“They all brought this crazy energy to each shoot – energy that I get inspired by they’re the most incredible talents on the planet,” Derulo said. A lot of the dance and movement is intricate and showcases the talent that was pulled together for this – from Lay and NCT 127 to the amazing dancers.” The intricacies come from the dancers who were choreographed by veteran Danielle Polanco and span across the globe. It encompasses sweeping locations from dark alleys to lush international locales, evokes the mood of “Black or White,” “BAD” and even “Smooth Criminal” and yet, those that have never seen those iconic Jackson works will still see innovative, infectious choreography to a song that has the same rhythmic sensibility and artistry that Jackson demanded.Ĭreated as a short film, Derulo said, “I want people to get up and dance when they see this video. The video for “Let’s Shut Up And Dance” was produced by FREENJOY, directed by Daniel Russell, choreographed by Danielle Polanco with assistant choreographers Jeremy Strong, Andrew Carter, with featured dancing by Derulo, Lay and NCT 127.
