Dance Videos

Sorry the 2nd post is later this week, been a bit of a busy weekend! :)

 

Time for my first general dance video post of the year! :) I previously wrote a post featuring C-pop in Public dances (Chinese pop dances performed in public) in January, which you can see here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2022/01/c-pop-in-public-dances.html

 

TENI- JO (AFRO IN HEELS) by Patience J

First up is an Afro pop dance to the 2020 single Jo by Nigerian singer Teni (sister of Niniola). It's choreographed by Patience J, a dancer, choreographer, actress and teacher from the UK. She has worked for several African and Western artists, including Mr Eazi, Burna Boy, Pet Shop Boys and David Guetta.

In this video (posted last June) Patience and her students perform an Afro in heels  choreo to Jo.

Next is some K-pop! Here is a dance cover of DUMB DUMB (released last August) by Canadian-Dutch-Korean singer Somi (or Somi Jeon in Western terms), former member of Korean girl group I.O.I. It's performed by Ellen who also put the outfits together and the editing, filming and lighting was done by her husband Brian.

(KPOP IN PUBLIC SOUTH AFRICA) ITSY "In the morning" Dance Cover

I've shared quite a few K-pop in Public videos in the past from groups in various countries, but hadn't come across any from Africa. So, I did a search and found this cover of ITSY's In the morning (which came out in April 2021). It's performed by South African based Valkyrie Dance Group.

Jillina's Belly Dance Shimmy Drill Tutorial

 I haven't danced much over the past couple of years (I used to go to regular belly dance classes) but I have gone to a workshop and a hafla (dance party). I just went to another of my group's haflas this weekend, so I thought I'd share some belly dance inspiration! :)

Here is a shimmy drills tutorial from Jillina (formely in Bellydance Superstars (BDSS) ). It was part of her #2getherWeMove4ward donation programme during the 2020 pandemic lockdowns. This video was uploaded in May 2021.

Kusu Kusu from Satyameva Jayate 2- Team Naach feat. Nora Fatehi 

Finally, in my Dance Videos Round-up 2021 post in December, I featured a choreography to Kusu Kusu from the Bollywood film Satayameva Jayate 2. It was performed by dancer and choreographer Sonali Bhaduria of LiveToDance With Sonali and Canadian dancer and actress Nora Fatehi (who stars in the item number music video).  You can see that here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2021/12/dance-videos-round-up-2021.html

Around the same time, Nora also teamed up with Nicole and Sonal of Team Naach for another version of Kusu Kusu. So here is their version.

Hope you enjoyed the video! :) I plan to share more dance videos during 2022, probably a new K-pop in Public one soon. What is your favourite type of dance?

25th Anniversary of Mariah Carey's Butterfly Album

My favourite singer Mariah Carey recently released a 25th anniversary edition of her 6th studio album Butterfly. The original album was released on 16th September 1997 and featured songs such as her hit single Honey, The Roof and My All. It was actually the first album I ever bought (on cassette tape, lol) and I still consider it one of my fave MC albums. :) Butterfly was the first album that Mariah had more control over and it is R'n'B, rather than the pop (and later pop/R'n'B) of her previous releases. It also has pop and hip hop influences.  The expanded edition contain 8 extra tracks (the original standard edition has 12)- a duet version of Whenever You Call with Brian McKnight , a new take on The Roof featuring Brandy , live versions of Butterfly and My All, acapella versions of Fourth of July and Outside, an Amorphous Anniversary Club Mix of Butterfly (with DJ Amorphous ) and a remix of Honey (Another Taste of Honey David Morales Mix). I had previously heard the

Debut XG Mini Album

Japanese girl group XG have released their 1st mini album. It's called NEW DNA and was released on 27th September. XG (whose name is short for Xtraordinary Girls) made their debut in March last year and have brought out 7 singles so far- Tippy Toes, MASCARA, LEFT RIGHT/SHOOTING STAR double single), GVRL GANG , TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. The first 3 songs (or 4 including the double single) aren't on the mini album. The concept behind NEW DNA is that of being a "new species" free from conventions and limitations .  Although the group is Japanese, their creation was inspired by Korean music and they are based in South Korea. They have released songs in English so far and have been described as a global group and "X-pop". NEW DNA consists of 6 tracks- HESONO, X-GENE, GVRL GANG, TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. It is an R'n'B/pop mini album with influences from other genres, such as K-pop, dance and hip hop. My favourite song is PUPPET SHOW. I al
