Video: Jun Quemado (Mos Wanted Crew) choreography - "Scream"

Jun Quemado is one of many superb choreographer/dancers in Mos Wanted Crew (ABDC Season 7), but seems to get less press and attention than the others. Time to rectify that oversight -- watch this routine choreographed by Jun to Usher's "Scream". On MrJunQuemado Youtube.
