Beat Freaks Interview: importance of being a good global citizen

During our interview with Beat Freaks, they answered a question being posed by Project Explorer, a charity that produces FREE educational programming on other countries (so far, they've done programming in South Africa, England, and Jordan that you can access at ProjectExplorer.org). Listen up -- one of the things that most impresses me about Beat Freaks (besides their mad skills) is how they are using their fame and attention to help others.

Quest Workshop Part I: Warmup, rules, and demonstration

Here's Dominic summarizing the workshop rules:

And here's a dance demonstration before the choreography session of the workshop. I think Dtrix wore a mask to make fun of the panic about swine flu. But, then again it's Dtrix, so who knows? And, yes, he gave JabbaWockeeZ full credit for the routine.

America's Best Dance Crew Goes to Court - Soul Sector vs. MTV and others

The full story:Kevin Barairo (aka Mikey Disco) founded Soul Sector back in 1998 -- a name he says he's trademarked. Among other identifying factors, Barairo claims to have developed a red letterman jacket for his crew, with "SS" on the breast. Barairo claims that one of his former Soul Sector dancers, Christopher Jennings, borrowed Soul Sector's jackets, formed Supreme Soul, and then appeared on America's Best Dance Crew. On the show, Supreme Soul spoke about winning a dance battle against JabbaWockeeZ, which was a Soul Sector achievement but not one for the Supreme Soul crew.

"The suit alleges the show's producers attempted to pressure Barairo to sign over his rights to the name and appearance of his dance crew. When he would not sign, Barairo claims the show responded by having [Supreme Soul] dancers appear in their distinctive jackets" -- but altered the jacket back to remove the Sector logo.

Barairo claims that the actions by MTV and others hurt the reputation of Soul Sector and reduced their merchandise sales and performance bookings. He wants compensation for the loss of "business reputation, customers, market position, confusion of potential customers, and good will."
