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.
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
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
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
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.
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!
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 😀
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.
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!
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.
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 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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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?
This video is EXACTLY what i have been wanting from the dance community, and what i want to work towards aswell. thankyou SO MUCH for making this beautiful video and choreography. well done sir, WELL DONE
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. ❤
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!
The music and the dance are just stunningly beautiful...something we need a great deal more of in these days hatred and violent talk of "enemies from within".
😱😱😱😱😲😲😱😱😱😱😱 legit one of the sickest things I have EVER seen ----- ridiculous how utterly Stellar this is... I literally have no words good enough 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
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!
Simply perfect mix of the dance, music and lyrics. Only true artist has skin thin enough to feel the song right, vision clear enough to see how exactly dancers should perform and the soul so pure to create such a brilliant canvas. Beautiful
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🙂
Such a so beautiful thing to watch for❣ The whole time they reproduce the water movement, the alternation of waves, and mixing of blue depth of the water. I can't explain how much I loved it! The interaction of him to the water, when he is surround by them, like they reproduce the response of the water in circles in relation to his movements surrounded my "water". What a choreograph! What a dancers!🏆👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’ve watched this video about four times in a week. And I’m mesmerized every single time at the precision and perfect execution of every one of his dance moves. It’s done so perfect including the facial expressions that he must be an alien or a robot. He’s extraordinarily talented.
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
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.
I am just a typical club dancer below to take dance classes from time to time. This was an amazing piece and it would have been amazing to be a part of that. Whoever created it did a Amazing job.❤
it’s only as i’ve had to learn this dance for part of my gcse grade that i really took into appreciation how hard it is. they all make it look so flawless and easy, the strength they have is incredible, the whole thing is amazing
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 👏👏👏👏👏👌
Truly a masterpiece!! The music, the choreography and the person who edit this video did amazing job!!! the changes of the images combined with the music was sooo good!!
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.. 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
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.
I'm 42 now, never to late to bust a move....I plan to start dancing as a hobby now
Wow! The girls were his river of tears...they flowed and ebbed and reflected his emotions! This was spectacular.
Mesmerizing! And the idea of picking different shades of blue for the dresses was very on point. Added even more dinnamism to the movements.
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 😀
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.
I love the sequence of every dance move, it truly gives the visual effect of an actual river. Beautifully 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
This is what choreography in modern film musicals should be like.
this i called art.... a masterpiece
Love it. So powerful ❤️
Are you kidding me right now ...that was AMAZING OMG!!!!! THAT CHOREO WAS INSANE!
Everything about this video is so right.
The dance.

Damn it's so good, WOW!!
Jeremy Paul Me too!!
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!
this looks amazing.
and totally agree with the commenters about the great part at 1:50 - 2:02 .
That is my favorite part!!!!
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 :)
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.
Everything is great. The ensemble are so strong. Well done. :)
I can't stop watching it. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
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 😮
Strong real men who can dance are so attractive.
Timberland’s production just so many layers to work with. Beautiful
All of the dancers in this video were PHENOMENAL.
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.
1:50 - 1:51 that moment when they move in unison looked so good to me
I always come back to watch this video.
i loved this video 5 years ago and i love it now
2:30 onwards was absolute perfection for me!! I loved the whole piece but that last two minutes... Goosebumps!!!
This is perfection. Mesmerizing, intelligent, beautifully executed, just perfect.
Around midway, the dancing starts to align with the song, that’s when it gets good😊
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 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!
This should have been the video for this song! Amazing!
Andrew Freaking Winghart, done did it again. 😭😭😭😭
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!
Agree finish was spectacular, some of the movement earlier in the video could have been as well practiced.
I like the subtle differences in the ladies dresses- they were more river- like and varying in that way. Wonderful male dancer.
You are such a huge inspiration. Incredible video! As always.
I am literally OBSESSED with this choreography. Emotional lyrics + intricate choreography + a layered Timbaland beat = my favorite kind of dance ever.
Still as much of a masterpiece as the day it was uploaded. Excellent
One of the best choreographies if seen in a long time
something about that turn at 1:27 ... breathtaking
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.
That footwork is absolutely insane! Great job you guys!
I was almost crying at the end... #AbsoluteBeauty #Art
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.

So strong! Both the choreography as well as the dancers! Thank you for this refreshing piece of art.
That's one of my favorite Justin Timberlake songs. This was a very nice performance; and the guy is cute.

The creativity is just perfect.
Gosh, this talented dance, choreography and music takes a performance to a whole new level
Não me canso de ver essa coreografía. Uma das mais incríveis que já. A sincronia, a interpretação...
I've lost count of how many times I've watched this, but it never ceases to amaze.
This was absolutely wonderful! The movement so precise and clean, yet there was passion in every step. Loved it.
Such a so beautiful thing to watch for❣ The whole time they reproduce the water movement, the alternation of waves, and mixing of blue depth of the water. I can't explain how much I loved it!

I clicked expecting a video..This dance memorized me..visually breath taking!
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!
