Little Ditty to Share

I wrote a little while ago about how His Honor and I bonded over the show America's Best Dance Crew. In particular, we both became fans of the eventual winners, The Jabbawockeez. I know His Honor doesn't really understand the subtleties of dance, but all I know is that both of us could watch re-runs of the show when Jabba came on.

I found the following performance of theirs on Kelly & Regis. It's their encore The Red Pill dance that pays tribute to Gee-One, but here you can see it without all of the herky-jerky camera angles that made watching ABDC so difficult:

I love that they choreograph to all of the music, and not just the beats. To me, that is important because you're not just hitting counts, but you are mirroring the violins, the piano, etc. To me, that's the essence of dancing, and probably one reason why they got enough votes from across the country. We miss seeing them grace our TV screen.
