This is an oldie, but a goodie. Came across it randomly on YouTube and thought it should be shared.
“Post hip-hop troubadour RJD2 teamed with dance and media artist Bill Shannon for the ‘Work It Out’ video. Shannon, born with a degenerative hip condition, developed a way to express himself through dance (and even skateboarding) on crutches. Director Joey Garfield took to the streets of New York and captured one continuous shot of Shannon, injecting RJD2 into random roles throughout the video.”

This video clip is inspiring, uplifting, quirky and impressive all at the same time. RJD2‘s tunes are also killer – look him up if you aren’t already a fan. Not trying to sound like an asshole but, disabled dudes dancing? that’s damn cool.
