The Best of the Auntie Dance - Mary’s on-stage dance moves aren’t strictly for a live audience. We’ve been seeing that signature sway in her videos for years now. While she isn't an OG Flygirl or anything like that, MJB’s dance moves are one-of-a-kind, and what would we do without them? So do like Mary and dance like nobody's watching. Oh, and go beyond the dance moves and tune in to The BET Life of Mary J. Blige tonight at 8 p.m. ET on BET. – Jon Reyes(Photo:  Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images for Live Nation)
