"We've hung out a little bit man, we're friends. He's cool man. He took me to a Korean club in New York City.

"Oh my God, they really party hard. It was so cool to see what he's able to do in his world. With this dance craze it just introduces you to something different."

He said: "I really love opportunities like this where you're able to teach people who don't really know the real value of movement and how these dance crazes have followed us and become part of our personality.

"If you go back to our parents, they had the twist and things like that. When we were kids we had we were break dancing, and now we have our new modern movements."
