Officialish Video for Alicia Keys-No One

Sometimes you have to dance like no one is watching. To Alicia Keys. In the ice and snow. On a dock. You may fall, but you must get up again. (SLYT, awesome, made my day)

Moves so sharp they could cut you.

Any dance analys would be consumed eagerly btw.

I mean, this whole hybrid style is amazing and 100% up my alley.

I feel like, as someone who knows less about dance than this may sound like, I'm seeing a little heel-toe action, efforts at an icy crypt walk, the running man, the liberal application of some headbanging, some top rocking, and a funky-chicken/harlem shake crossover there at the end.

We can identify the rest. ....... for science!!!

His choice of attire increases the delight factor for me. He looks like a cartoon character with those perfectly tapered funky legs kicking to and fro. Love it, thanks for sharing!

I was conceived there, so of course they do.

I submit to you that the gentleman in this video is dancing like he hopes everyone is watching.

Never thought the Melbourne shuffle would work with a slow jam but once again the internet proves me wrong.

I don't understand how yesterday, on dry concrete, I almost slipped and broke my neck, and that guys jumping around willy-nilly on icy slush.

So (at the risk of revealing myself a failure at being pop culture literate) is this the official video? Because I think it should be, I mean, I think it would be really great if it were. I understand if it isn't but you know, it should be. Because that's how I understand pop culture these days.

Techno Viking, the gauntlet has been thrown, sir!

Moral: everyone should dance more. Dancing is happy.

case in point: Jiggy 's video Dance of the Faeries matches their music with dance clips (with both amateur and pros) from all around the world. It's quite satisfying if you enjoy watching dancing.
