During the swing and lindy hop revival of the 1990’s, musicians turned to talented dancers and performers to bring their music videos to life.  Today, musicians are again turning to the Orange County and Southern California dancers to add athletic, dynamic movement into their videos.  This week we’d like to honor many of the amazing Atomic dancers featured on the small screen – particularly The Atomic Ballroom owners Shesha and Nikki Marvin.
