Bam Martin, The Most Underrated Dancer

People who watch Mos Wanted Crew dance are not giving enough recognition to one of its most underrated members, Bam Martin.  He is a professional hip-hop choreographer for a famous collegiate dance team known as GRV of Cal Poly Pamona. An interesting fact that most people do not know about Bam Martin is that he used to be a jazz dancer. Bam Martin is one of the most entertaining dancers of Mos Wanted Crew. His dancing always gets the crowd hyped and excited.
In his latest video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zXIDXuzpUg, Bam Martin dances with full on "swag". He dances to both the lyrics and the beats. The lyrics of the song are very aggressive, so the overall feeling you get when watching the video is hype and energetic. The way Bam Martin hears music is also amazing. He hits literally every beat of the song, all of the drum snares and small ticks. His musicality is not the only thing that's amazing about him. Bam Martin's facial expressions and body expressions are very professional and entertaining. When people dance, facial expressions are very important because it expresses your emotions when you dance. In the video, Bam Martin's facial expressions are angry, which fit the mood of the dance. In addition, his body movements have so much energy in them. He hits every single move extremely hard and defines his movements, especially at 0:26 to 0:30 in the video.

People are not giving Bam Martin enough credit for his works. Bam Martin is truly an amazing dancer and is very inspiring. Turning from a jazz dancer into a hip-hop dancer is no easy task. Check out more videos of Bam Martin on his youtube channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/brianBAMmartin
