Afropop and K-pop Dance Tutorials

Here is some dance inspiration for your Saturday/your weekend  (it may be Sunday depending where you live!). Today I'm sharing a couple of videos from African/Afropop and Korean/K-pop dance teachers. :) 


BUTTERFLY LEGWORK TUTORIAL|HOW TO DANCE- Presh Okosi

First up is a legwork tutorial by Nigeran dancer and teacher Presh Okosi. It's a dance called the butterfly legwork from Nigeria. 

The video is from last June and Presh hasn't posted since. She mentions in the video that she hadn't posted for a long time before that after losing her mum, so I hope she's doing ok. :)

TIPS ON HOW I LEARN K-POP DANCES- Innah Bee

And next is a video from Innah Bee with tips on how she learns K-pop dances. Innah is a dancer and dance teacher from the Philippines who mainly does K-pop dance covers. She also covered O SAKI SAKI from the Bollywood film Batla House. I shared her video short on my Facebook page in January.  (Sonali Bhaduria also has a dance cover of the same song.) Other types of video she does include K-pop dance fitness/workouts and vlogs.

In this video (posted in September) Innah shows us how she learnt the steps to BLACKPINK's 2016 single BOOMBAYAH.

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.

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.
