 20 years after making super baggy pants trendy, MC Hammer is virtually non-existent in the music world, but he plans to make a comeback in the business with his dance moves.
According to AndPop.com, Hammer has launched a new social network aimed at bringing together dancers called DanceJam.com.
"Dance itself is a social movement," he says. "We want to help facilitate and introduce local dances to a national audience.
"Dance is being defined from the streets right now. From a pop perspective, user generated dances are what is driving dance throughout the country," he continued.
So, everything from the Soulja Boy to Chicago's footworkin' movement can be shared on DanceJam.com. It allows its users to interact with other dance aficionados or upload and share videos of themselves displaying their moves. Users can engage in the usual social networking tools, watch tutorials by professional choreographers and be entertained by complete amateurs.
It will also feature a database of every high school and college in America allowing each school to represent itself with videos via cheerleading competitions or any other dance related activities.
Trying to find its share of the social networking market, Hammer's hopes are not to replace places like MySpace or Facebook, but rather garner the dance enthusiasts and lovers.
DanceJam.com is currently invite-only and at press time, there is no word when it will go live to the public. But once up and running, Hammer is confident it will see success.
"While the other social networks are really good at what they do, we hope DanceJam will be the go-to place that can push dance to another level. The dance community has been starving for this," he told AndPop.com.
