How have I JUST discovered this man! Chey's movements aren't just dancing, they are art. I don't recall ever crying while watching someone dance, but his second performance literally brought me to tears. It's a drug induced psychosis while trying to pretend everything is fine. It's smiling and laughing while your greatest fears play out in your soul. It's just trying to breathe, while your entire world morphs into something unrecognizable. It's a dichotomy of delight and terror, pleasure and suffering, curiosity and repulsion. It's LIFE. He's brilliant!
I love your analysis of Chey’s l performance. There is certainly something overtly unique about him. I see it! The first piece felt like a forced physical transformation.
I came to see Chey's power-move, but honestly stayed because of Dykens. Such power expressed with fluidity and delicateness. Really refreshing. Nice balance between the two.
Same here. Saw a random video with the split somersault move and found this. His tricks are out of this world but the 2nd guy actually danced. I've only watched 1 round so far though
I saw some comments here saying that Chey's 2nd round was boring, but I can clearly see that he was incorporating the words of Alan Watts (the sampled speech in the 2nd track) into his dance. He was expressing the lyrics through his physical body and facial expression, and it was something truly beautiful and artistic to me. Chey was not dancing to show his skills or abilities but was simply in tuned with the present and danced to manifest life itself. And it was absolutely poetic
@@RecK1312 Im so sorry for you if you cant understand the beauty of that performance from Chey, appreciate those artistic moves and how complex is connect with other people trougth dance. The first song was incredible with those moves for sure, but the second was a masterpiece.
Chey showed in the first round how experienced he is, but in the second round, I have no words, a wonderful show, I wish I had been there, it was a performance that everyone should see with their own eyes. Congratulations Chey.
I lost count how many times I came here to watch the start of this video with Chey being a Monster on the floor. Can't stop seeing this over and over after so many years.
One of the things I love about ILTD format is we get to see each artists own interpretation of dance by giving them song choice and removing the pressures of tournaments where moves have to be saved for the next round or other inconveniences. I also love the pairings, whoever chooses who will battle who really understands dance, in a million years I wouldn't have paired these two but look at how it turned out!
Song choice!! A great thing!! Something I use to say years years ago.Awesome to see this kind of format today!! ILTD is one the best dance formats I have seen!!
The way Chey moves and expresses himself...It brings a tear to my eye because of how beautiful it is. I can't really put my finger on what it is he's doing but it's really powerful and beautiful.
Chey's first round showed his skills, the second round was just a victory lap, expressing himself, been coming back to this video for years, beautiful!
What a beautiful masterpiece by Chey. His expression and mastery of the art of dance should be a lesson to all. Dancers dance. They dont think or read about it, they do it....enthusiastically, passionately, and with relentless dedication until it becomes second nature. Consider what Chey had to do to get to such a high level and do that in your desired area of expertise. Don't major in minor things. Align your actions with your goals and pursue your goals relentlessly. Then you too can create a beautiful expression of who you are in your desired area. Sorry for the rant, but this dance inspired me beyond my love for dance.
"Don't major in minor things..." I know you didn't write this to me, a random stranger on the interwebs, but I love that whole piece man. Needed to see that at this moment in my life
Chey's dance was the most inspiring piece of human embodiment i have ever seen. Thank you, brother and thank you for sharing this! Dance like a prayer!
@2:17 Nuages - Dreams. Oh man, this song helped me so much when I was struggling with anxiety while preping my master thesis. Incredible to listen to it here and to watch Dyken's performance upon it. Blessed.
It’s. Eerie. In the last two weeks, I’ve heard of alan watts on 5 separate occasions having nothing in common…. (3 on line 1 at a bookstore and now this…) I believe more than once’s is no longer coincide.
2 years ago I commented that and I still watch this video! Insane! I watch this video so often and iv watched so much more at this point the world of this freestyle dancing has seriously opened my eyes!
It never ceases to amaze me watching how every dancer interprets the song. Whether they’re telling a story or just dancing to the counts of the music, it makes my skin crawl in the most special way. This was a really interesting battle and I enjoyed them both!
Chey's reaction at 3:45 explains how beautiful is the connection between man and music when both becomes one. I wish Alan Watts was alive to enjoy this magnificent moment. It really looks like a "dream" coming out through these body moviments.
I love that he choose Alan Watts lyrics with the dance, it's so good :) Chey performance there was straight how you must feel about music & dancing. You get the chill when someone is staring right at people with an amazing music background and you know at this moment your only job is to get lost in the moment :)
Chey bro, i dont know if you will ever read this, but i have seen a lot of dancers but they didnt even reached the hype and the possesioning of the song like you dude. I was literally with open mouth with every move and totally amazed with your connection and expressing with the music. Congratulations for real!
I came here one more time - all was like Che, Che and Che - but my boi Dykens flow was crazy. Che pull some stoppers out with the flips and split but Dykens style is dope. So I say Dykens, Dykens, Dykens killed it
Chey first round was stunning. He was like a man possessed by a evil spirit. It was spellbinding to watch him -- i have never been so spooked out. Incredible commitment to the part and exquisite movements!
The first 2 minutes of this video are mind-blowing. From the unique performance through the music, light, emotion, public's reactions and even the camera angle.. any cinematographer would dream to do such a shot if there was a movie in this thematic. A masterpiece created without intention.
I stumbled across this by random i didnt know dancing like this existed i will say honestly its strange... But i cant stop watching lol its very different very unique the music is very good very artistic and the dances compliment it its very hard to describe what im watching but im also very grateful this is video is my in ! And im wierdly hooked !
At this point on I'm so grateful for your reply man my eyes have been opened drasticallyiv seen so many videos of this now it's incredible it all started here for me and I'm so grateful chey is unbelievable hes awesome but even when there's a winner I believe there's always 2 winners because every person has such a unique dance style
Song choice!! With variations of dance styles too.A great thing!! Something I use to say years years ago.Awesome to see this kind of format today!! ILTD is one the best dance formats I have seen!!
It became so much more meaningful the second he started lipsyncing with his facial expressions rather than his mouth. It made every movement and word count in both the dance and the song linked together. That’s art
5:18 just pure moment....very rare to capture like some mating dances in the great wild. Show this to my kids as an example of possessed by the beat which shatters all walls, barriers, labels, judgement, styles, etc etc Let freedom ring fam!!
Is it corny I got teary eyed watching that first set from the black gentleman in stripes? Damn, that was so fluid and beautiful. I always knew Hip Hop was an evolving form, so to see this brings me so much joy.
Chey I have watch your first round atleast 20 times already… just amazing.. the best part of your entire piece…. When you raise your hands and go “huh….what???”….LOLOLOLOL.. you are awesome.
Stunning! Beautifu! Evolutionary! We are honoured by the presence of such talented beings and all the effort involved by all those in creating the music, the technology and in bringing these performaces in this stage and youtube!! Truly special!!!
Well the both of them are certainly extremely gifted dancers just by the control that they both possess over every respective member of their body. HOWEVER, Chey exhibited movement on such a sophisticated level of seemingly effortless dynamic grace that he not only stole all my attention each time, but he also brought a deeper gravity to the lyrics, rhtrym and flow of each song he used! But again, both of them showcased awesome skillsets!
wow that was wounderfull! chey first round i wasnt ready for it was awsome in some parts! dykens second round was really good. u could see how he felt more comfterable in the more rithmyc music. overall it was really cool seeing those 2 guys doing their thing. i really loved how chey uses (what seems to be) hes backround in contemporary dance and preformance in this kind of "brack dance" field. first time im seeing it. he opened my mind :-)
CHEY is absolutely AMAZING! .. he looks... 45? He moves... 15? .. he vibes.. Eternal? CHEY is the real deal, like water moving through an ameba, his vessel portrays and encompasses MASS! ❤ ❤ ❤
he could done it better, the other guy has a feeling on both songs better them him, hard to explain, but he was more envolved with the music, dykins not so much.
Chiey round was a amazing but dykens first round was amazing he hit every beat and moved around the stage beautifully. As far as people saying that Chey second round was boring but that is his style of dance performance dance .
Who else found him on tiktok and just need to watch the whole? Hahahaha
Yup
Lol me 🙋🏽♀️
🤣🤦🏾♀️👋🏾👋🏾
Meee ✋🏻 haha
Yep 🙋🏼♀️

He took his interpretive dancing and actually made something cool af and deep

omg reading your comment made cry even harder. well said and thank you
His movements are art.
And your words and discribing are also an art as well.

best part is replaying it to see everyone's reaction to Chey's flip split. Everyone has a unique reaction that is quite entertaining.
Dude on the right monkey slapping the floor takes it 😂 also dude in the back right running back and forth is hilarious.
DYKENS movement like four element...flow like water, fly with the wind, solid like earth, and definitely fire

@@RecK1312bfrr 💀 they are just explaining what they think, they clearly understand dance more than you
@@RecK1312 Not everyone appreciates art the same and this was most certainly art.

Chey, it's 2023 & I'm still amazed by this MASTERPIECE. IMPOSSIBLE. Still haven't seen a similar round... what were you on that day man?
Mushrooms😂

POWER OF SPIRITUAL , NATURAL & ORGANIC MOVEMENT
Chey's first round showed his skills, the second round was just a victory lap, expressing himself, been coming back to this video for years, beautiful!
I especially replayed THAT Chey move on and on to enjoy every individual's reaction to it...just stunning.

Goat, I came here looking for this info. Bless.
The Chey's moves is so strong that they become unbelievable. This video washed my soul. Thanks, ilovethisdance!
Both were in another level on their own different style
Very very true
1:52 was an amazing, most expressive movement of this round. Great face off!!
These beats are so hard to dance to, yet they manage to make it work. I mean that as a compliment. 🙌❤️
2 years ago I commented that and I still watch this video! Insane! I watch this video so often and iv watched so much more at this point the world of this freestyle dancing has seriously opened my eyes!
I also watch it every now and then just to experience this amazing art form... It's out of this world.. It gives me a feeling I can't even explain..
It never ceases to amaze me watching how every dancer interprets the song. Whether they’re telling a story or just dancing to the counts of the music, it makes my skin crawl in the most special way. This was a really interesting battle and I enjoyed them both!
I just got hypnotic with Dykens first round, literally! Amazing! Magic**
I love it when bboy's like Chey and Kriss wander on the artistic route. Very mature!! Respect
Chey is literally walking poetry
yes. very boring and slow
I completely agree with you Serena I could watch him all day he’s so calming to watch i literally got sucked in like he was speaking to my soul..
Chey's reaction at 3:45 explains how beautiful is the connection between man and music when both becomes one. I wish Alan Watts was alive to enjoy this magnificent moment. It really looks like a "dream" coming out through these body moviments.
Chey what an impressive dancer he is, amazing control and performance. The stage has become a performance stage and not that of a battle anymore
I love that he choose Alan Watts lyrics with the dance, it's so good :)
Chey performance there was straight how you must feel about music & dancing. You get the chill when someone is staring right at people with an amazing music background and you know at this moment your only job is to get lost in the moment :)
so intense! i adored this...pure poetry!
this was so deep Cheys interpretation …together with Alan Watts...i teared up!
Chey bro, i dont know if you will ever read this, but i have seen a lot of dancers but they didnt even reached the hype and the possesioning of the song like you dude. I was literally with open mouth with every move and totally amazed with your connection and expressing with the music. Congratulations for real!
the first round was clearly above standard !!!
check les twins bro :)
sushilogic lol
@@ESO313 dude, chey is Le Quatruplets
@@distructed1878 EXACTLY!
I came here one more time - all was like Che, Che and Che - but my boi Dykens flow was crazy. Che pull some stoppers out with the flips and split but Dykens style is dope. So I say Dykens, Dykens, Dykens killed it
Chey shocked us for life (I'm still rewinding that part) but Dykens was really consistent during both rounds.
😍👍👍👍👍
That last move and the way he closed that round shocked me too
Legend say Arnoboy93 still rewinding that part
Hamzah As Oh please, we're all doing it !
Y talk and dance with him :p
That was incredible. He moves like silk. So beautiful
Dykens...
Fluidity, originality, space ... Sublime
R.I.P replay botton🔥
Lol yes. Think I also watched cheys part like 20 times. It's so amazing and intense ❤
You right about that play button
CHU Chu Chu Chu chu
I totally agree!
Annoying
The turbo goes:
It sounds like a mating call 😂
Annoying AF
Me watching the whole Show mouth and eyes wild open. This is beautiful and unbelievable 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
do they have bones 😅?
the best perfomance I've seen so far
i have watched this 20+ times on diff occasions
The split at 1:54 it’s amazing 🥰🥰🥰 you have talent
*Chey's first was the craziest round of 2019, and we're only 5 days in!*
Loco Vara's last round round for me. This ILTD edition was crazy!
But it was in 2018
Seeing Chey has the greater WOW-Effect but seeing Dykens has the better WOAH-Effect
Or awe-effect to be precise
Chey first round was stunning. He was like a man possessed by a evil spirit. It was spellbinding to watch him -- i have never been so spooked out. Incredible commitment to the part and exquisite movements!
Chey I’m not sure that you are human!!! Original Style.. a mix of dance and so expressive...Congratulations my friend 👏👏👏
i’ve never seen this type of dancing before but the way they move, i can feel it in my soul
Ça doit être la 20e fois que je regarde les passages de chey. Je m’en remets pas. Il a rappelé aux meilleurs pourquoi on danse. L’émotion damn

that's what you get when a dancer dances to the music instead of using (mostly existing) dance moves in music!
At this point on I'm so grateful for your reply man my eyes have been opened drasticallyiv seen so many videos of this now it's incredible it all started here for me and I'm so grateful chey is unbelievable hes awesome but even when there's a winner I believe there's always 2 winners because every person has such a unique dance style
1:51 is the coolest move ive ever seen and he did it so effortlessly wow
They are such different dancers both beautiful to watch. Chey is unbelievable
Song choice!! With variations of dance styles too.A great thing!! Something I use to say years years ago.Awesome to see this kind of format today!! ILTD is one the best dance formats I have seen!!
When the truth is poetry. Beautiful CHEY ❤👏
Respect to both dancers, the point was just Chey danced in a different universe. Awesome.
what great humaness from these 2 i approve
First CHEY's set was beyond insane...
I just saw him on Ticktock and searched him up!! Wooowww, breakdancing has evolved from its beginnings. These dances are BEAUTIFUL!!
Chey man so dope this battle i will not forget ..even when he sit down is so much feeling u can see in his facial expression is too real..
It became so much more meaningful the second he started lipsyncing with his facial expressions rather than his mouth. It made every movement and word count in both the dance and the song linked together. That’s art
5:18 just pure moment....very rare to capture like some mating dances in the great wild.
Show this to my kids as an example of possessed by the beat which shatters all walls, barriers, labels, judgement, styles, etc etc Let freedom ring fam!!
Im revisiting this and it never ceases to amaze me.
They both killed did in there own dance style . Chiey of course but Dykens showed out too . Props to both dancers
Dykens is a one man army!!!!!!! God damn!!! That last round!
1. Keyleybeats - Dykens
2. Nuages - Dreams
The first song is not the same.
Name of Keyley song..?
thanks, god
God bless
chey's movement is unreal and that one move might have been burned into my memories for years to come as one of the best I have ever seen. Fabulous
Is it corny I got teary eyed watching that first set from the black gentleman in stripes? Damn, that was so fluid and beautiful. I always knew Hip Hop was an evolving form, so to see this brings me so much joy.

I love Dykens' style so much. It's more about freedom. CHEY is a great dancer, I can see more thoughts in his dance.
CHEY IS A MONSTER!
agree
they both look like they have so much fun doing this. kinda makes me want to learn to dance. even just watching it makes me very happy.
You already know how to dance, all you have to learn is how to let your body do it.
wow! these dances are incredibly beautiful - Dykens wins for me
Two beautiful dancer's just feeling the music going with the moment of the music and not thinking while dancing beautiful to see
Voilà. Chey. Dykens. Pure beauty.
Dykens moves within the music we’re phenomenal. Wanted more. Chet told the story for sure.
Well the both of them are certainly extremely gifted dancers just by the control that they both possess over every respective member of their body.

wow that was wounderfull! chey first round i wasnt ready for it was awsome in some parts!
dykens second round was really good. u could see how he felt more comfterable in the more rithmyc music.
overall it was really cool seeing those 2 guys doing their thing. i really loved how chey uses (what seems to be) hes backround in contemporary dance and preformance in this kind of "brack dance" field. first time im seeing it. he opened my mind :-)
CHEY is absolutely AMAZING!
.. he looks... 45?
He moves... 15?
.. he vibes.. Eternal?
CHEY is the real deal, like water moving through an ameba, his vessel portrays and encompasses MASS!
❤ ❤ ❤
how is it possible, that i noticed masterpiece in second Chey's round only after few viewings
Dykens, beautifull performance bro
too gud, he was smug during the performance tho hahaha
he could done it better, the other guy has a feeling on both songs better them him, hard to explain, but he was more envolved with the music, dykins not so much.
Eartbending and Waterbending.
Got it, loved it. ❤️🔥
I liked them both
But that move Chey did in the 1st round was crazy salute to both dancers
Chu chu Chu cHu..😆
This move should be in the Hall of Fame
so spiritual guys, told so much in their moves, absolute original amazing human beings
One of the best and healthiest battles I’ve ever seen!😍😍😍
Couldn't decide. Love both! And liked 2nd song too
this artist deserve 100 million views why so underrated .,.. i am so happy to find this kind videos on youtube
Chey will make you cry.Best bboy I have ever seen.
The best thing about dance is that you can do whatever you want
1:51 there are 20 persons in the field of view when The Move happens.
Rewind and check each individual reaction.
been doing that for months. ooooof
Оболденно !!! Просто оболденно !!! Такая музыка завораживающая 🖤
Whoa!! Alan Watts and Dance. Art can bridge anything.
Both dope....but Chey was incredible ,movements hella crazy!
WOOOW!!! I HAVE NO WORDS FOR THIS 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Chey is so good with floor work while Dykens is good with his arms..
Chiey round was a amazing but dykens first round was amazing he hit every beat and moved around the stage beautifully. As far as people saying that Chey second round was boring but that is his style of dance performance dance .
3:37 - 3:45 I love this hahah
