Every so often, we see a performance that we can’t get out of our minds.
We all know the feeling—it’s a performance so great that it keeps popping into our heads again and again, and we keep being dazzled by it. Fortunately, we have another one of those videos for you today.
Even in 2020, this eight-year-old video still keeps getting a large number of views.
Marquese Scott uploaded the video on YouTube eight years ago and got an insane 141 million views. This video was the one that skyrocketed his career up as it grabbed the media’s attention.
Since posting the video online, Scott even got to stand on the stages of famous TV shows like The Ellen DeGeneres Show. He has even been recognized at some award-winning events.
Though it all makes sense once you see this dubstep dancer’s mindboggling moves.
Dubstepping is a dance style where you animate your body using unusual movements. There are basic moves to incorporate into this kind of dance called waving, gliding, tutting, and popping.
In this clip, there’s no special editing and no fancy camera tricks.
In Scott’s case, what you see is what you get—but his dance moves still make it hard to believe. In this clip, Scott performs a dubstep dance over Foster the People’s “Pumped Up Kicks” remixed by Butch Clancy. It begins with Scott sitting in the midst of normal scenery. But when the song finally starts, he immediately stands up and pulls off some incredible dance moves.
From robotic shifts to time-glitching movements, Scott makes everything seem so casual. His body accurately corresponds to the complex beat of the song.
His graceful movements were unbelievably complicated but also satisfying to watch.
He performed a series of fluid motions that made it look like there was a time-lag happening. Beyond the four-minute mark of the video, he gradually backtracks and patches things up by sitting back on the bench.
His passion for dancing is an inspiration to many others.
American dubstep and hip-hop dancer Scott became famous for his YouTube videos and his music videos. His YouTube was formerly known as WHZGUD2 a couple of years ago.
Since then, Scott has earned a total of 2.39 million subscribers with his almost 350 uploaded videos.
In all, his videos have amassed an estimated 464 million views—still, every success story has its own humble beginnings. Scott started small and later developed an interest in dancing after witnessing a small, unofficial dance contest at a roller-skating rink. He then joined a dance club when he was in high school.
Afterward, he joined the military. Still, when he moved out to serve in the military, he still practiced dancing during his free time.
His dedication to dancing got him to where he is now.
From creating small clips and uploading them on YouTube to competing on impressive stages like America’s Got Talent, this guy showed the world his wonderful talent and has spread huge influence to young upstart dancers all around the world.
As it turns out, this kind of undying passion is a feat that eventually becomes a key to success.
The thought of never giving up no matter what and persevering to find the time to practice more is an awe-inspiring story.
With that in mind, we can’t think of a better story than Marquese Scott’s!
