Dance like Justin Bieber's watching
Sure people might be crushing over Zayn Malik's Pillow Talk ATM but deep down I think we all know, Justin Bieber's Sorry is the greatest video of modern times. Want to learn the dance from the video? Head to Seen On Screen, the dance workout connoisseurs who have just introduced their newest (and probably greatest) class of all time - their take on the Sorry video.
