Dance Videos

Recently I came across a dance video on YouTube (in my recommendations) of a girl called Kaycee Rice. I found this other video of Kaycee dancing with her partner Gabe De Guzman. It's called Monster and it's an interesting dance, it seemed a bit strange to me at first (lol) but it's good.

Kaycee and Gabe are in the 11 year old age category  in this video and the dance style is hip hop. Kaycee became an internet sensation at 10, when the video of her doing a solo called Werk (the one I was recommended) was posted on Twitter by singer Katy Perry. You can read the article and watch the video here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2345230/EXCLUSIVE-Katy-Perrys-Tiny-Dancer-How-superstar-turned-little-girl-internet-sensation.html

Kaycee is from Simi Valley in California and dances at Studio 13 Dance, which is owned by her mum Laura Rice. She does a variety of dance styles including hip hop, lyrical and jazz. Some of Kaycee's routines were choreographed by Tricia Miranda who has worked for music stars such as Missy Elliot, Jennifer Lopez, Black Eyed Peas, Britney Spears and Beyonce.

Gabe (full name Gabriel) has won dance competitions at regional and national levels, featured on TV shows and video games and danced with celebrities including Bruno Mars and Will Smith. He's also done TV adverts and live theatre. I think he mainly does hip hop. Both Gabe and Kaycee auditioned for America's Got Talent in June.

Bring It!

I've also been watching the TV show Bring It! on Lifetime (it just started in the UK). It's about a dance team called Dancing Dolls in Jackson, Mississippi. They're taught by Dianna Williams (Miss D) and the type of dancing they do is called "hip hop majorette". It's similar to Dance Moms, the series follows the girl's rehearsing and performing each week.

It seems good so far. Dianna is a tough coach but she doesn't appear to be malicious, like Abby Lee Miller (from Dance Moms) can come across as sometimes. There is some drama, mainly with the mums, lol. Dianna makes them stand outside the studio if they want to watch! This was a dance style I didn't know anything about, so it's good to see something new.

Here is a video of the Dancing Dolls performing in Memphis at the Prancing Tigerettes Jamboree 2014. The Prancing Tigerettes are their rivals but this appears to be an event they were hosting.

South Indian Videos

I've written several Bollywood posts this year but I don't feature South Indian music/films as much. So today I'm sharing some music and dance videos from Tollywood ( the Telugu language film industry) and Kollywood (the Tamil language film industry). :) Oo Antava Mawa- Pushpa- Dance Cover by Sonali First up is a dance cover of the song Oo Antava Mawa..Oo Oo Antava from the 2021 Tollywood film Pushpa: The Rise- Part 1 . I previously featured a dance cover of Oo Antava Mawa in a Dance Videos post in August last year. That one is by Rang De and you can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/08/dance-videos.html This cover is by Indian choreographer Sonali Bhaduria, from LiveToDance with Sonali and was uploaded in January 2022. It's a shorter video.   For more on Pushpa and to watch the official Oo Antava Mawa video, check out my Tollywood Videos Round-up 2 post from September 2023: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/09/tollywood-videos-round-up-2.html ...

Weekly Music Video

Sorry there wasn't a 2nd post last week, I was going through a bit of a stressful time and didn't manage to get one finished. :) This week's video is I CONDEMN by Australian singer and rapper The Kid LAROI . It was the first single from the deluxe version of his second album BEFORE I FORGET. The original album was released in January and the deluxe version came out on 24th April. It contains 9 extra tracks, including  I CONDEMN and latest single PIECES. I wasn't aware that there was a deluxe version until I saw that some new songs had appeared on Spotify! I like BEFORE I FORGET and my favourite songs from the original version are ME + YOU, JULY,  COME DOWN and RATHER BE featuring Australian rapper and singer Lithe . One of my fave songs on the deluxe version is QUIT YOU, and I also like HOLD STILL and I CONDEMN. The newest single PIECES came out on out the same day as the album. I CONDEMN was released on 17th April. As with the songs on the original BEFORE I FORGET, it...
