DanceJam Introduces Community for Fans to Learn, Network and Become Dance Stars on the Web
MENLO PARK, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- DanceJam, the first dance-focused social media destination, invites you to take a peek at www.dancejam.com. MC Hammer, the dean of urban dance, has teamed with Geoffrey Arone and Anthony Young, creators of social network browser Flock, to introduce DanceJam. DanceJam is an interactive community where fans of dance can learn, share, network and show off the different flavors of dance. Members can compete to become dance stars, be part of the star-making process or just watch some great dancing.
DanceJam comes as a response to the exponential demand for online video dance content. More than 75 percent of the Billboard Top 20 hits are dance music. Dance reality shows garner millions of viewers every week. Dance is a universal form of expression, and it now tops mainstream entertainment outlets. But until now there hasn't been a central site on the Internet that allowed dancers and fans to interact, create profiles, share moves, learn dances, vote for their favorite members and create the next wave of dance stars.
"Dance is part of the global culture and gives us a look back in time," said MC Hammer, co-founder and chief strategy officer of DanceJam. "From the Nicholas Brothers, Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers, to Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, dance has always defined eras. Dance is unlike any other social medium. It's the core of our culture."
DanceJam is the best online resource for dancers, fans of dance and anyone interested in dance culture. The interactive experience entertains and allows members to network with performers and dance fans from around the world. Visitors and members can also explore different regional dance styles, learn new steps and connect with industry professionals.
Major dancers, choreographers and music pros are already participating in DanceJam.
DanceJam includes a unique geographic categorization showing which styles and dancers are most popular in each city or region. With dance competitions, fan-based networking and the potential for real-world events based on online activity, DanceJam members may even become future dance stars. Or users can just enjoy being part of the star-making process.
Members of the site will be able to:
-- Be a dance star or help make someone a star.
-- Watch, compete and learn how to dance.
-- Explore different types of dances.
-- Add their own dance videos or browse the extensive library of dance moves and performers.
-- Build fan bases and connect to their favorite performers.
-- Participate in regularly scheduled Dance Battles by adding their videos or voting on others.
-- Create a profile that includes their favorite dances, dancers and a personal shout-out.
-- Connect with other dancers or fans in their region.
"If Facebook and MySpace are your homes on the web, DanceJam is where you go to hang out," said Geoffrey Arone, CEO of DanceJam. "DanceJam is the place for pros and fans to meet. It's a live, 24-7 stage to be a star or help make one. Dancers, choreographers, producers and recording artists are all part of the community. And anyone can join."
