Ghostbusters (No Small Children version)

I came across this short, dancey version of the Ghostbusters theme on the Internet. There is an interesting rhythm involving superimposing a 3+3+3+3+4 over the underlying 4/4; this translates into a hoppy dance move. Here is the music video, since I'm choreographing it, there is no dance video.

The music is by a group called No Small Children, an all-woman group from LA whose members are all schoolteachers by day, none of whom have small children.

Uptown Funk

There are many exerdance versions of this very popular song, but most of them didn't resonate with me. This one did. It's by a fitness choreographer/teacher up in Ottawa, Ontario.

Although I think it looks good just on the two dancers in the video, I think it will look really good with more dancers.

Happy

This is an unusual choreography to this song, but I like it the best of all the ones I looked at, in spite of what looks like an extraordinarily bad haircut on the choreographer/dancer. I really like the way she uses the head, arms, and trunk: the feet are almost an afterthought.

I also like it that the choreography is actually very simple and repetitive, yet to my eyes is never boring.

I'm in control

I'm considering this one. I like some of the fast foot movements and swivels. I think this one will have some difficulties. However, I like how it looks.

I particularly like the use of swivel turns + jump to 2nd.

I don't like it, I love it

There a quite a few versions of this on Youtube. This is the one I like the best, by Shine Dance Fitness.

One of the interesting things about this is that the person who choreographed it also posted a tutorial clip of it. Hopefully, this will make it much easier to learn off the video.

I wish there was something like this for all the exercise dance videos on Youtube!

Emotions

This has some particularly good elements in it. For one thing, it emphasizes loosening the hips quite a  bit. The music has a strong rhythm and the choreography uses that fully. There is also a 32-count improv segment. Basically, I think this will be really fun to dance.

I have this pretty much learned.

One More Sleep (to learn after Thanksgiving)

Normally, I avoid seasonal music, since it's...seasonal. I usually like learning things you can dance all year, which is most music. However, I really like this choreography, and it doesn't look too difficult. So, I'm posting it here so I don't forget to start learning it this Fall.

We probably won't use the part where they bring in a Christmas tree.
