Torrance Community Dance Group

Choreographer Richard Koufey leads the Torrance Community Dance Group to epic heights in the creation of the music video "Praise You" for Fatboy Slim.

All I know about Torrance is it's the place Spike Jonze picked for his suburban dance troupe in the Fat Boy Slim video to come from. It's just the epitome of the burbs.

Fatboy Slim's video won three major awards at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards: Breakthrough Video, Best Direction (awarded to "Torrance Community Dance Group"), and Best Choreography (awarded to "Richard Koufey & Michael Rooney"). It was also nominated for, but did not win, Best Dance Video. The group also put on a dance performance to the song at the awards. In 2001, it was voted number one of the 100 best videos of all time, in a poll to mark the 20th anniversary of MTV.
