I have a confession to make.
I spend countless hours in a week dancing by myself. I do this because something about certain music just forces my body to move. It can't be explained really. I'm the furthest thing from a choreographer but I do recognize what good dance looks like.
Being someone who enjoys the arts overall, I find that this video and this group of dancers, The Jabawockeez, encompass visual, physical and musical art forms in such a way that even to those who don't particularly appreciate the arts they see that this something special and all-in-all impressive.
I highly suggest watching this more than once to take in all the intricacies of the dance. Isolation hand movements, head movements, see what people in the back row are doing as well as those out front. All the smallest details contributed by each individual are what make the look and feel of this number so incredible.
Enjoy!

In 2012 The Jabawockeez were awarded with the Living Legends of Hip Hop award for their work and became the first dance crew to ever achieve this honour. The core group is made up of 8 individuals who collaborate on all the choreography, musical composition and any other aspect of their performances. Just another example of how minds working together can create and achieve much greater things than the mind of one individual alone.
Collaboration is the key to progress and progress leads to success.
