Brian Friedman, who has choreographed routines for artists such as Janet Jackson and Britney Spears, served as the choreographer and creative director for the dance sequences, which included salsa numbers, a routine performed on a moving staircase, and a piece that paired MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew winners Jabbawockeez with a group of 14 children.
