Homework
Watch this and try and steal a move or two. The dancers, Mikey Pedroza and Pamela Gaizutyte are sure to put a smile on your face. I love her polished, carefree ease. There is a surprise ending that leaves even the dancers smiling. 
Lastly, if you really liked the music, check out Louis Armstrong , his trumpet is a joy to dance too

Favorite music
