Get Down With DanceJam

MC Hammer, Geoffrey Arone and Anthony Young of Flock have launched a new video website specifically aimed at allowing viewers to share videos of themselves dancing. What is it called?

DanceJam. If you search for dancing videos on YouTube, you will see that there are  thousands of videos of people getting down. One of them is the popular comedian getting down to a variety of songs. Hammer, Arone and Young are looking into funneling some of that user energy into their site, DanceJam.

You just are not just dancing to entertain millions of people. Users will vote, and if you win, you will get prizes. What kind of prizes, I am not sure, but that is not bad at all.

“There will be many iFlip video camera winners. Upload a video of yourself doing your favorite dance. When we launch, users will vote, and the best dancers will get prizes and a shot at fame! So go ahead and start uploading videos.”

So will they be able to stay afloat in this growing digital media online world? I think so. They have already raised 1 million dollars in hopes of being the one stop place for your hippest dance routines. I’m not a dancer, so you won’t see my videos showing up on the site. Check it out. Watching people dance is a fun thing to do and I look forward to the site opening to the public.
