I love the use of glow in the dark, light and reflection costume elements to communicate the futuristic vibe that Travis was going for. The costuming combined with the "fusion" of dance styles really brought a level of artistic integrity to what is otherwise a cheesy pop song. I am sure that dances to this song could be seen on several recital stages this year, but I doubt any of them looked like that. Without the futuristic concept, I am afraid that the slightly slower tempo of this song would have made this dance crash and burn.
If the dancers were not as talented, there is no way that they could have pulled this off. They did a great job exhibiting and communicating a level of energy that match the song's teeny bopper feel and didn't get lost in the slower tempo (for an upbeat number). Difficult thing to do.
