...single biggest influence on dancing in today's videos is Michael Jackson. Most clips follow the format he perfected in his epic 1983 video Thriller: a single dancer out front, with a phalanx of dancers in the rear echoing his steps. Still, Landon, Henson and Robinson have all conjured up moments of vibrant originality. Henson's work tends to be punchy and blunt, Landon's playfully carnal, Robinson's fluidly urban.

We love our GBMCs and buy their stocks all the time...
...even if they're the shrimpiest kid in school. Tell them not to cry, not to cave, not to show their weakness. A kid who is proud of herself does not present a very tempting target to a bully. Your kid might not be lucky enough to have a phalanx of older sisters protecting her in the hallway, as I did, but she should always...
