describe their dance style as hip-hop with a contemporary twist. What makes them truly unique though, is that they use their …read more

After the horrible news that choreographer Shane Sparks had been arrested, the producers of America’s Best Dance Crew had no choice but to replace him as a judge on the show. At least until the outcome of his legal issues. I’m still hoping for the best for him.
So today, we finally got word of the replacement judge’s identity. Singer Omarion will join Lil’ Mama & JC Chasez as the third judge for season 5 of ABDC. He looks like he’ll be a good choice in the judges’ seat and I can’t wait for the new season.
“Omarion is one …read more

It’s no surprise that a number of hot male dancers made Buddy TV’s Top 100 Sexiest Men of 2009 list too. In fact, I’m in total agreement about nearly all of these.
French actor Gilles Marini placed the highest of the male dancers on the list. (No offense to anyone, but why can’t my neighbors look like him and shower outside…)
#66 Ryan Di Lello, So You Think You Can Dance
Some people might think all male dancers are lithe, slightly effeminate and delicate dancers. Not Ryan. This ballroom stud is a macho, muscular extreme sports enthusiast whose …read more
