NIKE - OWN THE FLOOR

Official music video for Keli Holiday's first single "We Don't Have To Know". Remember being young and blissfully ignorant? Remember how much easier it was to be happy when you cared less? The theme of the song “we don’t have to know” embodies this carefree spirit and living freely attitude. So, the idea of the video was to tap into that special camaraderie only childhood friends have and capture that youthful feeling of living on a high, not giving a fuck and going at life one skate trick at a time.

These New Yorkers reimagine NYC as their dance floor, pushing the boundaries of what dance and dancers look like while finding power and freedom in movement.

For them, dance is the ultimate form of self-expression, and NYC is one big stage. Watch how they Own The Floor.
