Raw Art: Yu+ Na

Wait for it to warm up. Then be impressed. From the same people that put together this shining masterpiece that makes me want to tie strings to my hoops just to cheat a little bit. Seriously I know I have my James Lipton voice rocking again but Raw Art = holycraptastic yespants.

Ellen Kim Rocks Hammer Pants

and that's something not even MC Hammer could do.

The precision and emotion in her movement is ridiculously captivating. She makes me want to get up and dance. That's true inspiration. When I see something and think I. must.  do. that. right. now. 

Ah-mazing. 

...and seriously... I almost wanna get those pants now. Almost.

No, YO Mama

The movement, the socks, the weird bike shorts?

I can't pinpoint what it is that I love about this, but I know I love it

Burst of Passion

Les Twins

Hmmm guess class is over. We'll just go ahead and pack up. OH WAIT. LET ME JUST BREAKOUT SOME AMAZING DANCE MOVES BEFORE WE HEAD OUT.

These two are quickly becoming my favorite dancers. I love the interaction they have with each other - egging each other on and trying to one-up each other every time. (Ah, I know it well.) Sick, sick, sick. 

Watching dancers like this has made me use the word "sick" with alarming regularity. I approve.

I am so happy to get to see her in motion after finding these beautiful pics of her awhile ago. 

Oh my, my. Oh hell yes. Gotta put on that party dress

Who else is with me in wanting that giant Cinderella dress?

Best Dancing I've Seen All Year

I'd hang out with these guys

Body as a Flower

Wait for It

About 25 seconds in, I was like - WHOA this guy is for real. But, I won't lie - he sorta loses me when the robot bit started. It made me think (oh-so-fondly) of this:

The Body Was Made To

Dance.

WHAT IS HAPPENING? So Amazing I Feel Like My Brain is Melting

Which, is a compliment I assure you.



HOW? HOW PEOPLE? Replay, replay, replay.
