Chu,[5][2] who says he was inspired to create the series by Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and "Smooth Criminal" music videos and by the dancers he met while filming the movie The Streets.[3][4][5] The series was choreographed by Christopher Scott and Harry Shum, Jr. with assistant choreography by Galen Hooks.[6][5][7]{{#tag:ref|Chris Scott, Harry Shum, and Galen Hooks are the main choreographers; however, other choreographers have been brought in throughout the series. Jonathan "Legacy" Perez choreographed season one's first episode, "The Tale of Trevor Drift".[8] Jamal Sims choreographed season three's episode, "Can't Dance".[9] Dee Caspery choreographed season three's episode, "Mess in Aisle 7".[10] Kenneth "Free" Crawford and Mike Song choreographed season three's episode "Reprogram".[11] |group="fn"}} Members had a wide variety of specialties including hip-hop, krumping, contemporary, tricking, popping, b-boying, jazz, tap, and ballet.[3][5][7] All of the choreography and stunts were real; there were no special effects or wire work[3] and the entire series was shot on location without the use of green screens.[3] 50% of the sales of the official LXD T-shirt went to support the work of the non-profit organization Invisible Children, Inc..[12]{{#tag:ref|Chu met Jason Russell, one of the cofounders of Invisible Children, while in film school.[13]|group="fn"}} PUMA was the lead sponsor for The LXD.[14] As of 2010, an official soundtrack was in production.[15] The first LXD theatrical release was presented as a 3D short film, screening before the director's fan cut of Never Say Never.

Series historyThe first two seasons of The LXD were released in 2010 while the third premiered in August 2011.[26] Shooting first began for the series in February 2009.[27] It took 18 months to complete filming for the first two seasons.[27] The Uprising BeginsSeason one focuses on the back story of the Legion of Extraordinary Dancers, the "good guys".[28] Each episode introduces each of the characters and their specific dance ability.[3] The season premiered July 7, 2010 on Hulu.[29][30] The first two webisodes (Chapters in the series), "The Tale of Trevor Drift" and "AntiGravity Heroes", were both released July 7. The remaining eight were released every Wednesday afterward.[29]
Secrets of the RaSeason two tells the back story of the villains of The LXD[28] which consist of Organization X—called The Ox—and The Umbras. The second season also premiered with two chapters, "The Legion" and "Lessons", which were released October 26, 2010. The remaining webisodes were released every Wednesday after with the exception of Wednesday, November 24 due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
Super BalletThere is episode titled "Super Ballet" that was supposed to be presented as part of the series narrative. It was left out of season two because Chu felt it didn't fit into the storyline. He eventually released it in 2012 when The LXD became available on YouTube.[31] The dancing performed in the episode is a mix of ballet and tricking. Rise of the DriftsSeason three tells the back story of how the LXD was formed and what led to the Ox and the Umbras uniting to become the Alliance of the Dark. I.aM.mE, a dance crew from Houston, TX who won season six of America's Best Dance Crew, makes an appearance in season three as the Reanimators.[32] Ceasare "Tight Eyez" Willis, the creator of the dance style krumping, also appears in season three[32] as the character of Style Ripper, one of the LXD Elders. Season three premiered on August 11, 2011 with two chapters: "The Extraordinary 7" and "Ashes". With the exception of September 1, the rest of the chapters in the season were released weekly on Thursdays.
ReceptionThe LXD is the most viewed original web series on Hulu.[33] AdvertisingAge.com gave the series a favorable review stating "...each episode of 'LXD' packs a wealth of narrative sophistication into its eight or nine minutes. Combine this with the theater-worthy production values and a cast that exerts itself to an ungodly extent, and the end result is—pun time!—extraordinary."[34] Mashable.com called the series "...a game-changer in the way that web series—and the arts—are presented online. Oh yeah, and it’s stunning."[35] In its review of season one, PentacleBlogs.org praised the dancing but felt the acting was weak: "At best this Hollywood narrative approach makes The LXD series seem a bit clunky and cheesy, and at worse it detracts from the enjoyment of truly great dancing."[36]After their performance at TED 2010, The LXD received the longest standing ovation in TED history.[37] In November 2010, The LXD won a Media Vanguard Award for "Best Original Web Series."[38] In January 2011, the series won a Digital Luminary Award in the "Original Web Content" category.[39] In February 2011, it was announced that Jon Chu would win the Pioneer Award at the International Digital Emmy Awards for the series.[40] At the announcement, IATAS President and CEO, Bruce Paisner remarked "Jon M. Chu is one of the most up & coming directing talents of our time and we look forward to honoring him for his innovative contributions to the field of digital entertainment with our Pioneer Prize."[40] Live performancesThe LXD has performed live for YouTube Live '08[41] and for the TBS Ellen DeGeneres special Ellen's Even Bigger Really Big Show at Caesar's Palace.[42] In May 2010, they were the opening act for the Glee Live! tour.[43] They performed by invitation[3] on season six of So You Think You Can Dance, the 2010 TED conference,[44] and the 82nd Academy Awards.[45][2] In October 2010, the LXD performed at YouTube Play in New York.[46] In December 2010, they performed on the Conan show.[47] In 2011, they joined the cast of Glee again on their second international tour.[48]Footnotes1. ^{{cite news |last=Bloom |first=Julie |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/25/arts/dance/25webdance.html?_r=1 |title=It’s a Bird!
