Dalie Dance Tutorial | Kamo Mphela- Amapiano Tutorial by Presh Okosi 

This is a dance tutorial by Nigerian Afro-Dancer and dance tutor Presh Okosi. In this video she's teaching dance moves from the Dalie Dance Challenge, an amapiano dance challenge that is trending on TikTok. Amapiano is a South African music genre. 

The challenge is where people film themselves dancing to the new single Dalie by South African dancer and singer Kamo Mphela, Khalil Harrison and DJ and record producer Tyler ICU, and featuring Baby S.O.N. It came out last month.

Presh's video was uploaded on 29th October.

 


 

If you don't have TikTok (like me), you can watch a compilation of videos from the challenge in this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oidf4yLUsY0

And listen to the official audio for Dalie here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5Bw1dzf3sE

[DANCE IN PUBLIC | ONE TAKE] XG- PUPPET SHOW- Dance Cover by 8MUSE

And here is a Dance in Public cover, to PUPPET SHOW, the latest single by Japanese girl group XG. As I've previously mentioned, XG dance covers are in a similar style to K-pop in Public and J-pop in Public etc. but they tend to be listed under "Dance in Public". (Sometimes as J-pop in Public.) The reason is that although the members are Japanese, they are considered a global group and their songs so far have been in English. 

PUPPET SHOW is from XG's debut mini album NEW DNA. Both single and mini album were released in September.

The dance cover is performed by 8MUSE, a dance team from Taiwan. It features Nabi as Cocona, Bliss as Jurin, Luzi as Hinata, Angela as Chisa, K as Maya, Hana as Harvey and Eva as Juria. The video was uploaded on 29th October.

 


Visit my post on NEW DNA to read more about the mini album and to watch the music video for PUPPET SHOW: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/10/xg-debut-mini-album.html

 

And for more from 8MUSE, visit this Dance Videos post from August , which featured their dance cover of XG'S GIRL GVNG (scroll down).


Hope you liked the post! :) I may do one more dance video post before the end of the year. What are your current favourite dance covers?

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
