Gotta get up and try.

"Movement has always been a necessary part of my life...like breathing or eating.  Movement, at my very core, is an external expression of all that I think, dream, and imagine.  I remember being a young child, and how I was always happiest when dancing.  Even in car rides, or at school, I would dance a complete piece of choreography with my fingers, and still get similar satisfaction.  And now as an adult, movement is vital to connect with my creative consciousness.  I'm always amazed with the high frequency bliss that results from even a few minutes of moving about.  Of course, being an artist, if the movement does not feel right, it can also put you in the worst of moods.  What i've learned in my experiences so far as a student, professional dancer, and choreographer, is to really trust in the movement that is created by one's self.  That is truly a part of being in flow.  That is also a huge part of experiencing the gift of movement that is uniquely yours." - Nick Florez 

Nick Florez has been working with pop star Pink on her new video "Try". BreakOut cannot express how excited and proud we are for Nick's latest accomplishments and honored to have him tied into our BreakOut Studios community. We wish him the best of luck with his new journey. Check out the amazing choreography done by Nick in the video below. Life Moves .. Move with it. 

Simple & Brilliant Videos: Matt and Kim

by Jolie Roberson

Matt and Kim just released a new video for their song "Let's Go" that features the skills of Pat the Roc, "the world's greatest ball-handler."

They won an MTV Video Award for their simple strip and stroll video through Times Square for the song "Lessons Learned."

I have to say, as impressed as I am by the courage it takes to strip through Times Square, the video for "Daylight" is my favorite.  It's just so charming!

The Missing Parts

Facebook Page | Website

The Missing Parts are an acoustic instrumental quartet featuring violin, lap-steel guitar, cello, and guitar. Written collaboratively, the songs journey through an odyssey of dreamscapes, always arcing back and forth from the source: One Madly Dreaming Mind. Their influences are literally all over the map: tango, Roma, Turkish, a wide range of classical composers and styles, folk music from old time to new-grass, and too many more influences to list without sounding like a world music textbook. They particularly like soulful instrumental music (and, hence, the movie scores of Rota, Morricone, Hermann (Bernard, not Pee Wee), and to a lesser extent Badalmanti). The Missing Parts feature Oliver Blaylock on violin, Douglas Francisco on lap steel, Brian Hullfish on cello, and Paul Wright on guitar and percussion.
