"Best For Last" / Dance Film by Keone & Mari

- Yesterday we celebrated 9 years of marriage. Holy smokes last one before a decade. Marriage is both so wonderful and so tough. Highs and lows, and many things in between. It’s something you have to choose every day, and not just the day you say “I do.” And we’re happy to choose each other, especially during the tough times.
This piece is something we made a few years ago and never got around to filming. We finally did, and both agree it is quite the microcosm of our marriage - bickering turned to fights turned to figuring it out - in dance form. Enjoy the quibbling dance moves!

This family(because I count their baby Numah) is such a blessing not just in the dance nation but in the whole world!!
This was so sweet and truthful. Relationships are hard. A lot of the time, two people can’t see eye to eye. But even so, they still choose to love each other. That little poke at 5:15 was legit me haha!
And the look on her face when she poked him!!
You guys never fail to make me cry and send goosebumps all over...always lifting me up into another part of the universe. Each and every move made with your bodies, speak the words that could never roll off of your tongues. Not to mention, you always tell a story I can relate to and feel in the depths of my soul. Congratulations on your last 9 years of marriage and the many that are to come. Keone and Mari, your union is a blessing to not only each other but to this world.
From 4:29, my eyes started tearing up. WOW! I felt that so much, thinking of me and my wife's ups and downs. Maaan... you guys are amazing, as always!
I love how they're taking dance to another level
One thing immediately comes to mind, the number you did on World of Dance, which was a relationship themed dance piece where you were both tethered by a piece of elastic. It started it out agressive as both of you were arguing and at the end, and the elastic was binding that anger together, and finally at the end you both ripped it off. I love that one. And this is even better.
The Art Of story Telling through dance. Keone And Mari does it once again.
#winning in life; when you choose your BESTfriend and destiny connector as a life partner, your love will LAST.
😭😫 speak that truth 🙌🏻❣️❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Lol. I love these two. They tell the most beautiful stories through dance.
This whole routine was mesmerizing. I loved the use of the camera spinning around and stopping at the right angles. I’m still shook when I see 2:50 though like whaaaat?? That was pretty cool and unexpected. I liked 3:32 when Keone and Mari took turns doing the choreography for the chorus like that was smooth.
This duo is literally the GOAT when it comes to conceptual love choreographies. Their style has been the basis for most hiphop and contempo fusion dances and they are so underrated. ❤️
I always hit the like button on their videos before it even starts! That's how much I love what they do!
wow...so much told and to be told in one video.
you can see keone's and mari's perspective is told in the first two verses, the way their bickering is a reflection of each person's obstinacy and ignorance of the other person's feelings, which culminates into an explosive fight in the bridge where they're to chose between themselves or the other person. And it ends with them choosing the latter. so concisely and beautifully told, thank you for sharing this with the world!
Dance that turned into real life, how genius are you guys? 😭❤️
Grabeeeee 😭💯
@@pat3shanicole tayo rin soon! ❤️
The control in the lift at 2:48 🤯🤯🤯
My goodness 🥺🥺🥺 now that’s what I call storytell in art. Beautiful. Reminded me of my relationship. We might fight and get bitter at each other but at the end of the day we love each other. Had the feels! 😭🤘🏽
Thank you for the acting, thank you for the song choice, thank you for the choreo, creativity and thank you for all the aspects/details I will start to grasp after rewatching this in the future. 🔥✌
Thank you guys for always sharing your story. You not only inspire, but you're healing. I am sure there's a couple out there that's going through the same thing. Thank you for the work you've always contributed to in society. Thank you for the lessons you've always taught us in your pieces. I am grateful. God continue using you and blessing you. Thanks. 🙏🤗🙏
Congrats you two! I've been a marriage counselor for 40 years (married that long as well :-) I absolutely love your dances. The flair, movement, synchronization, joy, and heart. Beautiful! You put "the two becoming one" in motion. Cheers to many more years!
You guys are such amazing story tellers
So true🤝
Watching these two dance just puts a smile on my face every time
When you find a love like this never loose it.
The level of trust in the partner to be exactly in place is amazing. There is no hesitation, just full commitment. 💕
I was thinking the same thing- there has to be a ton of trust- it’s like martial arts. Just beautiful!
Happy anniversary and another top notch, heartfelt piece of dancing. Thank you for sharing your gifts to the world. Hugs from London :-)
They done it again kudos to this couple
Do you ever see a couple who has so clearly found their soul mate, cuz these two were made for each other
One of my fav dances from these two!!!
oh wow. "STORYMOVERS" IS SPOT-ON! I'm laughing, crying, saying aww out loud, too. You guys are beyond clever, talented, creative genius with form and function that defies imagination...until you two do it, and make it look so natural. Wow'd- again.
There are just SO many subtle and genuinely feeling storylines complimenting the song in the choreography its absolutely amazing, you HAVE to watch it multiple times to catch all the sequences. Love it!
They made,,,One Of The Best In All❣️🥳 Wonderful For The Keone & Marie
This is like counseling in art form!! SO GOOD!
Ya'll are relationship goals. I don't want one that doesn't involve this level of choreography lol. But seriously, congratulations and thank you for sharing your life so beautifully with us.
When watching you guys I heard, Prophets of Dance. You truly are His mouthpiece. Your movements, reach, expressions are seeds sown.
Just lovely to see the emotions in dance. Thank you and congratulations. Marriage is hard work but worth the effort. My husband is dead now. Treasure every moment.
I'm so glad to see my homie Kai Goh get to work wit Keone and Mari!

Keone and Mari always show me something I’ve never seen before
Really... who has paid you? what was the new innovation this time? the green shoes with a brown pants? because I feel that it's the same as always, I think that they are bored of their own movement...
