A few weeks ago, I read on Shoemoney about this new site called Dance Jam. It’s suppose to be this mix of YouTube and Dancing. Quite frankly I love the idea. It blends this idea of So you think you can Dance and brings it to the web.

To that end, Hammer teamed up with Geoffrey Arone, co-founder of alternative web browser maker Flock, to create a new website called DanceJam that will offer slow-motion tutorials and other dance-oriented frills in addition to all the usual social networking tools. [Source: Wired]

Dancing is a hobby that can really be utilized on the net. YouTube alone has already seen these kids from all over the world try to become dance superstars over the internet. There is one thing for certain with the internet, it gives everyone the ability to show their talents and give hopes to many that they can become a semi-super star.

Why am I talking about DanceJam so much? Well, dancing is one of my hobbies as well. So I will probably be one of the few people who jump in on this social media network catered toward dancing. Maybe someone can merge American Idol to the web. Have a KaraokeJam? of sorts? That would make a killing.

Here is one amazing clip from David Bernal. This clip actually made him famous and he started to land commercials and gigs all over the world. Enjoy.
