Whoever choreographed this needs an award

[joolaycho]

Jesus christ the strength and athleticism that must take...

[SeanMates]

The thing I love about Contemporary Dance (perhaps dance in general) when it is done like this is that it is a reflection of pure trust and expression. These two I actually believe are acting out James' lyrics in a living story. That is perhaps the best compliment I can give to the choreography and the dancers. I keep coming back to watch it again xo.

[nochuchuu]

I want to learn this but I can barley get up out of bed to use the freaking bathroom LMAO

[farheenahmed]

Can't get over the part at 2:40 when she points finger his way but he shoves it towards her and the blow she felt after it. Her expressions at 2:28 were so powerful. Also the way he broke away when she clung to his leg.

[motivatemyself]

That was one the most intricate and beautiful manifestations of dance as an art form

[yajairagodinez]

The emotion. The execution. This made me so emotional. I love this choreography so much!
