He is a good dancer and CAN sing, i'm proud of him since was beggining and now he bcame of CEO of chromosom ent , he is my bias in exo and he is such a humble guy 🥺
Look at him go!!!
Lay’s Flying Apsaras is inspired by Dunhuang Dance - a form of Chinese dance which combines traditional culture and modern art.Dunhuang dance draws inspiration from the body movements in the Dunhuang grotto frescoes (such as in the Mogao caves), and the musical instruments and music scores found in Dunhuang, Gansu province, West China.The dance shows the combination of ethnic dance styles from Central and Western China.The dance, itself, is also influenced by Buddhist images and Buddhism. He shot the MV in Dunhuang, China, but was not satisfied with the final result. So he only released a 40 second visualizer.
THANK YOU FOR THIS INFO! I so needed you when I was recording this haha 😂 thank you thank you! This was bothering me so much because I knew what I was finding wasn’t the full picture!
There was an interview I saw (can’t find it sorry) where he did mention how everything was absolutely intentional and with cultural meaning. Every single move. And the choreo was inspired by the drawings as others have mentioned.
This is his goal. Bringing Chinese culture to the world. And he is definitely doing it.
I absolutely love Lay so so much. He is outstanding at what he does. And is such a humble and loving person.
He definitely brought Chinese culture global and I'm so proud of him for that! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch! I always appreciate your time and feedback!
if you take a look at the paintings of mogao caves, you will find that many of the gestures and pauses in the dance are similar to the postures of the characters in paintings,which’s really impressive caz it matches perfectly the theme of the song.
Lay spent a lot of money (heard that the budget is over a million usd) on the Flying Apsaras mv. He flew 150 staff members and dancers to the desert and a well known world heritage site called Mogao Grottoes, also known as Caves of the Thousand Buddhas, to shoot the mv. The Flying Apsaras are often considered a symbol of the Mogao Grottoes, painted in Mogao caves 1600 years ago.
In the dance practice, Lay incorporated many traditional dance moves and gestures painted on the caves. The reason for him to release only 40s visualizer is because, as he said, he’s not fully satisfied with the rest of the mv. I really hope he’ll drop the full version soon, but I respect his decision. As we all know, Lay never settles for less.
Oooh! Very insightful! I’ll have to take a look soon! Very intriguing! Really enjoyed this track and his perspective on it here and on SDC4! Love that he really went for it with the MV and I bet it is EPIC!!
I'm waiting for reactions to street dance china ❤
Apsaras choreography is still one of my favourite!
Hey! SO I've been STRUGGLING with SDC4 reaction uploads, but I'll keep trying!!
I remember squealing with excitement when I first saw this choreo. It's so intricate and intentional.
I know there are apsara characters in Indian classical dance as well (common Hindu and Buddhist mythology of course) so it reminded me of the hand gestures in Bharatanatyam. I would love to hear someone of Cambodian dance background comment on this choreo or the choreographer Huang Xiao too....
I find the inclusion of folk and other dance traditions in popular music choreography so inspiring but also there is the ever-present danger of doing it improperly or without respect to origins.
I agree!!! I love learning about folk dances and the origins/ what makes them as captivating as they are!
I always have goosebumps watching this dance practice. It's just soooooooo satisfying to watch! 😤🔥 As an EXO-L, I always feel so proud of what Lay has become as an artist and as a person. He come a very long way. This man really has a huge vision for MPOP and for music. I love him! 💜
Thank you for reacting to this. I hope you could check out his other work too. 🫶🏻
It was such a pleasure to take a watch! I hope to be able to look at more of his work in the future!
Appreciate your analysis. Always interesting to hear from professional view❤.
However, Apsara is just a shared common name to call the celestial beings with Sanskrit word, which is of course the influence from Buddhism. We also have Apsara dance in Thailand but we call it differently.
I believe that Yixing’s Feitian choreography gets more cultural influence from Chinese folk dance, and not necessarily from Cambodia. 😊
That's what I've been learning through the comments and I'm so happy to learn so much more! Cambodia kept popping up even though I felt it wasn't exclusive to there so I'm glad so many people were able to point me in the right direction regarding all the historical elements added within the piece! Thank yo!
@@jess_holyfield you’re welcome. It’s normal because the Cambodian dance is very well-known with its deep embedded historical background too.
Nice reaction by the way. I really enjoy it. 👍🏼
@@ttzk5105 Thank you so much for taking the time to watch! I truly appreciate it a lot!
Exited for SDC❤
Just finished it TODAY! Unfortunately TH-cam has been BLOCKING all videos associated so it's not been the best for uploads! But it is on Patreon with no problems!
Please react to lit mv and dance practice, honey mv and dance practice.
Thank you for watching! Hopefully I’ll be able to look at your recommendations soon!
Nothing to do with Cambodian. It’s inspired by the wall paintings in the caves in Western China, as suggested by the title. Apsaras are celestial beings in Hindu and Buddhist culture.
When I did a search the Cambodian dance Apsaras was the biggest result and common denominator I was finding. I tried to figure out the Chinese equivalence in the time frame I had but wasn’t able to come up with much. Thanks for your added insight!
@@jess_holyfieldGoogle Dunhuang caves painting you will see the reference
@@elegantfashion160 thank you!
