Million Views Monday (well, almost). Here’s three of our most popular YouTube videos. Wanna see them in full and help them hit a million? Link in bio! L-R: • @officiallestwins going ham. We bumped that Trendsetter song SO MUCH after this • Storyboard P dancing to When Doves Cry - we filmed this with nothing but a theatre light and a camera. It was the only video on YouTube that the Prince Estate didn’t block, so loads of people watched and views shot up! It does play at normal speed on YouTube - we just slowed it down so Instagram doesn’t block it - but the movement is still as... magnetic! • @kenichi_ebina_ebiken - after he took this concept to America’s Got Talent... and went on to win! #breakinconvention #sadlerswells #lestwins #lestwinson #lestwinsoff #offlestwins #lestwinsfam #prince #storyboardp #americasgottalent #agt #danceish #kenichiebina #ebiken #hiphopdance #hiphopdancefestival #streetdance #choreography #worldofdance #youtube
