And also the choreographies are made after the songs have been written and recorded so the person who's singing or rapping in the part is usually in the middle, taking his piece of spotlight. Another reason why the formations keeps changing and keeps the focus of the watcher on them.
@@lindseymackail9350 Interesting trivia. All groups under HYBE are in odd numbers becos of this. When one is singing or rapping they will be flanked in balance. Like 3 on the left, 3 on the right. TxT (Tomorrow by Together) - 5 members. Enhypen - 7 members. I think Bang PD (the founder) & Son Song Deuk (main choreographer / performance director) mention this before about putting emphasis on the main singer or rapper at that moment and the beauty of the choreography. Also take note of some of the movements ( isolation, the technical terms, I think). They usually reflect the lyrics of the songs. That moment that you like, the English translation "Heartbeat pulsing slow in my ears Bump, bump, bump Trying to escape with no avail Jump, jump, jump No song affects me anymore Crying out a silent cry"
Lindsey Jin, RM, and Suga were not dancers when they started. Suga complained that he was tricked...he was told no dancing or singing (I think RM too). They've had to learn to dance from scratch. Sometimes they aren't as fluid or expressive in their dance as Hobi, Jimin or Jungkook. Props to them and their dance teachers...
I agree, they worked so hard to elevate to such a great level and they blend in so well. They are dancers to me regardless of how long. They def have that title ;)
You left out V. He was not a dancer either. I believe after his solo video for Singularity & it’s choreography he was made part of the dance line as well. Jimin also has his own dance break performing at the end of Black Swan at one of their online concert which is amazing. Their transition from Blue & Gray to Black Swan at PTD concerts is breathtaking.
If you watch American Hustle Life, the second program following their Debut, they struggle with Rapping, Singing, and Dancing and express their insecurities. Its Brilliant seeing them Now 💜
Lindsey, I know you're mainly here to react and analyze their dancing, I think to really appreciate BTS, their songs, the choreo... you have to see them perform this live, while they're singing too. Especially this one, at the PTD concert, their latest.
I strongly recommen you to react to "On" rehearsal practice which they recorded the same day... Totally different style and way bigger scale (whole lot of backup dancers) I think it will blow your mind
I love the fact that you're actually making us notice things we probably wouldn't have seen, with no need for sugarcoating, that's what I love about your reactions. They're genuine and informative and it makes us appreciate even more the process they're going through before the live performance. Thank you!
loved your breakdown! you saying that they're even breathing together really shook me for some reason lmao, I guess it makes sense that they would synch up like that after practicing so much, but I'd never thought about it before. also thank you for rewinding to show the clips, it was definitely really helpful for understanding 💜 I see a lot of people recommending you react to their grammys performance from sunday & I agree! one of their members, Jin, has a hand injury so he didn't dance for half the song. also, some of the members had to isolate for COVID, so iirc they only had 1 day for all the group members to practice the final choreography together. after the show, they said that during practice they weren't able to do a certain move correctly more than like 1/3 of the time. it was a high risk performance for them lmao, would love to see your analysis on how they did all things considering!
Im glad the breathing thing shook you. Its actually a pretty cool feeling when you really start jelling with people while dancing and just like singers we learn where we need to breathe and there is a big difference in a person inhaling than exhaling even in body movement so when you start wanting to look as one and rehearse to be so in sync, you start to go through the choreo and learn where to breathe to save your stamina, and also how to look even more like one. It also creates this energy together....kinda hard to explain bc its a feeling but I hope Im making sense ;) lol I will get on the Grammys!! I didn't know all that info tho so thank you
@@lindseymackail9350 I'm betting you'll need to edit your screen capture of the Grammy performance(if you use the broadcast video) somehow so that it doesn't get blocked. Some make it look somewhat transparent, some have a message across the screen, etc. Just some suggestions since I know this is new to you.
@@lindseymackail9350 just keep in mind that there's a good chance your video will get blocked if you play the grammy performance in your reaction video
7:53 the way Lindsey shouted “ahh spacing!”😅 reminded me how my dance teacher when i was teenagers 😭. I’m loving this. Looking forward for their dance practice; ✅ Fake Love ✅ DNA ✅ Boy With Luv ✅ Danger …(𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴😅)
Loved it! 💜 The music video, this choreography is pure art. Jimin's body control is insane, so light and at the same time so precise that it feels like the movement of water and something very interesting is that even the members who don't consider themselves so strong in dance do an amazing job in performing the choreography. Can't wait for BTS's next reactions! Suggestions: ON Kinect Manifesto Film, Fake Love, Dyonisus at MMA 2019 and Dynamite at MMA 2020 (in this presentation they changed the original coreo and created a break dance in honor of MJ and it was freaking amazing).
I feel like anyone who is just starting to get into K-Pop is in for a treat. If you’ve only consumed western entertainment, K-Pop would feel very fresh and very well made, so satisfying to watch.
It's funny to see how bts makes people step up their game, eg Western artists, and men, eg YT reactors, start grooming themselves and wearing makeup and make their hair slicker or start coloring their hair
@@SY-fp6ng urgh i hate it when people call k-pop idols fags for wearing make up and being well dressed. Men in showbiz all over the world have been wearing makeup for God knows how long. And all Korean men went/are going to the military which these guys would probably not survive in.
This is so true. Seeing BTS perform as someone from the US (who never even really liked pop music!!) BLEW MY MIND. And here I am three years later about to see them live in person for the third and fourth time 😌💜
It's fun to watch these insights to better understand how amazing our boys are. And it's so obvious to me and she's getting more critical out of love. Welcome to ARMY!
You also have to keep in mind, that the dance formations are usually centered around who is singing, not who is the stronger dancer. That is why they are always changing- to get the singer, front and center.
yes I know that :) I am actually a performer/singer too and work with artist that I build their shows. The main singer at that moment always needs to be the focus so they will always be front and center while they sing bc that's their verse and moment etc but just from a dance position not dealing w singing that's how choreographers work it. And in that moment of them being center while they sing they don't have to be the best dancer or even fit in with them in the danced bc in that moment they are supposed to be the focus so sometimes we will have them do something completely diff than the others in that time too
It’s important to also know that they do have official positions in the group, just like RM is the “Leader”. Jungkook is the “Main Vocalist” and official “Center” (meaning he is usually in the Center the most throughout all of their choreographies). Their choreographer, Son Songdeuk, said “Jungkook is the most talented” and has “great power and strength” and he also said it is important to have an “official Center” because it helps to “give balance and a solid vibe to the team”. 💜 Of course they are all amazingly talented! One of the wonderful things about BTS is that they give each member their moments to shine in every song and in every choreography! 💜 Please react to the MMA 2020 performance of “Black Swan”, “An Introduction to the 7 members of BTS 2021 update” by Ida S, and their “Carpool Karaoke” episode! 😊💜
Your insights are so cool, I don't usually like reaction channels but your comments are so interesting! You bring something more to the video, so even I get to learn stuff about BTS and I've been watching them for years! Thank you! You should definitely watch more of their dance practices, they're amazing!
The fact that they can dance rap and sing live and control there breathing all at once is just amazing it’s like patting your head while rubbing your stomach in a circular motion and running laps and trying to speak 😭😭😭
Love your reactions and breakdowns and yeah u should definitely check out their Grammy performance.... it is insane. Just one thing to note is that Jin had to sit out of most of the choreography because he had surgery on his hand and had to have a cast on.
@@lindseymackail9350 can't wait :). I saw their vlive and they said bc of limited practice time, they went into it with high risk, sometimes they nailed one part and not the other and one of them thought their odds were 60/40, another thought they did it better at rehearsal. They are happy w their performance, they did what they wanted to do.
Please also react to boy meets evil from j-hope, he's the dance leader of the group and absolutely skilled in dancing (he was a member of a famous street dance group in korea before joining bts, he's genius 💜) Btw love your reactions and the insight you're giving us 😍
I'm reacting to your reaction in the comments LOL ... I'm loving everything you're catching. I love when you talk about being able to "see" those who are feeling the dance! There are three dancers (Hobi, Jimin, and JK) who are "trained" and who I would call dancers. The others, while they can move and always bring it and work hard at their craft, are what I'd call, "singers who are dancing", if that makes sense? Their transitions and formations keep things moving and keep your eyes glued to the screen - this is indicative of kpop choreo. That slow-mo then HIT, especially because they're doing it turn, is so effective. Of course you're meant to watch the center person but the blocking is so amazing. Ok so that entry of the other 6 when Suga has his rap solo (around the 7 minute mark in your video), that area that you said they were "off" and lost you - I'm surprised a lot of choreographers have mentioned this because it's not meant to be on time and in sync. This is a throwback to the entry of swans in the actual ballet Swan Lake so they arrive in a wave, as swans. One of the things that makes BTS - and kpop in general - super special is that they are trained to incorporate dance and voice at super professional levels. I knew you'd love this dance practice video and am so glad you reacted!
I know exactly what you mean lol. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment ;) I know that the entry was supposed to be in a wave....and it was, it just still didn't look sharp enough for me tempo or rhythm wise between the guys.... the wave just looked a bit off and not as dynamic as it could have been in that moment...it cld have been anything that causes that to happen a half second stumble or going too high or low too quickly compare to the others. It was just not a strong moment for me bc it could have been tighter is all.
@@lindseymackail9350 now I remember how RM stumbled while doing that part and the others followed behind him like a domino when they recorded one of their Black Swan performances.. it's hilarious cause RM is known to be clumsy
I agree with Lindsey on this one, it's clear it's meant to be a ripple up and then back down, before they spin into the formation. Ripples extremely difficult to get right, and this one (two!) didn't quite mesh. You can tell the boys probably agreed, because it was cleaned up a lot after this in time for the Feb 27, 2020 Comeback Stage live performance of Black Swan, around 2:50 on the Mnet video. Since they fixed it, it's pretty clear that it was a rough spot for them that they then cleaned it up for when it counts- the show! For anyone counting at home, that's under a month away from this practice video, and even that small amount of time they show immense polishing and refinement from this dance practice video.
@@octo448 love your comment, thank you! I just want to clarify that I wasn't saying it's meant to be messy. Lindsay stated it was off and not in sync, but not that she knew it was a ripple so I wanted to point out that that's what it was incase she wasn't aware (silly, I know, since she's a dance LOL). Since this is a practice video it won't be clean, unlike the MNET "lives" that are filmed over and over until it's as perfect as it can be. You're so right, they put in so much work since this practice to get it polished and refined and the PTD On Stage performance of this is crazy to see live!
Yes, it was a Brazilian like me, who did the choreography, his name is Sergio Reis, he did a great job and the boys rocked as always, one of the best choreographies of the group, another one I love and from "Blood, sweet & tears". All that's left to do is Black Swan's reaction on the PDT Show, on stage, the most beautiful, I'm sure you'll love Lindsay too.
Thank you, Lindsey. I enjoyed your comments. I think, apart from Jimin, they were not used to this kind of choreography or dancing barefoot, but they worked very hard on it as usual, and got a great result.
bts' choreo is even better when you know what the lyrics are alongside the movements! also the center shifts to match whoever is singing/rapping in that part of the song :D
I'm definitely in the "I know it works but I have no idea why" camp so your analyses are exactly the kind I love! You describe moves clearly, illustrating technical terms either yourself or with the video, and explain what they contribute to that particular section of music. Thank you! 💜 I'll add yet another request for BTS's Grammy performance - the amount of prop work is *insane* for a live performance, even without taking into consideration an unfamiliar stage and their shortened rehearsal time due to illness and injury.
I personally think their performance of Black Swan at James Corden was the strongest - and the choreo was even more on point. Tiny stage, but they worked it. At it was the first performance of Black Swan.
BTW. I think you'd love watching their Grammy performance from 2022 - dubbed best performance of the night from Billboard, and 13th best performance EVER at the Grammy's by Rolling Stone's magazine to name a few.
Please watch their Butter performance at the 2022 Grammys. It received a standing ovation and is ranked as the best performance of the night (out of 16 performances) by Billboard and WSJ. Mind-blowing and mes-me-ri-zing.
Just in case anyone is curious about how to pronounce the choreographer's name, Reis is similar to Heys. In Portuguese, when "R" is the first letter of a word, it sounds like "H".
Thank you for this reaction! This choreo is so beautiful and really fits Jimin's style perfectly! J-Hope (the guy with the hat and the T-Shirt tucked in at the front) is the other main dancer and the dance leader of the group. He is so incredibly talented, he's my favourite dancer and my favourite person to watch. I think it's really awesome how they have such different styles within the group but they still work perfectly together. These guys have trained millions of hours together since their career started, so it's no wonder they're so in synch haha
I'm sorry, I still don't know. Is that like "ray-iz", "rice", "race", "ray-iss"? I'm unsure of the hat accent sound, whether the S is closer to Snake or Zebra, or if the I has a sound.
@@WonderingWildWanderingRose It’s like "ray-iss", I’m Brazilian, my ideia of sound my differ a little from yours. But that what I think it is. Reis is actually the plural of king in Portuguese.
Loving your reactions! We need more choreo reactors. One suggestion - captions! So much of their dance is interpreting the song. I know it’s a lot to take in but the lyrics will give you so much insight into the movement. Black Swan is literally a song about their fear of losing their passion for creating music. The inspiration is a quote of a dancer about a ‘dancer’s first death’ (when they stop dancing). Love watching your journey!
Always love your reactions and breakdowns. Would love to see your reaction to their Grammy performance, note that Jin had to sit out most of the performance due to his injury, but join them at the end. And Hi Murphy!!!
i strongly encourage you to react to the "ON" dance practice it is in my opinion some of their best choreography and i promise you will be blown away by the energy and beauty of it
Love your comments as it reminds me of my days as a dance captain of a performance team. This is how I came to BTS I found a dance practice video! It’s still my fave way to watch them.
What I love about their formation as they dance is the person singing will always be in the middle so you know who is singing/rapping and it makes it easier for the audience to spot where the singing coming from.
Jimin is trained in contemporary, J Hope is the leader dancer, he dances hip hop great and Jung Kook is a genius who can do everything great. The rest dances great too but this three are the best... they are the 3J unit
BTS dance practice videos are so satisfying to watch, in a way even better than MVs or live performances because the camera captures the whole without constantly panning in or out, which can be sooooo frustrating. Jimin is a dance genius, the most versatile and expressive dancer in the group. Jhope loves to free style, has no bones to speak of and is the one that learns the choreo the fastest so usually helps out the others, hence his title dance leader. JK loves to dance, period. He is a very sharp and powerful dancer. V has the best facial expressions while dancing and the most expressive hand movements after Jimin. RM and Suga both have the groove and the rhythm and are actually really good dancers. Jin is the one with the least experience and not really any rhythm to speak of but my goodness, through cheer hard work, he is able to not only keep up with the rest but does a stellar job. So impressed by him!
BTS makes a lot of truly inspiring art-be it choreography, music, lyrics, videos, live performances and who they are as human beings. It’s lovely to know how they’ve inspired you. 💜 Keep in mind that as RM and Suga were starting out, they were told that they didn’t have to dance because they were recruited for their rapping and producing, and Jin didn’t have any dance background-he auditioned to be an actor; and V didn’t even plan on auditioning as he was just accompanying his friend to the audition. It gives hope to aspiring dancers like me that with hard work and training, you can be a great dancer. There are probably other groups with “tighter” dances, but BTS has reached the level of success where they are because they’re the total package-they’re not only charismatic, talented performers but they’re also extraordinary human beings with genuine hearts. Their art and journey have healed and inspired so many people, and that’s why they have such a huge, devoted following. That said, their live performances and dance practices are a fantastic rabbit hole to fall into. IMHO BTS has a lot more “tighter” (and fun!) choreography in their early days. Some of my favorite “tight” dance practices are - Danger - Spring Day (this one moved me to tears, especially if you know the meaning behind the lyrics) - Blood, Sweat and Tears - We Are Bulletproof pt. 2 (they were still “babies” here!) Some of their fun/funny dance practices are: - Go Go (halloween version) - Baepsae In their more recent work, you might want to check out their live performance of ON at the Grand Central Terminal in Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show. There are so many more gems that I hope you stumble upon, and that’s the beauty of the BTS rabbit hole. Watching other people’s reactions makes me appreciate things I haven’t noticed before, and it grows and deepens my love for this phenomenal, once-in-an-epoch type of group 💜
These men are amazing. I’m sure if we were watching a dance practice we could find things that weren’t perfect but it’s a lot easier to criticize then to actually perform with seven members so beautifully.
I appreciate that you watched the mv first before diving into the practice. In kpop, everything stems from the music video... it's where the concept is brought to life, it gives context to the choreography and it's where you get the storyline if there is one. While live stages and practices are important to see (particularly if you're wanting to dissect the choreo), its all a mere reflection of the music video and the overall picture. Labels pour so much of their resources and creative choices into these little 3-4 min works of art, it always feels so wrong when reactors skip them for just the lives or practices.
love how you explained the technique and your honest opinion about their choreo...it's only jimin who has a formal training in dancing being a contemporary student in his school in busan and was the only one given a special award by cultural conservation society in korea for his fan dance during melon music award back in 2018...but all the members was trained for 2 yrs in dancing and singing before they debut in 2013...they're all good at it now...love the boys! enjoy your journey with bts...💜💜💜
I loooove their formation changes so so much as their leveled moves (?), that's why I love a good ol' fixed camera. You'll appreciate their Comeback Trailers and probably I Need U and Butterfly and Spring Day and... well, a lot xD
What I like about her reactions is that she isn’t afraid to point out some of the members mistakes instead of hiding her thoughts like some other reactor’s listening to BTS.
The fact you said they’re breathing together made me think yes it does makes sense since they’ve been dancing and practicing dancing together for so long. They’ve become one bc they’re so synchronized.
Yes I love your analysis!! I know close to nothing about dancing, so watching videos like this and seeing it from a professional pov always gives me one more thing that I can love about their dances!!
Thank you for this reaction! I love watching a breakdown on their choreography. Black Swan has always been my favourite since it came out, both the song and the dance, and watching this made me happy. I love how you pointed out that they even breathed together. I think they already mentioned how even the vocal tone was made so that it would seem as if they are singing as one person to show how united they are but hearing this fact makes it even better
I love how much you teach us about the choreography side of things and I'm so happy it's moved you so much you're learning and teaching it! Definitely subscribing for more.
You truly truly truly need to react to the ON Dance Practice which took place in this same rehearsal space. They were only in LA and in that time they performed at the Grammys, they filmed 3 MV's and 2 dance full practices, and more. We were all in awe when they finally released everything. They work so hard.
I really like your videos because it's evident the grade of professionalism and respect that you to them with. Also, I love hearing and learning about the technical stuff! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you very much for this, and I appreciate you paying tribute to the choreographer. Hearing your thoughts as a choreographer was fascinating and brought out new things to aprpreciate.
I really enjoy your breakdowns! I really love a different perspective to appreciate BTS. I love that you watch their facial expressions and breathing! I'm learning a lot about dance honestly! Thank you!
Just want to mention that two of the members were dancers before they joined the company: J hope, he is also the dance leader of the group and more towards hip hop style of dancing. Jimin who people mentioned a lot, he learned modern dance in high school. The other members learned dancing after they joined the company. Which doesn’t make much of a difference since they were all super young when they joined and are professionally trained. Also the official dance line consists of Jimin, Jhope, Jungkook and V.
"They're even breathing together." - I have to say, your attention to every detail far exceeds mine when watching them perform. I'd never think to focus on their breathing.
Thank you. It's just something that evolves during rehearsals and can bring it to the next level and they do it well. I have experienced what It is like to breathe together as a group and it's another chemistry vibe for sure. Its a pretty cool experience too when you're in it
I just watched all your BTS reaction and thank you for pointing out the not-so-obvious/subtle imperfections from choreographer’s perspective. I never noticed those things. I think because they’re perfect in my book. 😀 Borahae 💜
They really are still perfect ;) I will point out the not so obvious stuff but you're right, that's my purpose as a choreographer. Their small imperfections are perfect still ;)
I really enjoy watching your reactions because it's not only "wow, it's good", but you have very intresting thoughts and insights so I can learn something. Good work! I am waiting for more!
BTS’ choreography is what ultimately made me a fan. 💜 They have a wonderful team working with them and it has shown from the beginning with their 2013 debut.
you have to react to the live performance of black swan during the concert permission to dance, it has an unforgettable intro, just like the intro of the 2020 MMA where it is an orchestra version
I believe this is the practice for their James Corden tv guesting. Their performance there is mighty fine and one of the best BTS tv performances in the US. :) Hope you check it out so you can see how that dance practice morphed into a great tv moment. :)
Hi!! I saw you on Beards, Booze, Bands & BS. Thank you SO MUCH for REACTING to BTS 💜 I found them through my daughter, she and my mom enjoyed them. Mom loved Namjoon (RM) 🤭 and my daughter is a Jimin bias 🤦🏻♀️. We suddenly lost my mom January 2020 and then 62 days later and even more suddenly lost my son. BTS found me when I needed them just, PERSONA and Love Yourself, Magic Shop, have got me through the past 2 years…. They have so much content. And I’ve now seen them live. If you ever get a change to see them GOOOOO! I am ARMY. And Lindsey, if you don’t know it yet….so are YOU!! Music is such a huge part of life. As a kid dancing school was a extracurricular activity for me, however I didn’t stick with it and it is a huge regret. BTS has opened a part of my soul that was and is in desperate need of culture, humanity, love and respect. Girl I can’t wait to see what else you discover, and honestly, I’m totally checking out your other reaction videos now…. You know your shit, lol. If you see me cruising on I4 raise a FINGER HEART! 🤣 #7koreanboysfor7weekdays
Hi Erin!! Thanks of much for this and yesss my fellow dancer friend. Once a dancer always a dancer ;) and so glad to hear they impacted you that way!! I love them too and thanks for the kind words lol I hope I know my shit by now ;) Raise up on I4!! x0x0x0
The reason they dont stop changing the formations its because they all sing and when one of them is singing its always in the middle, and then the next one singing takes the middle space, you are going to see that in every kpop group :) I really like your videos, i like to know more about dancing its interesting the points that you talk, i wiiish i could learn to dance like that n.n and i would like to see videos of how to learn their coreos..
I want to thank you for being honest Lindsay and still being respectful of their work. Like you can make a comment on where someone needs to correct something without making it sound harsh or hateful. I love seeing things that I have missed or misunderstood. It makes me sad when people talk about the negatives in a way that makes it seems like some members are just awful and don’t deserve to be there(& then I get yelled out that I’m upset because I just don’t like the negative🤦♀️) when I’m just saying that tone of voice and phrasing can really make the diff between constructive and mean., imo. Anyway sorry for my rant. Love your channel already 💜
No need to be sorry, you are absolutely correct! It's not always what you say, it's the way it is said that makes the impact. I have worked with tons of Professionals and young kids....my goal as their coach is to help them to be their best on all levels of dancing and performing and that goes with their confidence too. It all runs together and my job and passion is to inspire my students and clients and not only help them to be great but also to have confidence and passion. If I am not properly delivering a correction or message from a place of love and empowerment, then I am not helping them to grow and grow w confidence.
It’s important to know that they do have official positions in the group, just like RM is the “Leader”. Jungkook is the “Main Vocalist” and official “Center” (meaning he is usually in the Center the most throughout all of their choreographies). Their choreographer, Son Songdeuk, said “Jungkook is the most talented” and has “great power and strength” and he also said it is important to have an “official Center” because it helps to “give balance and a solid vibe to the team”. 💜 The official “dance line” of BTS is called “3J”: J-Hope, Jimin, and Jungkook. (They did a dance to the “Butter remix”, please react to it!) Of course they are all amazingly talented! One of the wonderful things about BTS is that they give each member their moments to shine in every song and in every choreography! 💜 Please react to the MMA 2020 performance of “Black Swan”, BTS “ON Kinetic Manifesto”, “An Introduction to the 7 members of BTS 2021 update” by Ida S, and their “Carpool Karaoke” episode! 😊💜
Thank you for reacting to BTS. I wanted to make a suggestion if its ok. There is a quick dance video for the Butter video. Its 3 J dancing to the Megan the stallion rap part of the video. It is very short but really good and it shows only 3 members dancing. It is worth a look.
I loved your reaction. Especially for the dance practices I'm not really looking for "perfection" because they are still just practices. It's kind of fun in itself to spot the goofs and bloopers. We know how hard they work and that they will be giving every bit of their efforts for their performances. On the other hand, I find it a mark of professionalism how a performer recovers from the inevitable mishaps that happen during live performances. I think that's one major reason to have practiced so much to have muscle memory. Smooth as they are, as practiced as they are, BTS is a group of Professionals.
Agreed!! We are human and we all have/had moments on stage where we have things happen and a true professional will be sooo good at fixing it most people won't even notice it lol. I tell my students never let your face "show" you messed up...as long as you keep smiling and performing and not looking like "oh crap I messed up" all over your face people usually won't even notice.
A prime example of that was when they debuted Black Swan live for the 1st time on the James Corden show..in a much smaller space than they'd been used to. When it got to the floor part you liked Lindsey, where they kick out a back leg after the body rocking, V full on kicked J-Hope in the head! He said afterwards the pain made him feel faint, but all you notice is him slightly re-adjusting his headmic & going straight into the next bit of choreo- such a professional (poor V said he was so nervous he didn't even realise what he'd done!) Again, when you watch the Grammy performance there's a bit where Hobi misses his step on the stairs but recovers so well that a few reactors I've watched haven't even picked up on it & commented. I love his & Jimin's dancing so much- different styles & backgrounds (Hobi has been dancing hip hop since he was 10) but both so accomplished (if you don't know by now, they were the two doing the duet in your earlier vid, where Jimin was the one blindfolded). I'm loving your assessments & looking forward to more!
I’m late to the party but this was a great reaction. As a former dancer, this dance practice was what made me ARMY - their line, the depth of their movement, the story the choreography as a whole tells…. It’s just gorgeous and there was no going back when I saw this! 💜💜

Also take note of some of the movements ( isolation, the technical terms, I think). They usually reflect the lyrics of the songs.
That moment that you like, the English translation
"Heartbeat pulsing slow in my ears
Bump, bump, bump
Trying to escape with no avail
Jump, jump, jump
No song affects me anymore
Crying out a silent cry"
It must be hell to do choreo for Kpop groups for this very reason😆😆 I’m never NOT amazed by it 🥹
Lindsey Jin, RM, and Suga were not dancers when they started. Suga complained that he was tricked...he was told no dancing or singing (I think RM too). They've had to learn to dance from scratch. Sometimes they aren't as fluid or expressive in their dance as Hobi, Jimin or Jungkook. Props to them and their dance teachers...
Still Thinking Through the Choreo 💜
I agree, they worked so hard to elevate to such a great level and they blend in so well. They are dancers to me regardless of how long. They def have that title ;)
You left out V. He was not a dancer either. I believe after his solo video for Singularity & it’s choreography he was made part of the dance line as well. Jimin also has his own dance break performing at the end of Black Swan at one of their online concert which is amazing. Their transition from Blue & Gray to Black Swan at PTD concerts is breathtaking.
If you watch American Hustle Life, the second program following their Debut, they struggle with Rapping, Singing, and Dancing and express their insecurities. Its Brilliant seeing them Now 💜
Omg you have to watch black swan's live performance in their latest concert "permission to dance on stage"! It's sooo beautiful
Yes please! they've added an intro section there with additional dancers
oh yes
Lindsey, I know you're mainly here to react and analyze their dancing, I think to really appreciate BTS, their songs, the choreo... you have to see them perform this live, while they're singing too. Especially this one, at the PTD concert, their latest.
yes yes!!!!!
yesss!! i get goosebumps everytime I see that choreo! definitely one of the best! 🔥🔥🔥
I strongly recommen you to react to "On" rehearsal practice which they recorded the same day... Totally different style and way bigger scale (whole lot of backup dancers) I think it will blow your mind
Are you talking about the behind the scenes footage on bangtan tv?
th-cam.com/video/VkuEzN8IS_o/w-d-xo.html 👍👍👍 that's the one
I love the fact that you're actually making us notice things we probably wouldn't have seen, with no need for sugarcoating, that's what I love about your reactions. They're genuine and informative and it makes us appreciate even more the process they're going through before the live performance. Thank you!
Thank you for that B. It feel great to know I can point out things maybe people missed :)
loved your breakdown! you saying that they're even breathing together really shook me for some reason lmao, I guess it makes sense that they would synch up like that after practicing so much, but I'd never thought about it before. also thank you for rewinding to show the clips, it was definitely really helpful for understanding 💜
I see a lot of people recommending you react to their grammys performance from sunday & I agree! one of their members, Jin, has a hand injury so he didn't dance for half the song. also, some of the members had to isolate for COVID, so iirc they only had 1 day for all the group members to practice the final choreography together. after the show, they said that during practice they weren't able to do a certain move correctly more than like 1/3 of the time. it was a high risk performance for them lmao, would love to see your analysis on how they did all things considering!
Im glad the breathing thing shook you. Its actually a pretty cool feeling when you really start jelling with people while dancing and just like singers we learn where we need to breathe and there is a big difference in a person inhaling than exhaling even in body movement so when you start wanting to look as one and rehearse to be so in sync, you start to go through the choreo and learn where to breathe to save your stamina, and also how to look even more like one. It also creates this energy together....kinda hard to explain bc its a feeling but I hope Im making sense ;) lol
I will get on the Grammys!! I didn't know all that info tho so thank you
@@lindseymackail9350 I'm betting you'll need to edit your screen capture of the Grammy performance(if you use the broadcast video) somehow so that it doesn't get blocked. Some make it look somewhat transparent, some have a message across the screen, etc. Just some suggestions since I know this is new to you.
@@lindseymackail9350 just keep in mind that there's a good chance your video will get blocked if you play the grammy performance in your reaction video
PLEASE WATCH BTS BUTTER GRAMMYS PERFORMANCE IT WAS CRAZY ! the dance break was insane
YES
When the dance break began omfg… My jaw was on the floor
On it!! x0x0x0 Can't wait 😝
7:53 the way Lindsey shouted “ahh spacing!”😅 reminded me how my dance teacher when i was teenagers 😭. I’m loving this. Looking forward for their dance practice;
✅ Fake Love
✅ DNA
✅ Boy With Luv
✅ Danger
…(𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴😅)
Loved it! 💜 The music video, this choreography is pure art. Jimin's body control is insane, so light and at the same time so precise that it feels like the movement of water and something very interesting is that even the members who don't consider themselves so strong in dance do an amazing job in performing the choreography. Can't wait for BTS's next reactions! Suggestions: ON Kinect Manifesto Film, Fake Love, Dyonisus at MMA 2019 and Dynamite at MMA 2020 (in this presentation they changed the original coreo and created a break dance in honor of MJ and it was freaking amazing).
And equally important, I love how Jimin always feels the dance and gives us all the emotions as well. 😍🥰
I feel like anyone who is just starting to get into K-Pop is in for a treat. If you’ve only consumed western entertainment, K-Pop would feel very fresh and very well made, so satisfying to watch.
It's funny to see how bts makes people step up their game, eg Western artists, and men, eg YT reactors, start grooming themselves and wearing makeup and make their hair slicker or start coloring their hair
@@SY-fp6ng urgh i hate it when people call k-pop idols fags for wearing make up and being well dressed. Men in showbiz all over the world have been wearing makeup for God knows how long. And all Korean men went/are going to the military which these guys would probably not survive in.
This is so true. Seeing BTS perform as someone from the US (who never even really liked pop music!!) BLEW MY MIND.
And here I am three years later about to see them live in person for the third and fourth time 😌💜
It's fun to watch these insights to better understand how amazing our boys are. And it's so obvious to me and she's getting more critical out of love. Welcome to ARMY!
yes yes always with love ;)
You also have to keep in mind, that the dance formations are usually centered around who is singing, not who is the stronger dancer. That is why they are always changing- to get the singer, front and center.
yes I know that :) I am actually a performer/singer too and work with artist that I build their shows. The main singer at that moment always needs to be the focus so they will always be front and center while they sing bc that's their verse and moment etc but just from a dance position not dealing w singing that's how choreographers work it. And in that moment of them being center while they sing they don't have to be the best dancer or even fit in with them in the danced bc in that moment they are supposed to be the focus so sometimes we will have them do something completely diff than the others in that time too
It’s important to also know that they do have official positions in the group, just like RM is the “Leader”. Jungkook is the “Main Vocalist” and official “Center” (meaning he is usually in the Center the most throughout all of their choreographies). Their choreographer, Son Songdeuk, said “Jungkook is the most talented” and has “great power and strength” and he also said it is important to have an “official Center” because it helps to “give balance and a solid vibe to the team”. 💜 Of course they are all amazingly talented! One of the wonderful things about BTS is that they give each member their moments to shine in every song and in every choreography! 💜 Please react to the MMA 2020 performance of “Black Swan”, “An Introduction to the 7 members of BTS 2021 update” by Ida S, and their “Carpool Karaoke” episode! 😊💜
Your insights are so cool, I don't usually like reaction channels but your comments are so interesting! You bring something more to the video, so even I get to learn stuff about BTS and I've been watching them for years! Thank you! You should definitely watch more of their dance practices, they're amazing!
Thank you Cassie! So glad I can help bring insight to a group you already love ;) I will get into their practices for sure x0x0
I love your comments on BTS's choreography, you have to see Jimin's Serendipity live.
The fact that they can dance rap and sing live and control there breathing all at once is just amazing it’s like patting your head while rubbing your stomach in a circular motion and running laps and trying to speak 😭😭😭
You have to watch the “Behind” of JIMIN doing the solo dancing cutaways in the video. Amazing.
Love your reactions and breakdowns and yeah u should definitely check out their Grammy performance.... it is insane. Just one thing to note is that Jin had to sit out of most of the choreography because he had surgery on his hand and had to have a cast on.
wow I didn't know that! He is amazing lol. I will be putting up my grammy reaction soon :) x0x0
@@lindseymackail9350 can't wait :). I saw their vlive and they said bc of limited practice time, they went into it with high risk, sometimes they nailed one part and not the other and one of them thought their odds were 60/40, another thought they did it better at rehearsal. They are happy w their performance, they did what they wanted to do.
Lauren what a great breakdown as always! You HAVE TO HAVE TO watch behind the scenes shooting of Black Swan with Jimin's solo parts. It's magical
Please also react to boy meets evil from j-hope, he's the dance leader of the group and absolutely skilled in dancing (he was a member of a famous street dance group in korea before joining bts, he's genius 💜)
Btw love your reactions and the insight you're giving us 😍
I'm reacting to your reaction in the comments LOL ... I'm loving everything you're catching. I love when you talk about being able to "see" those who are feeling the dance! There are three dancers (Hobi, Jimin, and JK) who are "trained" and who I would call dancers. The others, while they can move and always bring it and work hard at their craft, are what I'd call, "singers who are dancing", if that makes sense? Their transitions and formations keep things moving and keep your eyes glued to the screen - this is indicative of kpop choreo. That slow-mo then HIT, especially because they're doing it turn, is so effective. Of course you're meant to watch the center person but the blocking is so amazing. Ok so that entry of the other 6 when Suga has his rap solo (around the 7 minute mark in your video), that area that you said they were "off" and lost you - I'm surprised a lot of choreographers have mentioned this because it's not meant to be on time and in sync. This is a throwback to the entry of swans in the actual ballet Swan Lake so they arrive in a wave, as swans. One of the things that makes BTS - and kpop in general - super special is that they are trained to incorporate dance and voice at super professional levels. I knew you'd love this dance practice video and am so glad you reacted!
I know exactly what you mean lol. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment ;)
I know that the entry was supposed to be in a wave....and it was, it just still didn't look sharp enough for me tempo or rhythm wise between the guys.... the wave just looked a bit off and not as dynamic as it could have been in that moment...it cld have been anything that causes that to happen a half second stumble or going too high or low too quickly compare to the others. It was just not a strong moment for me bc it could have been tighter is all.
@@lindseymackail9350 now I remember how RM stumbled while doing that part and the others followed behind him like a domino when they recorded one of their Black Swan performances.. it's hilarious cause RM is known to be clumsy
I agree with Lindsey on this one, it's clear it's meant to be a ripple up and then back down, before they spin into the formation. Ripples extremely difficult to get right, and this one (two!) didn't quite mesh. You can tell the boys probably agreed, because it was cleaned up a lot after this in time for the Feb 27, 2020 Comeback Stage live performance of Black Swan, around 2:50 on the Mnet video. Since they fixed it, it's pretty clear that it was a rough spot for them that they then cleaned it up for when it counts- the show!
For anyone counting at home, that's under a month away from this practice video, and even that small amount of time they show immense polishing and refinement from this dance practice video.
@@octo448 love your comment, thank you! I just want to clarify that I wasn't saying it's meant to be messy. Lindsay stated it was off and not in sync, but not that she knew it was a ripple so I wanted to point out that that's what it was incase she wasn't aware (silly, I know, since she's a dance LOL). Since this is a practice video it won't be clean, unlike the MNET "lives" that are filmed over and over until it's as perfect as it can be. You're so right, they put in so much work since this practice to get it polished and refined and the PTD On Stage performance of this is crazy to see live!
Yes, it was a Brazilian like me, who did the choreography, his name is Sergio Reis, he did a great job and the boys rocked as always, one of the best choreographies of the group, another one I love and from "Blood, sweet & tears". All that's left to do is Black Swan's reaction on the PDT Show, on stage, the most beautiful, I'm sure you'll love Lindsay too.
My favorite choreo from them still is fake love, so absolutely recommending that one.
I think you would really enjoy the making of Black Swan MV, there is more of Jimin's solo work in it as well. 😘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you, Lindsey. I enjoyed your comments. I think, apart from Jimin, they were not used to this kind of choreography or dancing barefoot, but they worked very hard on it as usual, and got a great result.
bts' choreo is even better when you know what the lyrics are alongside the movements! also the center shifts to match whoever is singing/rapping in that part of the song :D
I really recommend watching jimins solo behind the scenes for this because he looked so graceful and beautiful and it's just amazing
I need your reaction to Dionysus please! The coreo is amazing, another level!!
You should definitely do Blood Sweat & Tears dance practice, and if you’re reacting to Jimin definitely do a Serendipity fancam 💜
I'm definitely in the "I know it works but I have no idea why" camp so your analyses are exactly the kind I love! You describe moves clearly, illustrating technical terms either yourself or with the video, and explain what they contribute to that particular section of music. Thank you! 💜 I'll add yet another request for BTS's Grammy performance - the amount of prop work is *insane* for a live performance, even without taking into consideration an unfamiliar stage and their shortened rehearsal time due to illness and injury.
So glad to hear this Sarah!! xoxoxo
There's soooo many kpop groups who have amazing choreographies, but for now I recommend reacting to BTS' Fire, Dope and Bulletproof pt. 2
I really love professionals reacting to bts coz it shows more how professional they are and their years work paying off. Thank you for this~
Black Swan deserved all the awards 🥺
I personally think their performance of Black Swan at James Corden was the strongest - and the choreo was even more on point. Tiny stage, but they worked it. At it was the first performance of Black Swan.
BTW. I think you'd love watching their Grammy performance from 2022 - dubbed best performance of the night from Billboard, and 13th best performance EVER at the Grammy's by Rolling Stone's magazine to name a few.
Agreed! I absolutely loved that james cordon performance, has always been my favorite💜💜💜
Please watch their Butter performance at the 2022 Grammys. It received a standing ovation and is ranked as the best performance of the night (out of 16 performances) by Billboard and WSJ. Mind-blowing and mes-me-ri-zing.
Just in case anyone is curious about how to pronounce the choreographer's name, Reis is similar to Heys.
In Portuguese, when "R" is the first letter of a word, it sounds like "H".
Thank you for this reaction! This choreo is so beautiful and really fits Jimin's style perfectly! J-Hope (the guy with the hat and the T-Shirt tucked in at the front) is the other main dancer and the dance leader of the group. He is so incredibly talented, he's my favourite dancer and my favourite person to watch. I think it's really awesome how they have such different styles within the group but they still work perfectly together. These guys have trained millions of hours together since their career started, so it's no wonder they're so in synch haha
The behind the scenes of Black swan mv is also dope. The shadows and the Jimin solo behind the scenes everything
Yes, Brazilian choreographer 💜💜
His last name sounds like "Rêis"
🙏🙏
I'm sorry, I still don't know. Is that like "ray-iz", "rice", "race", "ray-iss"? I'm unsure of the hat accent sound, whether the S is closer to Snake or Zebra, or if the I has a sound.
@@WonderingWildWanderingRose It’s like "ray-iss", I’m Brazilian, my ideia of sound my differ a little from yours. But that what I think it is. Reis is actually the plural of king in Portuguese.
@@WonderingWildWanderingRose yeah it has both ways with the S and Z sound and also the I is pronounced. It's pronounced like "Hey"+S
Woow your réaction,so good, pls react go jimin dance solos
Watching jimin's practice is a MUST
You can maybe react to their live Black Swan performance at The Late Late Show with James Corden!
There is a great live performance of this that they did for BTS week on Jimmy Fallon.
Loving your reactions! We need more choreo reactors. One suggestion - captions! So much of their dance is interpreting the song. I know it’s a lot to take in but the lyrics will give you so much insight into the movement. Black Swan is literally a song about their fear of losing their passion for creating music. The inspiration is a quote of a dancer about a ‘dancer’s first death’ (when they stop dancing). Love watching your journey!
Always love your reactions and breakdowns. Would love to see your reaction to their Grammy performance, note that Jin had to sit out most of the performance due to his injury, but join them at the end. And Hi Murphy!!!
i strongly encourage you to react to the "ON" dance practice it is in my opinion some of their best choreography and i promise you will be blown away by the energy and beauty of it
Love your comments as it reminds me of my days as a dance captain of a performance team. This is how I came to BTS I found a dance practice video! It’s still my fave way to watch them.
oh that is cool. Which dance practice? =0]
What I love about their formation as they dance is the person singing will always be in the middle so you know who is singing/rapping and it makes it easier for the audience to spot where the singing coming from.
Jimin is trained in contemporary, J Hope is the leader dancer, he dances hip hop great and Jung Kook is a genius who can do everything great. The rest dances great too but this three are the best... they are the 3J unit
Jimin and Jhope are regarded as the two best male Kpop dancers in the industry.
and i love how they always make it so that the one that's singing is always in the centre of the formation,,,i love that
BTS dance practice videos are so satisfying to watch, in a way even better than MVs or live performances because the camera captures the whole without constantly panning in or out, which can be sooooo frustrating.
Jimin is a dance genius, the most versatile and expressive dancer in the group.
Jhope loves to free style, has no bones to speak of and is the one that learns the choreo the fastest so usually helps out the others, hence his title dance leader.
JK loves to dance, period. He is a very sharp and powerful dancer.
V has the best facial expressions while dancing and the most expressive hand movements after Jimin.
RM and Suga both have the groove and the rhythm and are actually really good dancers.
Jin is the one with the least experience and not really any rhythm to speak of but my goodness, through cheer hard work, he is able to not only keep up with the rest but does a stellar job. So impressed by him!
BTS makes a lot of truly inspiring art-be it choreography, music, lyrics, videos, live performances and who they are as human beings. It’s lovely to know how they’ve inspired you. 💜 Keep in mind that as RM and Suga were starting out, they were told that they didn’t have to dance because they were recruited for their rapping and producing, and Jin didn’t have any dance background-he auditioned to be an actor; and V didn’t even plan on auditioning as he was just accompanying his friend to the audition. It gives hope to aspiring dancers like me that with hard work and training, you can be a great dancer.
There are probably other groups with “tighter” dances, but BTS has reached the level of success where they are because they’re the total package-they’re not only charismatic, talented performers but they’re also extraordinary human beings with genuine hearts. Their art and journey have healed and inspired so many people, and that’s why they have such a huge, devoted following. That said, their live performances and dance practices are a fantastic rabbit hole to fall into.
IMHO BTS has a lot more “tighter” (and fun!) choreography in their early days. Some of my favorite “tight” dance practices are
- Danger
- Spring Day (this one moved me to tears, especially if you know the meaning behind the lyrics)
- Blood, Sweat and Tears
- We Are Bulletproof pt. 2 (they were still “babies” here!)
Some of their fun/funny dance practices are:
- Go Go (halloween version)
- Baepsae
In their more recent work, you might want to check out their live performance of ON at the Grand Central Terminal in Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show.
There are so many more gems that I hope you stumble upon, and that’s the beauty of the BTS rabbit hole. Watching other people’s reactions makes me appreciate things I haven’t noticed before, and it grows and deepens my love for this phenomenal, once-in-an-epoch type of group 💜
These men are amazing. I’m sure if we were watching a dance practice we could find things that weren’t perfect but it’s a lot easier to criticize then to actually perform with seven members so beautifully.
I appreciate that you watched the mv first before diving into the practice. In kpop, everything stems from the music video... it's where the concept is brought to life, it gives context to the choreography and it's where you get the storyline if there is one. While live stages and practices are important to see (particularly if you're wanting to dissect the choreo), its all a mere reflection of the music video and the overall picture. Labels pour so much of their resources and creative choices into these little 3-4 min works of art, it always feels so wrong when reactors skip them for just the lives or practices.
love how you explained the technique and your honest opinion about their choreo...it's only jimin who has a formal training in dancing being a contemporary student in his school in busan and was the only one given a special award by cultural conservation society in korea for his fan dance during melon music award back in 2018...but all the members was trained for 2 yrs in dancing and singing before they debut in 2013...they're all good at it now...love the boys! enjoy your journey with bts...💜💜💜
Pls watch the Jimin's behind the scenes of black swan 💖 Love your reactions
I loooove their formation changes so so much as their leveled moves (?), that's why I love a good ol' fixed camera. You'll appreciate their Comeback Trailers and probably I Need U and Butterfly and Spring Day and... well, a lot xD
What I like about her reactions is that she isn’t afraid to point out some of the members mistakes instead of hiding her thoughts like some other reactor’s listening to BTS.
Loved your reaction and analysis, thank you so much Lindsey 🙏💜
The fact you said they’re breathing together made me think yes it does makes sense since they’ve been dancing and practicing dancing together for so long. They’ve become one bc they’re so synchronized.
Yes I love your analysis!! I know close to nothing about dancing, so watching videos like this and seeing it from a professional pov always gives me one more thing that I can love about their dances!!
Thank you for this reaction! I love watching a breakdown on their choreography. Black Swan has always been my favourite since it came out, both the song and the dance, and watching this made me happy.
I love how you pointed out that they even breathed together. I think they already mentioned how even the vocal tone was made so that it would seem as if they are singing as one person to show how united they are but hearing this fact makes it even better
I’m learning so much, I’m so glad I decided to check you out !!
Clicked so fast! I'm loving your reactions, I've watched a lot of reactions on Black Swan and I still learnt something new. Thank you!
Thank youuuu! xoxoxo🧡🙏
I love how much you teach us about the choreography side of things and I'm so happy it's moved you so much you're learning and teaching it! Definitely subscribing for more.
You truly truly truly need to react to the ON Dance Practice which took place in this same rehearsal space. They were only in LA and in that time they performed at the Grammys, they filmed 3 MV's and 2 dance full practices, and more. We were all in awe when they finally released everything. They work so hard.
I really like your videos because it's evident the grade of professionalism and respect that you to them with. Also, I love hearing and learning about the technical stuff! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
i love your insight i always learn something from your analysis 💜✨ so excited to see what choreo spoke to you!!!
Thank you! Im glad Im able to help you learn something with me speaking about their talents and Choreo 🥰
Thank you very much for this, and I appreciate you paying tribute to the choreographer. Hearing your thoughts as a choreographer was fascinating and brought out new things to aprpreciate.
I really enjoy your breakdowns! I really love a different perspective to appreciate BTS. I love that you watch their facial expressions and breathing! I'm learning a lot about dance honestly! Thank you!
Just want to mention that two of the members were dancers before they joined the company:
J hope, he is also the dance leader of the group and more towards hip hop style of dancing.
Jimin who people mentioned a lot, he learned modern dance in high school.
The other members learned dancing after they joined the company. Which doesn’t make much of a difference since they were all super young when they joined and are professionally trained.
Also the official dance line consists of Jimin, Jhope, Jungkook and V.
omgggg i was just watching your reaction to the mv and was about to ask you to react to this dance practice 😂😂 thank youuuuu, i already love you
🥰🙏💛. Thank you!
It would be great to see your reaction to Enhypen’s ‘Fever’ dance practice! Love how thorough your reactions are! :)
"They're even breathing together." - I have to say, your attention to every detail far exceeds mine when watching them perform. I'd never think to focus on their breathing.
Thank you. It's just something that evolves during rehearsals and can bring it to the next level and they do it well. I have experienced what It is like to breathe together as a group and it's another chemistry vibe for sure. Its a pretty cool experience too when you're in it
my favorite is that the ending is the start but in reverse.
Can you believe that only 2 members of BTS actually danced before joining BTS.
I just watched all your BTS reaction and thank you for pointing out the not-so-obvious/subtle imperfections from choreographer’s perspective. I never noticed those things. I think because they’re perfect in my book. 😀 Borahae 💜
They really are still perfect ;) I will point out the not so obvious stuff but you're right, that's my purpose as a choreographer. Their small imperfections are perfect still ;)
I really enjoy watching your reactions because it's not only "wow, it's good", but you have very intresting thoughts and insights so I can learn something. Good work! I am waiting for more!
And if I can recommend - please see dionysus song (and dance break before) in MMA 2019 :) and maybe Filter? ;)
BTS’ choreography is what ultimately made me a fan. 💜 They have a wonderful team working with them and it has shown from the beginning with their 2013 debut.
you have to react to the live performance of black swan during the concert permission to dance, it has an unforgettable intro, just like the intro of the 2020 MMA where it is an orchestra version
Thank you so much for your reaction. It was so interesting to hear your explanations that help us appreciate the dance even more. 💜
🙏🧡
Thank you for your time in breaking down their choreo, it was fun as usual 👍😁💜
Glad you liked it!!
I believe this is the practice for their James Corden tv guesting. Their performance there is mighty fine and one of the best BTS tv performances in the US. :) Hope you check it out so you can see how that dance practice morphed into a great tv moment. :)
Im loving your channel! Can't wait for more uploads! 💙
Thank you! More to come x0x0
I really enjoy your reactions. I love dance but don't have any technical knowledge or skill so it is really nice to hear your insights.
Hi!! I saw you on Beards, Booze, Bands & BS. Thank you SO MUCH for REACTING to BTS 💜 I found them through my daughter, she and my mom enjoyed them. Mom loved Namjoon (RM) 🤭 and my daughter is a Jimin bias 🤦🏻♀️. We suddenly lost my mom January 2020 and then 62 days later and even more suddenly lost my son. BTS found me when I needed them just, PERSONA and Love Yourself, Magic Shop, have got me through the past 2 years…. They have so much content. And I’ve now seen them live. If you ever get a change to see them GOOOOO! I am ARMY. And Lindsey, if you don’t know it yet….so are YOU!! Music is such a huge part of life. As a kid dancing school was a extracurricular activity for me, however I didn’t stick with it and it is a huge regret. BTS has opened a part of my soul that was and is in desperate need of culture, humanity, love and respect. Girl I can’t wait to see what else you discover, and honestly, I’m totally checking out your other reaction videos now…. You know your shit, lol. If you see me cruising on I4 raise a FINGER HEART! 🤣 #7koreanboysfor7weekdays
Hi Erin!! Thanks of much for this and yesss my fellow dancer friend. Once a dancer always a dancer ;) and so glad to hear they impacted you that way!! I love them too and thanks for the kind words lol I hope I know my shit by now ;) Raise up on I4!! x0x0x0
Omg I love your reaction and breakdown! So precise! Subbed and notifications on🙏💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks for subbing! xoxoxo
It's nice to hear ypur breakdown and insights about this. 🥰
The reason they dont stop changing the formations its because they all sing and when one of them is singing its always in the middle, and then the next one singing takes the middle space, you are going to see that in every kpop group :)
I really like your videos, i like to know more about dancing its interesting the points that you talk, i wiiish i could learn to dance like that n.n and i would like to see videos of how to learn their coreos..
I want to thank you for being honest Lindsay and still being respectful of their work. Like you can make a comment on where someone needs to correct something without making it sound harsh or hateful. I love seeing things that I have missed or misunderstood. It makes me sad when people talk about the negatives in a way that makes it seems like some members are just awful and don’t deserve to be there(& then I get yelled out that I’m upset because I just don’t like the negative🤦♀️) when I’m just saying that tone of voice and phrasing can really make the diff between constructive and mean., imo. Anyway sorry for my rant. Love your channel already 💜
No need to be sorry, you are absolutely correct! It's not always what you say, it's the way it is said that makes the impact. I have worked with tons of Professionals and young kids....my goal as their coach is to help them to be their best on all levels of dancing and performing and that goes with their confidence too. It all runs together and my job and passion is to inspire my students and clients and not only help them to be great but also to have confidence and passion. If I am not properly delivering a correction or message from a place of love and empowerment, then I am not helping them to grow and grow w confidence.
Thank you Lindsey
It’s important to know that they do have official positions in the group, just like RM is the “Leader”. Jungkook is the “Main Vocalist” and official “Center” (meaning he is usually in the Center the most throughout all of their choreographies). Their choreographer, Son Songdeuk, said “Jungkook is the most talented” and has “great power and strength” and he also said it is important to have an “official Center” because it helps to “give balance and a solid vibe to the team”. 💜 The official “dance line” of BTS is called “3J”: J-Hope, Jimin, and Jungkook. (They did a dance to the “Butter remix”, please react to it!) Of course they are all amazingly talented! One of the wonderful things about BTS is that they give each member their moments to shine in every song and in every choreography! 💜 Please react to the MMA 2020 performance of “Black Swan”, BTS “ON Kinetic Manifesto”, “An Introduction to the 7 members of BTS 2021 update” by Ida S, and their “Carpool Karaoke” episode! 😊💜
Thank you for reacting to BTS. I wanted to make a suggestion if its ok. There is a quick dance video for the Butter video. Its 3 J dancing to the Megan the stallion rap part of the video. It is very short but really good and it shows only 3 members dancing. It is worth a look.
Looking forward to the next one 🙂💜
love listening to your explanations
Glad you like them!
I loved your reaction. Especially for the dance practices I'm not really looking for "perfection" because they are still just practices. It's kind of fun in itself to spot the goofs and bloopers. We know how hard they work and that they will be giving every bit of their efforts for their performances. On the other hand, I find it a mark of professionalism how a performer recovers from the inevitable mishaps that happen during live performances. I think that's one major reason to have practiced so much to have muscle memory. Smooth as they are, as practiced as they are, BTS is a group of Professionals.
Agreed!! We are human and we all have/had moments on stage where we have things happen and a true professional will be sooo good at fixing it most people won't even notice it lol. I tell my students never let your face "show" you messed up...as long as you keep smiling and performing and not looking like "oh crap I messed up" all over your face people usually won't even notice.
A prime example of that was when they debuted Black Swan live for the 1st time on the James Corden show..in a much smaller space than they'd been used to. When it got to the floor part you liked Lindsey, where they kick out a back leg after the body rocking, V full on kicked J-Hope in the head! He said afterwards the pain made him feel faint, but all you notice is him slightly re-adjusting his headmic & going straight into the next bit of choreo- such a professional (poor V said he was so nervous he didn't even realise what he'd done!) Again, when you watch the Grammy performance there's a bit where Hobi misses his step on the stairs but recovers so well that a few reactors I've watched haven't even picked up on it & commented. I love his & Jimin's dancing so much- different styles & backgrounds (Hobi has been dancing hip hop since he was 10) but both so accomplished (if you don't know by now, they were the two doing the duet in your earlier vid, where Jimin was the one blindfolded). I'm loving your assessments & looking forward to more!
I’m late to the party but this was a great reaction. As a former dancer, this dance practice was what made me ARMY - their line, the depth of their movement, the story the choreography as a whole tells…. It’s just gorgeous and there was no going back when I saw this! 💜💜
the ending is actually the intro but backwards so they end where they started, this is the most interesting part in the choreo for me
Absolutely need your reaction for butter grammy 2022
