Dance nowadays is all about the show. Whether it's a series of 15 backflips or so many turns that a dreidel would get dizzy, dancers try so hard to outdo their competition. I get that. It's a rough and competitive world out there. You've gotta grab the spotlight. However, I seem to appreciate and notice when a dancer shows me more by doing less. If you can impress an ABDC judge with your ability to capture said attention without the gimmicks, you're already at the top of my list.

It's the simple things...
This may be the one piece of choreography that never ceases to amaze me. It's not the most brilliant choreography or even the most flawless execution, but it has a certain je ne sais quoi that other dances lack. The simplicity in Ian's movement makes for the most complex and unique style to master. I was recently watching an episode of America's Best Dance Crew when my ears shot up like someone cried for help. A judge appreciating classic, simplistic choreography over outlandish performance? You've got my attention.
