Just a few years ago, Will Willdabeast Adams was just another dancer with big dreams. Now, hes directing and performing alongside one of the greatest living athletes in the world.Youve likely seen one of his viral videos?or caught a glimpse of him dancing behind a few of your favorite recording artists at the Grammys or American Music Awards.A native of Indianapolis, Indiana, Adams took a leap a faith in 2009, and moved to Los Angeles in attempt to carve out a niche in the ever-competitive hip-hop dance industry.And as of this past Thursday, you saw him rocking out with none other than 22-time Grand Slam Winner Serena Williams in a Delta Airlines Open Dance one-minute long music video.When [Delta] called it was nuts. They mentioned Serena and the US Open. And we were like what the hell, this is crazy, Adams said.He started out as a touring dancer, and can now confidently say hes one of the nations most respected choreographers. To date, Adams, 27, has 1.7 million subscribers on his YouTube channel and has garnered more than 400 million views for instructional and performance videos combined.Along with partner and longtime girlfriend Janelle Ginestra, who has toured or worked with the likes of P!nk, Nicki Minaj and Jennifer Lopez, the duo has steadily built an international dance empire, which includes: a dance company (ImmaBEAST), apparel line, annual convention and soon, a digital media network called The Beast Network -- which will launch on Netflix and Roku, with streaming services commencing on Oct. 1.However, directing Serena? Hes still wondering if hell be awakened from this dream.It was very different because youre teaching somebody thats amazing at something, and we were kind of just like uh, youre a freak of nature in sports. And were telling YOU... what to do.The commercial was filmed after a single one-on-one session with Williams, then she practiced on her own, in between training, leading up to the shoot.She had one rehearsal with us, then showed up and had to kill it, said Adams, who was impressed with Williams ability to nail the choreography by film date. For those who think being a tennis icon automatically translates to a clean performance on the dance floor, Adams said think again.I would tell them, Imagine trying to go play tennis at the US Open against Serena hitting tennis balls at you at 120 miles per hour, Adams said chuckling.He also noted that he plans on doing more with Williams in the future through social media, and added that fellow tennis star and her sister -- Venus Williams also had interest in future collaborations.Adams career didnt always include directing major sports figures and appearing on stage at high-profile awards shows. When he first moved to LA, he found himself standing in line at 6 a.m. every morning in hopes of being selected as an extra for daytime television shows like Judge Judy and Dr. Phil.Adams earned $50 per day for his work as an extra, and would stand in line for consecutive days until he earned enough to pay his rent. With enough money saved during a single month, he would then attend a dance class in the city.Adams first big professional break came in 2010 when he won a contest to become a dancer on recording artist T-Pains world tour.It was cool to see what it was like to be in that life every day, said Adams, who toured with the R&B artist from 2010 to 2013. That [experience] changed me. I went from wanting to be a dancer, to knowing that I wanted to become a choreographer. I looked at myself and I said, I can do this. I could be one of the people who puts the dance together and be one of the people that comes up with the vision behind the set.While Adams enjoyed performing as a dancer for notable acts like Demi Lovato and Madonna, and on TV shows like The Voice, his focus is still on choreography.He also noted that the key to success in the competitive world of dance is finding balance between connecting with a mainstream audience -- which, performing on big stages like the Grammys allows him to do -- while also projecting a personal vision.Its ridiculously hard, Adams said of staying relevant in such a fast-paced industry. You have to stay connected to whats next but you also have to be true to yourself and thats the hardest balance. Doing what you love to do, but also remaining in the game.I think we deserve to be on red carpets and on award shows -- just as dancers and choreographers, Adams said. I think its great we are getting this attention via social media. And now we have the power to change things. We have the power in our own hands. Cheap NBA Jerseys .

Rinne played two periods in his first game since left hip surgery in early May. Gabriel Bourque scored 3:07 into the second period and Austin Watson tallied 5:15 later for Nashville. Surrey 252 (Burns 50, Patel 4-58) and 390 (Sangakkara 88, S Curran 62, Wright 4-75) beat Warwickshire 247 (Barker 62, S Curran 5-44) and 169 by 227 runsScorecardIan Bells accession to the Warwickshire captaincy was not meant to turn out like this. Instead of an anticipated title challenge, he is now haunted by vague fears of relegation, unthinkable in April. Instead of an inspired return to the England side, he has made no immediate comeback to a deeply unimpressive England middle order and is so consumed by the job he has taken on late in his career that the runs are not coming easily.The Warwickshire captaincy was a childhood dream for Bell ever since he sprinted onto the outfield at Lords to celebrate the countys 1993 NatWest Trophy win under the individualistic captaincy of Dermot Reeve. For a proven England player to return to the county ranks with ambitions so sharp, and good years still ahead, was something for Warwickshire to relish, but the job is proving an onerous one.Bell challenged Warwickshire to bat out the final day against Surrey - to chase 396 for victory, from 2 for 1 overnight, felt out of the question - but the day he called the biggest of the season fell Surreys way by 227 runs with 20 overs to spare. Surrey have passed Warwickshire in the table and have the look of an improving side with much to commend them. If either of the bottom two stir it is now Warwickshire and Durham who have most to fear.At least Bell conceded his own wicket in most honourable fashion during a compelling duel with Gareth Batty, finally unpicked at short leg after making 32 in two-and-a-quarter stubborn hours, survival his only undertaking. He managed a couple of peaceful off-side drives, but the overriding image was of Bell under attack from an angry seagull as Batty squawked, flapped and smiled his way through his overs, finding substantial bounce and turn from a wearing final-day surface. This was surely the best 2 for 27 of the season, earned by 21 antagonistic overs. This has also been another excellent Edgbaston pitch.Surreys spin pair, Batty and Zafar Ansari, are both being monitored as potential England tourists in India and Bangladesh and they make a contrasting pair, not just because of offspin and slow left arm but in personality. Ansari has a stately stroll and flick back of floppy hair that smacks of old-time pedigree whereas Batty is waspish and combative, every grin - and he grins often when he is on top - the possible precursor to something more quarrelsome.Suggestions that a spinner fast heading towards his 39th birthday should add to his seven Tests, the last of them 11 years ago, naturally invite suspicion,, but contenders are conspicuous by their absence and, if England opt for a specialist finger spinner then on this evidence Batty is better than anybody.ddddddddddddThat he would relish the challenge could be taken for granted.For the first 40 minutes of the morning, Bells call to arms was answered, but the loss of three wickets in six overs then told of a laborious day ahead. The nightwatchman Chris Wright backed up too far and Batty threw him out from mid-on with a celebratory speech of triumph. Varun Chopra, Bells predecessor, whose move to Essex has already been confirmed, edged Mark Footitts sixth ball of the innings to wicketkeeper Steven Davies. To lose Jonathan Trott, alongside whom Bell stood firm so often for England, was the biggest jolt of all, Stuart Meaker producing a good one to have him caught at the wicket.Three more wickets fell in the afternoon session, not just Bell, but Laurie Evans, who was forced back by Ansari and had his off-stump knocked out by one that turned. Rikki Clarke fell in the final over before tea, bowled as he offered no shot to Sam Curran. The tail succumbed easily enough after tea, the victory suitably confirmed by Batty when he had Oliver Hannon-Dalby lbw for nought, six Surrey bowlers taking wickets in a strong team display. Bell was omitted by England after averaging barely 20 in his last 23 Test innings, nine of them single figures. The Warwickshire captaincy seemed a perfect challenge and he has thrown himself into it with gusto. He could have taken quite a narrow role, concentrating on making runs, changing fields and preserving energy to keep his England ambitions alive. Instead, his authority is strikingly wide for a captain. For a player who has not skippered since age-group cricket - apart from a stand-in appearance or two - it must be particularly burdensome.He is taking a central role in recruitment and was influential in the signing of Olly Stone from Northants, a bowler who - if he stays fit - can bring new verve to their attack. Warwickshires academy, too, must surely be something that troubles him because he came that way himself, but it has not produced a player of substance for Warwickshire since Chris Woakes a decade or so ago. To lose Woakes regularly now to England - a consummate professional who would naturally buy into his ideas - has been a deserved career progression for Woakes, but ill-timed for Bell as he seeks to implant his beliefs on a squad that is arguably too unwieldy and too set in its ways to respond in the way he wishes.
