I like the sister trio from the Netherlands: Let It Happen.
I also like Jeny Bsg from Paris. She often dances as a duo with Anae. Even though this video I'm posting isn't really typical, I'm posting it cuz it just caught me today. Mostly, they do a style of African dance , which I don't know the name of. I like how there's a group of dancers and they take turns doing a short routine. Each dancer has their own style, so that each time the music replays, you see something different and yet the same.
Do you have any favorites that you look for?

That was wonderful thank you for sharing. Everybody had such a great chemistry dancing together. I miss that.
I don't have any favorites I just watch videos and if what I see makes me happy and I see myself in them or see myself wanting to have as much fun as the people in the video are having, then that is a favorite thing of mine.
 
JENY and Anae - Fally Ipupa
Above link was broken... so
jeny bsg challenge bloque de fally ipupa clips officiel

Bloque is the name of the song. The artist is Fally Ipupa, from the Democratic Republic of Congo
Here's his wikipedia entry:

Here's a partial translation into English of the words to the song.
Bloque lyrics in English

The above link isn’t working, so here, another try:

Fally Ipupa - Bloque`(English Lyrics) [OCCY VID_WIZARD;5.14.24]

Being me, I came up with a political interpretation but, looking up the names (until I tired of doing it) l, the people are all footballers of African descent. I don’t know what it’s about, really.

It's kind of embarrassing liking skating so much but really I like only certain skaters and these two are electric and just keep getting better. This is a duplicate of the routine in the previous post but it's done by an innovative videographer who takes the viewer right into the experience to the point that you can hear the blades cutting into the ice. I love the setting, too, outdoors in the middle of Manhattan, NYC.

This year they have two new routines, one to James Brown. At first, I wasn't sure that the smooth, fluid nature of skating could capture the feel of soul / funk. But I've watched the routine several times and I like it better and better. These two skaters always pick fun music and take on the unexpected. The second one is to The Who.
