MySpace and Silverman create a jerkin' dance contest

MySpace and Ben Silverman and MySpace have teamed up to produce a web series dance contests. The series is called Jerk All-Stars. There will be ten dance crews all focusing on jerkin’. Jerkin' is a dance style marked by fast dancing and loose knees, similar to rap.

Ben has other online projects too. His production company Electus is working with Facebook and Subway on another contest, “High School Heros.” This contest program is for students who are inspired by teachers, other students, scholars, coaches and family members.
