Avantgardey!

This video of Avantgardey performing at America's Got Talent went viral recently and it's easy to see why:

I absolutely love this performance on so many levels. The choreography is really unique, with innovative movements and body positions, flashy formations, and so many things going on that there always seems to be something new and interesting to see each time you focus on a different woman or a different part of the screen. Case in point: at 0:44, and it's quite easy to miss because of what's going on at the center of the stage that draws our attention, there are four women in the background who are each lifting another woman and spinning while they do. That's pretty awesome and showcases the strength of these amazing dancers! Also, their facial expressions are very quirky, making their performance even more entertaining to watch. Heck, even their stage entrance was unexpected and set the tone for the dance.

I've also been trying to figure out what the name of the song is that they dance to. It's a great song and their choreography works perfectly with it. If you know the title of the song, please leave a comment. 

ETA: I found out what the song is! It's Cinderella Honeymoon by Hiromi Iwasaki.
