So.. I guess this is what they do at the secret Beauxbatons training camp. A bunch of lovely women dancing together with their coach before the tri-wizard tournament is freaking cool AF
this is the best comment i've ever seen
Laoal Jaiplum hhahaa im not even a major potter fan, but i couldnt pinpoint who those girls reminded me of, lol yes they are like them 😂😂 love it & this video
lol i thought of Beauxbatons too when i first saw the video
Laoal Jaiplum thats what I thought when I watched it the first time 😂
its not only girls, theres a couple boys in there
It took me a while to realise that I really love the fact that the female dancers keep theirs faces neutral and let the movements speak for themselves. They are all so strong.
As you dance you become the music and the music becomes you dancing is a very fantastic way of expressing ones self
Its because the women were representing something abstract. They were al supposed to be one organism wheras the front man is his own entitiy and therefore less neutral in his expressions
bom
That was some Handmaid's Tale bullcrap if you ask me...wtf was this
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Pastor Murray is an Anointed Servant of GOD who teaches the Word of GOD with Authority!!!!!!!
So beautiful. I'm 42 yrs old and a retired dancer but oh when I see moves like this, contemporary dance has come so far, I wish I could glide across the stage like these stunning dancers. I wasn't expecting contemporary but the flow of the movements told the story perfectly. So well done.
maybe i'm seeing to much into this but their motions imitate a river, everything is continuous, synchronized, and basically flowing from the start till the end. there are parts when they do the domino effect sorta thing, but they also have that eye of the storm (circular) thing where the center is calm but surrounded by organized chaos, just like a cyclone. plus, the color of their clothes kind of allude to this idea as well.
The perfect description
Agree
Exactly!! Agree
Agree too.
Да, мужское начало структуирует женскую жнергию, которая в свою очередь толкает мужское начало вперед❤😊 трансформация инь-ян
It is so important to bring those beautiful choreography works out through qualitative cinematography! This is as much moving as watching spectacular nature landscapes on a big screen and more. All crew work put in this video is just brilliant!
I very much agree! Thanks so much for the kind words!
Elegant with an edge💃🏽🕺🏽
Brilliant work, Andrew Winghart!
Anneli Arro Music I agree! Its important that people recognize the construction behind this piece! Its marvelous. Hey if you have a sec please checkout my dance video and let me know what you think! THANKS 😀
Crying a river was exactly what I did after watching this video!!
Damn it's so good, WOW!!
Jeremy Paul Me too!!
Wow! The girls were his river of tears...they flowed and ebbed and reflected his emotions! This was spectacular.
Strong real men who can dance are so attractive.
Andrew Freaking Winghart, done did it again. 😭😭😭😭
I saw this on Facebook and it is BLOWING UP!!! That part at 1:51-1:57! MY GOD!!!😃🙌🏾❤️
Afronerd_92 Best part!
Afronerd_92 YES 😍😍😍😍😍😍
YESSS that part gave me goosebumps !!! its amazing !!!!! :DDD
Ya! he is a teacher at JUMP dance convention and he taught that to us! It was hard but so much fun.
Afronerd_92 I know! I feel like I saw this before it was on youtube 😮
I always love to come back to this video - it’s just stunning 💙
Stunning indeed 🥹
Mesmerizing! And the idea of picking different shades of blue for the dresses was very on point. Added even more dinnamism to the movements.
this i called art.... a masterpiece
Love it. So powerful ❤️
Indeed a masterpiece at all levels: concept, choreography, performance, photography, costume, everything!
wtf
you are so right Ellie amazing work
I just used this video in a class on ancient Greek tragedy to explain the Chorus. Love it.
Are you kidding me right now ...that was AMAZING OMG!!!!! THAT CHOREO WAS INSANE!
This is what choreography in modern film musicals should be like.
I can't stop watching it. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Everything about this video is so right.
The dance.
The music.
The setting.
The lighting.
The costume.
The cinematography.
Great job to everyone!
Whoaaa sickkkk
This is the most beautiful and heartbreaking dance that I’ve seen in my whole life ❤️😭
Svetlana Tulasi so beautiful and powerful
Then watch Pina by Wim Wenders :)
I feel like I’m in a secret showing of the Mockingjay’s District 12 underground dance recitals the night before the reaping.
Omg yesss I was thinking that to hahaha
Could be Divergent too.
Or the Handmaids!
Everything is great. The ensemble are so strong. Well done. :)
Wow, I am very impressed by this dance! The choreography is absolutely breathtaking and the visual effects created by the dancers' movements are incredible. Also, the dancers are so in sync it looks unreal. I'm truly speechless, great job!
Still as much of a masterpiece as the day it was uploaded. Excellent
I always come back to watch this video.
1:50 - 1:51 that moment when they move in unison looked so good to me
this looks amazing.
and totally agree with the commenters about the great part at 1:50 - 2:02 .
That is my favorite part!!!!
This was absolutely spectacular. 🫶 The different shades of blue dresses & their neutral faces the entire time added so much to that dance. Absolutely loved it & that song. ❤
Around midway, the dancing starts to align with the song, that’s when it gets good😊
This should have been the video for this song! Amazing!
I love the sequence of every dance move, it truly gives the visual effect of an actual river. Beautifully done.
something about that turn at 1:27 ... breathtaking
The lead dancer had one Fine Attitude throughout his entire body and demeanor.
2:36 to the finish - especially love those swaying, lilting lifts. mm mm Gooood.♥
Bravo to all!
Literally screamed out "I'm in love"
All of the dancers in this video were PHENOMENAL.
Stunning! I love the blue representation of the river/tears. My fave part is 2:35, where they're swaying from side to side. Perfection.
I like the subtle differences in the ladies dresses- they were more river- like and varying in that way. Wonderful male dancer.
You think you have seen everything and then this video shows up. Incredible dance routine.
I admire this piece as the artist combined three different generes, I saw contemporary, one modern style hiphop phrase, and close to the end of the song I saw what looked like a lyrical or liturgical phrase, wow! There sky blue or ocean blue packaging was quite fitting for the theme of the piece ( Cry me a River) love it.
You are such a huge inspiration. Incredible video! As always.
This is perfection. Mesmerizing, intelligent, beautifully executed, just perfect.
A message to the choreographer - Andrew Winghart - fantastic imagery. Dance shows that tempest of a river by the beautiful dancers. Do not know if that was your intent - that was my first impression. I realize this video is old but so relevant today - with all of us crying tears that can fill not just a river but an ocean with our lives been drastically changed by these Covid chaotic times. I thank you ever so much and I would love your feed back if by chance you ever see this post.
This is so beautiful omgg
wow the video was at like 70k views when I left his comment
I was almost crying at the end... #AbsoluteBeauty #Art
4 years later I still comeback to watch it again, beautiful work of art
Timberland’s production just so many layers to work with. Beautiful
I love the feminine dancers performing as masculine. It first caught my eye at 1:50-2:04. Their moves are so severe and sharp and in sync with the lead. Well done. Fecking mesmerizing.
YES THAT WAS MY FAVORITE PART
This looks like it can be a scene from a Hunger Games novel/movie broadway show.
ohmychickenballllls exactly what I was thinking :D
Harry Potter ... Fleur D'elacour and the other girls
it also has a cult-vibe to it. With the guy in the middle and all the women around him and their dresses look a bit religious...
Former dancer here as well (jazz) Loved the entire piece... awesome choreo and cinematography!👏👏👏👏
That was a really cool handmaids tale inspired dance loved the uniformed fashion, dance was awesome.... amazing.😄😄👋👋👋
that was brilliant!!!
George George George ❤🤘🏾 but this choreography and directorial is amazing I love this 😎
One of the best choreographies if seen in a long time
Cry Me a River is one of my favorite Justin Timberlake songs. I NEVER imagined that someone could dance to it! This is beautiful. After the incredible dancing, my favorite part are the blue gowns the women are wearing and their river current-like movements.
I am literally OBSESSED with this choreography. Emotional lyrics + intricate choreography + a layered Timbaland beat = my favorite kind of dance ever.
i can't help seeig Beauxbatons doing this #potterdhead
Claudia Nyamda glad i'm not the only one 😂
Watching them do that on concrete hurt my knees. LOL But the coordination skill and physical control is undeniable. Well done!
2:30 onwards was absolute perfection for me!! I loved the whole piece but that last two minutes... Goosebumps!!!
Beautiful dancing. Was this shot in front of a green screen? There's something with the lighting that's messing with my mind.
Nope no green screen!
They most likely did all of these shots at different times of the day so most likely there is lighting variations. I could tell at some parts that they had to have lighting as it was towards the end of the day.
we had one giant light source in front and the rest was all natural light you are correct - our shoot day was pretty short as light was contingent on sun being out!
@Tesy Lava I think so too, for example, you can see a big light change between the
first and the last shot. The windows in the ceiling show that the sun
moved. I guess the first one was done at noon, sun directly
above/between both windows, while the last one was done 2-3 hours before
or most probably after.
They most probably started in the morning
with setting up the euipment, costume and makeup for the dancers and
some warmup/rehearsal, then started shooting around noon with the
totals. Colser shot, like the one at 01:52, were probably done later in
the afternoon, when the windows in the background didn't look that nice
anymore (that's how I would do it) and you can clearly see there is a
big soft light source placed on the right side outside the frame. As
Andrew said in another comment, that light source was also used as fill
light in the frontal shots
I can't imagine how much passion and work went into this masterpiece: the chores, the body control of the performers, the cinematic and camera work, awesome!
First off, I am waaaaayyy older than everyone on here, literally from another generation. The dancing, music, backdrop, colors all melted together into one slowly over time. I can't dance worth shi*t, but can tell getting that many people in one group to move together is a rough project and well done, much better than the usual stuff you see put out. If all of you are speaking to another generation of people, you are battin 100 💪🙌 Keep up the great work and congrats to all of you.
XOXO from Chicago🙂
2024 that song's becoming my reality.
That's one of my favorite Justin Timberlake songs. This was a very nice performance; and the guy is cute.
HONEY, WHERE'S MY SUPER SUIT
His clothes reminds me of Frozone from the Incredibles.
Honestly this is some amazing choreography though. I am amazed.
The Handmaids can dance their butts off 🔥
omg someone said it🙈🙈🙈😍🤣🙈🙈🙈
I thought it was only me 😂
This perfectly reflects the situation at my dance classes when I was a kid: 37 girls and 1 boy. You'd have to cry a river to form a pair with him haha.
😱😱😱😱😲😲😱😱😱😱😱 legit one of the sickest things I have EVER seen ----- ridiculous how utterly Stellar this is... I literally have no words good enough 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I've watched this so many times. To the point, I heard the song on the radio and this is all I could picture.
The movements are hauntingly beautiful and I feel it in the guys facial expression.
Amazing Dancing moves!❤🎉
i loved this video 5 years ago and i love it now
I kept seeing this in my recommendations and was like "why?" Finally watched it after a few days. Loved it
Amazing choreography. The dance is impeccably executed. Truly inspiring.
Extensions Artistry Synchrony Balance Excellent Energy and Vibe 🕯️
Fantastic dancing, costumes, everything immaculate 👏🏻
unexpected influx of comments in the last 24 hours..... not sure why that is happening but either way thanks so much for all of the kind words on this one!
Fantastic composition (beyond the hype). Gave me shivers.
Andrew Winghart Andrew this is a brilliant piece of work, thank you for sharing!. I was just curious to know why you hired someone to be the lead instead of dancing yourself?
Andrew Winghart Bollroom dancing

Andrew Winghart this is excellent! From beginning to end.
Would you consider checking out BTS's mv's? Not Today is hittin it but they have a lot of others that may be more your style.
Would love it if you could get some of your choreo in an MV!
yes army you promo our boys
One word WAUW !!! And the choreography is incredibly beautiful and grandiose 🌹♥🌹
This dance is AMAZING! I watch it all the time. The song is beautiful. They are all extremely talented dancers.
Omgosh!!! This was just perfect!! I've repeated the video 4 times already 🥰
The representation of the river and the multiple beat overtones with the women is so powerful.
The Amish been REAL QUIET since this dropped.
🤣🤣🤣
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 omg this comment brought me to tears
Speak on it 🙌🏾 🤣
Girll wtf 😂😂😂
🤣🤣👍🏽💯
SPECTACULAR! Had to watch it again & again. Can’t take my eyes off the handsome Dance teacher.( he’s gawjuss) and the girls were mesmerising together. Simply Fantastic 👏👏👏👏👏👌
I m blown away they killed it completely the waves the movements the vibes no smiles damn loved it
2:02 so satisfying how they just go up and down without falling. Overall I love the video now I can dance to this ( and then take a trip to the hospital ) and sing a long ( and break my vocal cords)
Как же это красиво! Уже раз 15 пересмотрела! Amazing!
Music + Movement = Beauty 👌🏴😎
Phenomenal. Watching this without sound is haunting
This is the best choreography video I’ve seen all year. Reminds me of when I used to picture myself dancing pointe to rap songs as I listened to them lol 😂
Потрясающе 👏👏👏💐💐💐
Everything in this video
Is phenomenal !!!
The dancers !!! The dance !!! The customs !!! the direction !!! The camera !!! Everything is PERFECT !!!💖💖💖💙💙💙💚💚💚💛💛💛💛💛👑👑👑👑
Crying . This is how awesome is this dance
So crisp & professional. Absolutely love it. 👏🏾
My favorite parts were 1:51 - 2:06 and 2:36 💖💖
This is why I love modern dance. This work is a truly outstanding use of space, rhythm, and justa-position of movement elements- bound verses free and slow verses quick. I was mesmerized by the wave-like, ebb and flow sequential group movements. The creative, edgy choreography made way for dynamic emotional piece that I will not soon forget. This is a masterpiece. Bravo!
Okay. THIS video just made my whole week! Awesome!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The guy looks so arrogant, but in a good way... He killed it....... I love it ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
I clicked expecting a video..This dance memorized me..visually breath taking!
This is one of the prettiest and smoothest dances I’ve ever seen!! I LOVE THIS!!
JAJAAAAJ
Again…. Just…. Brilliant!
"Cry me a River ". The women in blue, embodying the river, represent the tears shed by a heartbroken woman trying to win their love back. Their fluid movements symbolize the ebb and flow of emotions that one experiences in the face of sorrow. Despite being engulfed by this river, the lead dancer portrays the struggle and eventual triumph over these overwhelming feelings. He keeps trying to control this river but ends up being swallowed by it over and over...
