OMG!!! Shane. You go girl!

Shane Mercado is a viral video phenom. He dances to Beyoncé's 'Single Ladies' without missing a beat... and in a single take! Yes, B gets dozens of cuts, but Shane's webcam never pauses.

A couple of weeks ago I mashed Shane up with the original Beyoncé video. It was magical. There was no editing needed at all. He's in perfect time. (Update: the video has been pulled, here's Shane's original)

Not only is Shane probably exhausted from the three minute marathon, but he's doing the whole thing in barely more than a closet!

This music video is legendary in more ways than one. Beyoncé's choreographer is a known Bob Fosse zealot and there were claims that her routine was ripped-off. She finally admitted to the strong influence of his Gwen Verdon dance routine last month in a BET interview.

With millions of hits on YouTube, fans have been begging Shane to teach them the steps.

After much anticipation we present Shane Mercado himself giving dance lessons to a New York newscaster.

@K-213-

So...I truly hope that the email address you're giving Shane isn't yours. Because you, sir, do not act like a MAN. Nor a human. Spewing hate filled rants on a website towards someone who is infinitely more talented than you... that does not make you a man. And telling him to use his brain, while incorrectly spelling definitely, kind of ruins your point. Acting like a man includes employing compassion and humanity towards everyone. You could probably learn a thing or two from Shane. Grow up K213 and do something productive with your talents.

Was anyone else bothered by the fact that they showed the people trying to learn the dance, particularly that one chick, more than they showed the instructor? This was a horrible instructional video, I love him, but the camera man sucked.

Not as good as Beyonce or her dancers...I noticed him "leaning" on the dresser at the beginning when he took it to the floor. I don't recall Beyonce needing that kind of help. Best attempt I've seen at totally duplicating the routine though.
