Internet Made the Video Star

In the 1980’s “video killed the radio star” in the 2000’s, the internet is creating video stars and radically altering how we train, teach and watch dance. Today’s episode focuses on YouTube as a platform and the wave of class videos that has been definitive of dance culture in the 2000’s. Social dances used to be shared and developed in person, but now social dance and social media are symbiotic. We talk about what characterizes these specific class videos, who are the people behind and in front of the camera, and how the production and sharing of class videos like this has forever altered our expectations of dance training and video production. -- Topic Films Millenium Dance Complex Channel Tim Milgram Channel Kyle Hanagami Channel Galen Hooks Channel Keone & Mari Channel DanceOn Channel Urban Dance Camp Channel Movement Lifestyle Channel Further Reading Dance Spirit: Ian Eastwood versus Class Videos Vogue: Dance Dance Revolution Dance Informa: “What’s Wrong with Dancing Sexy” feat YPAD -- Announcements Screenings Leeds Screendance Competition Nov. 3 - 19 Online -- Submissions InShadow Lisbon Screendance Festival Open Call - Early Submissions -- Pick of the Week Taxi!
