Shinedown shares the video for ‘Dance, Kid, Dance’

Shinedown has released the music video for their No. 1 song “Dance, Kid, Dance.”  Dance, Kid, Dance made history reaching No. 1 on the Mediabase Active Rock Chart, marking Shinedown’s 22nd No. 1 – making them the only band in the charts history to achieve 20 No. 1s on the chart.

The video, directed by Lewis Cater and choreographed by Julissa Bond, was filmed in Brooklyn, New York and opens up with concert goers trying to break into a vending machine to take “the pills (that) will make you dance” while featuring the members of Shinedown giving a live performance.

The band’s Brent Smith shares: “For the video, we really wanted to focus on the dancers. Every one of them brought so much energy to the set, and it was amazing to watch and be a part of. The song doesn’t let up, so it was super important that our performance as a band matched the intensity of the choreography. When it came to the location, everyone agreed that NYC was the place. The backdrop of the city, and the authenticity of the dance culture was extremely important. One of the coolest things about the video for us as a band, is that every time you watch it you see something new, and exciting. We had an absolute blast making it and we hope the fans love it as much as we do.”

In addition, the Dance, Kid, Dance Tour just kicked-off on April 25th in Des Moines, Iowa, and will make stops across the U.S. in Nashville, New York, and more before wrapping up in Memphis on August 30th. The 36-date trek will feature special guest Beartooth on the spring dates and Bush on the summer dates, with Morgan Wade opening all shows.
