Dance it out: 6 videos and quotes to get you grooving

Some Fridays we just want to pump up the volume and dance like no one is watching. Other Fridays, we just want to watch someone else (someone with dope skills) dance like no one is watching. For all of you who are having the second kind of Friday, here are some of our favorite YouTube dance videos. (Don’t worry, they know we’re watching and they’re totally cool with it.)

Whether your dancing happens on stage, at the club, or in the shower, enjoy every moment. And if some vertical dancing could get horizontal, make sure your birth control is covered.
