Dance Jam puts the social community into dance…(you might even learn a dance move or two)

The concept was created by the famed singer and dancer/entertainer MC Hammer, and so DANCEJAM should be gold.

MC Hammer says the concept of the site is to “be a star or make a star”.

Dance Jam is one of my favourite social networks/community sites of the year so far. It may not be the prettiest to look at or have the best features, but in terms of pure entertainment it’s 5 star!

The primary idea behind Dance Jam is the BATTLE section, where dancers do their thing (shake it), and it’s up to you to decide who is top dog.

Check out a battle here:

The features:

All the usual stuff: upload videos, leave comments, search by video type, share via email, but there is one feature I particularly like which works really well for this site . It’s the ability to play the video in slow motion - so if you see a killer move you like you can break it down and potentially learn it!

Dance Jam as a knowledge base:

The Dance Jam site has an educational element too. For instance, there is a video called A Snake in the grass which is suposidaly where Michael Jackson got his influences from. Check it out - you won’t believe the similarities!

Right that’s it from me. I’m off to try a moon talk…I mean walk!
