Andrew Baterina, Private Dancer

Great news everyone. Andrew Baterina has returned, and this time he's hot. His new choreography to Private Dancer by Omarion is both smooth and sassy at the same time. In addition, there is partner section in the choreography that is assisted by Jackie Lautchang. This choreography in my opinion is one of the best of 2013. It covers many aspects of dance, which will be explained in detail.

Here's the link to his video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqHJm1D9uG8. What stood out most to me was the use of the entire group and formation changes. For example, from 0:16 to 0:18, Andrew Baterina in the center does his own move, while the entire group follows with a different move. There are multiple instances where the group executes different moves from Andrew, such as 0:24 to 0:27, and 0:40 to 0:47. The formation changes were flawless. My favorite was right after the dancers switched from their partner dance to the entire group, at 1:33 to 1:38. The first move at 1:36 really accents on the bass.

Overall, Andrew Baterina's new choreography is one of my favorites right now for 2013. Andrew has always been one of my biggest inspirations. He has choreographed for famous singers such as Jay Park from Korea. Andrew Baterina has been successful in his dancing career. Soreal studios in Houston, Texas was founded by Andrew Baterina. At Soreal studios, Andrew leads adult competition teams as well as junior competition teams.
