Example:
One thing the Temptations were well known for was their smooth dance moves that set them apart and took America by storm. With the help of choreographer Cholly Atkins, the Temptations dance moves became even more synchronized, bringing their performances to the next level. The “Temptations’ Walk” soon becomes as world-famous as they are. In the video clip below you will see the Temptations performing one of their hit singles “My Girl”. From their first move you see the men moving as one. Even as David Ruffin sang lead with varying dance moves, the remaining gentlemen continued to move in sync, moving off the cue of Ruffin.
