MUSIC VIDEO: Lindsey Stirling – “The Arena”

Lindsey Stirling‘s new album Brave Enough comes out on August 19th. She just released the music video for her latest single, “The Arena.” We love her violin playing, we love her dancing and we really love her doing both at the same time.

This video adds a new element with the addition of Emmy-winning professional dancer Derek Hough, who you may know from ABC’s Dancing With The Stars. They dance beautifully and powerfully together and now we kind of want Lindsey on DWTS. Check out the madness above!

MUSIC VIDEO: Mark Ballas – “Get My Name”

One of my favorite pro dancers on Dancing with the Stars, Mark Ballas has released the music video for his debut single, “Get My Name“. The video is directed by his best friend and fellow DWTS pro dancer, Derek Hough and features another DWTS alum, Witney Carson.

The style is retro with a modern twist, which can be said is Mark’s signature style. The song is incredibly catchy and is a great choice for a first single. The video matches the song perfectly and of course, it features a ton of incredible choreography. I mean, a Mark Ballas music video without dancing would be shameful. Clearly, he thought so too. Watch the newly released video above and see if that doesn’t get you moving!

Dancing with the Stars Pro, Mark Ballas Releases Debut Single

DWTS Pro, Mark Ballas performed his debut single “Get My Name” last night on Week 8 of the 2014 season of Dancing with the Stars. Verdict? It’s awesome!!! As one would expect it is quite the dance tune. It definitely has a retro feel, but is more reminiscent of what Robin Thicke and Pharrell have been putting out lately. Nice choice of influences to go for there. Watch the performance above and you’ll be rushing over to download it on iTunes.

Wait, so does this mean he will open for Derek and Julianne Hough on their Move Live on Tour?? Make it happen, guys!
