Ill Moves: Hip Hop Dance

All World Dance Has Launched!

I've been saying All World Dance was about to launch since late last year.  Just took me a minute to get to it but it's here now!

It's a site focused on dance across genres and across national boundaries, though the U.S. will tend to dominate due to their media machinery.  But I'll keep working on expanding coverage.

Yes, there's hip hop dance but there's also coverage of ballet, modern dance, dance on tv, dance movies, dance games and all sorts of other stuff.

Check it out!

Ill Moves: Hip Hop Dance to Join All World Dance [NOT]

Though Ill Moves has been quiet for a minute, I've been gathering resources for a totally new site that will include an awesome new hip hop blog as part of its offerings:

All World Dance: For All Dancers

Launching soon!

Update: Looks like All World Dance is on hold so I think I'll start posting here again.

Hip Hop Research: Book List at 51 Academic Titles & Growing!

Hip Hop Research, a new blog from Clyde Smith devoted to documenting academic studies of hip hop, has reached 51 titles with more on the way.

Entries feature the book's cover art, when available, and basic links to WorldCat, a world library search engine, as well as options from Amazon and Google for checking out the book's content.

The long term goal is to use this book list as a basis for an annotated bibligraphy of academic studies of hip hop but it's pretty cool just to see what researchers have already accomplished in this area of study.

Please pass this news on to students, educators, researchers and folks who like to know what's up!

Introducing Ill Moves: Hip Hop Dance

Ill Moves is going to be an occasional blog where I can gather material related to hip hop dance from news links to YouTube videos.  In particular, I'll use it to post large groups of videos that don't fit at VidRap or cover more ground than needed at ProHipHop.

Clyde Smith is the "I" in the preceding paragraph. In addition to blogging at ProHipHop and Vidrap, among other such sites, Clyde also has a background in dance about which you can learn more at Cultural Research.
