Judson Laipply’s first video ‘Evolution of Dance’ is, and was, one of the most viewed on YouTube and his second in the series, ‘Evolution of Dance: Part 2’, has already received over one million views since it was posted on January 9, 2009.
In the beginning of ‘Evolution of Dance: Part 2’, Laipply rocks with a ‘50s dance style to “I Feel Good.” He then proceeds to take us on a journey of popular dance styles from the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s (the “Electric Boogey"), and ‘90s until present.
Although Laipply shares his ‘Evolution of Dance’ series for free, you can help him donate to various charities if you purchase any product from his website; he gives an impressive 35% of his profits to worthy causes.
Let me tell you, whoever coined the phrase “White men don’t have rhythm” never knew about guys like Judson Laipply; he is a spectacular dancer with awesome moves!
