Video Contest/Audition: Chilli Seeks 'Dumb, Dumb, Dumb' Dancers
TLC's Chilli launches dance contest to celebrate new single and solo project.
TLC's Chilli returns with a new solo act, a hot new single, and a new promotional dance campaign. The "sexy" third of TLC's crazy, sexy, cool girl trio has returned, with a new single "Dumb, Dumb, Dumb;" to the relief of many die hard TLC fans. To kick off promotions, Chilli is sponsoring a "Dumb, Dumb, Dumb" dance campaign that will grant several lucky fans the opportunity to perform live onstage with her in concert.
"I have always been big on performance. TLC was known for dancing and that's something that's really important to me," Chilli said during a recent interview with Rolling Out TV. "Dumb, Dumb, Dumb" is a club banger and we need a dance to go with the record. I can't wait to see what the fans are going to come up with." Contestants are asked to create a cutting edge dance routine to Chilli's brand new single "Dumb, Dumb, Dumb" and upload their video to youtube, then send the youtube link to chillisdancecontest@gmail.com. The hottest videos will be displayed on Chilli's myspace page at www.myspace.com/chillisdancecontest. Five winners will be chosen to perform live with Chilli during her upcoming summer promotional tour.
Two weeks ago Chilli premiered her new single, "Dumb, Dumb, Dumb" on Atlanta's V-103 alongside former group member T-Boz. The song gained favorable responses from music blogsites across the country. Written by hit songwriter Cri$tyle "the ink" and production team Battery 5, "Dumb, Dumb, Dumb" is an infectious R&B pop mix that translates effortlessly from radio to the club. "As soon as I heard the record I fell in love with it. It's like a 08 version of 'No Scrubs'," Chilli revealed. "But I don't want people to think it's a male bashing record. There are dumb females out there too."
Chilli's Dance Contest will kick off on Monday, April 28, all entries must be uploaded to youtube no later than Saturday, May 30th. Winners will be announced on Monday, June 2, 2008. For more information visit:

Carla Stalling Huntington's Hip Hop Dance: Meanings and Messages
Hip Hop Dance: Meanings and Messages - Carla Stalling Huntington
Just found out about Carla Stalling Huntington's Hip Hop Dance: Meanings and Messages so I haven't checked it out yet but it sounds pretty serious:
"Tracing the African American dance from the Diaspora to the dance floor, this book covers a social history germane not only to the African American experience, but also to the global experience of laborers who learn lessons from hip hop dance. Examining hip hop dance as text, as commentary, and as a function of identity construction within the confines of consumerism, the book draws on popular cultural images from films, commercials, and dance studios. A bibliography, discography, and filmography are included."
Carla Stalling Huntington is described as a "marketing and management professor" who "lives and works in southwestern Missouri."
