Lang Lang - Chopin do Dubstep with dancer Marquese "Nonstop" Scott

Dancing competitions on television are quite popular right now.  One of my guilty pleasures is So You Think You Can Dance, which has introduced me to styles I have never seen, danced by people I would never believe could dance them, and movements I never thought possible by a human being. Locking, Popping, Bboy, Dubstep...are terms not usually associated with Frédéric Chopin.  However, pianist Lang Lang and Dubstep dancer Marquese "Nonstop" Scott blended them beautifully in a promotional video for Lang Lang's newest recording, The Chopin Album. One can only hope that Scott tours with Lang Lang and that the two will decide to create a full-length video to explore the choreographic possibilities.
