Target Dance Commercial

I like this commercial. It’s funky. It’s fresh.

Haagen-Dazs’ Help the Honey Bees campaign

Haagen Dazs is doing an interesting campaign to help save honey bees and spread awareness.  Bee pollination is apparently a key ingredient for most of their ice cream flavors.  Anyway, the reason I found it was because of this funny video and the Bee Boy Dance Crew.

It is a fact of nature: When a honey bee returns to the hive after finding a good source of nectar, it will perform a unique dance for its hive mates, detailing the distance, quality and quantity of the new food supply.

Sadly, honey bees are mysteriously vanishing in staggering numbers - a crisis known as Colony Collapse disorder - which is alarming considering honey bees are responsible for pollinating one-third of our natural food supply.

Where in the world is Matt?

Since we are on the subject of Dance…i figured i’d add one more to the mix:  Matt Harding traveled the world and started a tourist dancing-movement. He does the same move over and over and he has absolutely no rhythm.  But it’s still awesome.  14 months in the making, 42 countries, and a cast of thousands.

Bleeding Love (So You Think You Can Dance)

Rachel and I are thinking of learning this routine for fun.  It’s an amazing lyrical hip hop piece.  It’s about a guy going off to work.  I really enjoyed it.  One of my favorite pieces so far this year.  By the way, that girl is from Orem, Utah. Jump to 2 minutes and 45 seconds into it to see the routine.

Let’s see how long this clip lasts on Youtube before Fox asks them to take it down.  Don’t be surprised if it says “no longer available” when you try to play it.
