Justin Bieber's new music video stars Kiwi dancer Parris Goebel and her South Auckland dance crews ReQuest and Royal Family Mega Crew.
Bieber's video for Sorry, launched today, was directed, produced and choreographed by Goebel.
Her dance crews take centre stage for the entire 3.25 minute clip with Bieber no where in sight.
The clip has had the thumbs up from Goebel's pop star friend Lorde, who wrote on Twitter it was "out of control".
It also had Complex magazine asking, 'Who are the dancers in Justin Bieber's Sorry music video?' - a question Goebel herself answered.
Goebel, 23, also worked with Jennifer Lopez on her Dance Again World Tour, and recently worked with Janet Jackson on her world tour.
Co-written and produced by Skrillex and Blood Diamonds, Sorry is the latest single from Bieber's new album Purpose, due out before the end of the year.
It follows Bieber's megahits What Do You Mean and Where Are U Now?
The Sorry clip and its dancing has already been praised by fans.
Goebel was named Young New Zealander of the Year in 2014. She runs the The Palace Dance Studio in Auckland.
She also features in this year's Kiwi dance film Born to Dance.
