The Mix It Up Dance Contest
Eligible contestants submit one-minute dance videos for a chance to gain votes from their peers and the final blessing of a celebrity judge panel, which includes Grammy award winning hip hop artist Chamillionaire. Whether freestyle or choreographed, all dancers are welcomed.
To participate in the Mix It Up Dance Contest, contestants download music from http://www.mixdancecontest.com and are encouraged to mix and edit the tracks. Along with a broad range of thumping hip-hop tracks, the music choices include a bit of swing, country and classic rock to genuinely "mix it up." Then, the dancers capture their moves on a 60 second video and post it on-line at the Mix It Up website for the public to vote on their favorites.
"Altec Lansing makes products for people who love music," said Bernice Cramer, VP of Marketing and Product Development, Altec Lansing. "What better way to share this love than through the power of dance? We're thrilled to have our new MIX speaker system play a part in this contest that celebrates the roots of street dance and the retro boombox."
Altec Lansing engaged with Clay Hebert, Chief Engagement Officer of Tribes Win, a New York-based social media marketing agency, to design the contest. "The Mix isn't a product you use by yourself. It begs for a party and dancing, so a fun video dance contest is the perfect way to engage customers with the product and the brand," Hebert said.
