Research: 1million Studio

I dicovered 1 million studio not long ago when Major Lazer (the band whos song Im using|) released a new single and made a dance competition for it. Basically the idea was to submit videos of original choreo for the song and the winner would be featured in the video. Major Lazer shered some cool videos of the contestants on their site, so when I was looking them up I found this video-
I fell involve with the choreohraphy. It was loose where it needs to be and its on point with the beat but above all else the dancers look like their enjoying it. Not a major fan of the dab in the beginning but the little swooshing move at 0:22 made me replay it like 1million times. That movement when one foot is on its toes, the other one on its heel and they switch in between makes it look like they just glide through the dance floor.
After wards I was hooked so I looked up their other videos and I haven't found one I wouldn't like. You can tell that the dancer are insanely fit because it takes a lot of muscle power to lock something mid movement, not to mention some of the floor work I've seen in the other videos.
Another video I that really caught my eye was Gold.

At first I thought it was a bit too sexy and show girl like for my taste, but the more i looked at it, the more the dance seemed like some high fashion model poses from an editorial magazine. And the synch with the music is so tight and on point is like the song is piercing through the dancers. My favourite part for some reason was the little walk to the side move on 0.57, it just made the lyrics pop "without ever letting you know" like very syllabus of every word was a movement. 

Another video I was obsessed with for a but was Never Be Like You

To be completely honest, most of the reason I love it is because of the song. It has been one of my favourite tunes for a while and it never accrued to be you could actually dance to it. So it just straight a way hit a note with me. The choreo over all is nothing I haven't seen before just basic arm and leg popping and not much else but I guess the song does most of the work for me and makes me love the dance. I guess it's one of the cases where the music wears the dance not the other way around.
