James Brown shows you how to dance

I stumbled upon this on LiveLeak. James has some amazing moves, and it's great to see all the dances whose names I've heard of but never knew what they were. And how about that outfit? This clip is definitely worth downloading and framing through for animation reference. Watch how he bows his knees out to change the shape of his silhouette and create graphic squash and stretch! Hit me!
