Dance Videos

It's been ages since I've written a general dance videos post (I think not since last year's round-up). I've mostly done K-pop in Public or V-pop and P-pop etc. this year. So today I'm sharing some videos from a variety of genres. :) 

[KPOP IN PUBLIC | UK] KISS OF LIFE- STICKY- Ngọc Đầu bảo nè

First up,  some K-pop in Public! This is a cover of Sticky by Korean girl group KISS OF LIFE. It came out in July and has a lovely, summer video. I'm already missing summer! 

The cover is uploaded on the channel of Ngọc Đầu bảo nè, who is based in the UK. The video premiered on 12st August and the dancers are Han, Janet, LouLou, Felix and Zoey. They did the cover with an extra member(5 instead of 4) which is cool!

K-POP IN PUBLIC | ONE TAKE 'STICKY' Kiss of Life Cover by CHOOM DANCE CREW

Here is another cover of Sticky. This one is by CHOOM CREW, a dance crew based in Syndey, Australia.

The video was filmed last month and premiered on 12th August, which is actually winter in Australia. But the Chomies said they were "bringing the summer fever"! The dancers are Zoe as Belle, Maddy as Julie, Grace as Natty and Olivia as Hanuel.

Plus, if you're sad to say goodbye to summer like I am (the Autumn Equinox and "official" start of autumn is tomorrow for those of is in the Northern Hemisphere), here is some Kpop on the beach!

DANCE IN PUBLIC | ONE TAKE' WOKE UP' XG Cover- CHOOM DANCE CREW

Next, more Dance in Public. This is a cover of Japanese girl group XG's  WOKE UP. As I've said before, while they are Japanese, they are considered a global group, their creation was based on the K-pop format and they mostly sing in English. So their dance cover videos tend to be listed as "Dance in Public" (and sometimes J-pop in Public or K-pop in Public). :)

WOKE UP was XG's 5th single, released in May. A remix was also just released yesterday (20th September). The group's 2nd mini album AWE is due out in November, so I look forward to that. 

This cover is also performed by Choom. The dancers are Grace as Maya, Zoe as Harvey, Mona as Cocona, Charmaine as Jurin, Olivia as Chisa, Sophie as Juria and Catherine as Hinata.  The video premiered on 6th August.

Simple Amapianio Dance Moves- Tutorial by Jennifer Anthony

Now here is some African dance. This is an amapiano dance tutorial by Jennifer Anthony. Amapiano is a South African music genre. 

In this video (which was uploaded in January), Jennifer teaches us some simple dance moves, including the Vosho, the pouncing cat and Umlando. The last one actually makes me think of a belly dance move, kind of like a hip drop or a figure of eight.

Asalaam-E-Ishqum Dance by Sonali (short)

Finally, here is a dance by Indian dance choreographer Sonali Bhaduria of LiveToDance with Sonali. It's to the song Asalaam-e-Ishqum from the 2014 Bollywood film Gunday. Although the movie was released 10 years ago, I think the Asalaam-E-Ishqum song (and dance) has been trending recently.

This is a YouTube short and was uploaded a few days ago (on 17th  September). It features Sonali and two backing dancers. 

Watch the music video for Asalaam-e-Ishqum here (it was a Weekly Music Video back in December 2017!): https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2017/12/weekly-music-video.html

 

Sonali doesn't upload many long form videos these days (mostly YT shorts), but you can find some links to her older videos in this Dance Videos post from 2022: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2022/11/dance-videos.html

And go here for her latest shorts: https://www.youtube.com/@LiveToDancewithSonali/shorts

 

Hope you enjoyed the post! :) I'll probably do another K-pop in Public one before the end of the year. 

 

P.S. I'm currently having some issues with my Facebook page. One of my recent posts was marked as "spam". (No idea why.) Hope to get it sorted as soon as possible!
