Happy New Year from BloggingBestDance!!!

We here at BloggingBestDance would like to wish everyone here a safe, healthy, and happy New Year!  This year was an amazing year in dance.  So many great productions from so many great artists.  And for the last post of 2013, I want to post three of my personal favorite productions from this year.  What were some of YOUR favorite routines????  Post them in the comments below.  Enjoy everybody and see ya in 2014!

Video: Harry Shum Jr. - "If You Are In A Shell..."

Sometimes, it's difficult to describe artwork with words.  Rather than trying to "sell" this video to you, just watch and think about it.  The choreography is by Harry Shum Jr.  From zefrank1 YouTube.

Video: Brandon '747' Harrell - "You Know I Got It" | I.aM.mE

From the description, it's been awhile since Brandon choreographed to a rap song.  Personally, I think he should do it more.  Here's Brandon with friends - Adrian Thomkins, Lando Coffy, Di "Moon" Zhang", and Emilio "Millie" Dosal - dancing to Jay-Z's "You Know I Got It" featuring Rick Ross.  From showoff747 YouTube.
