I like how Emmet quotes Simone in the beginning, Jitterbug Waltz during his solo, and quotes Blues on the Corner on See Sea Rider! I also love Ekep, grateful to have worked with her over the years! Kyle and Yasushi are of course world class as well!

Man this had to be my favorite from the set, yasushi locking down the swing, ekep absolutely serving the lyrics, and that jitterbug quote into kyle's catch, too lit!! my head is BOPPIN
