B-Dash & Jaja Vankova | FrontRow | World of Dance Boston 2017 |

[@tk6613]

I enjoy the depth of the story behind the dance. Did you notice how Jaja didn't smile or make any expression at the beginning of the dance, but became more human at the end?

[@ikatrina0348]

Thomas Katsoulas Right? The dance is surreal

[@kasaaskin9350]

T K because she became real ! This performance is sooooo intricate.

[@knightcupvirushi3765]

I was thinking that it was more like she was smiling, because she was beginning to control the puppeteer herself

[@eliyeahHarris]

eventually the relationship between control&controlled reversed

[@mopimpn]

It's called she's outta breath

[@GabbyMonae]

has anyone noticed how exceptionally she moves/walks as if she was actually a puppet attached to strings during 1:52-1:57

[@Yannis97]

Gabrielle Warford i know bloody amazing

[@cheguevara19]

They've dropped a few frames here and there to give them a more unnatural and creepy feel, but its still incredible.

[@sypherpkfanspeed5035]

Truth

[@louisk1758]

yeah thats what makes it cool they are pretending to be puppets

[@RepublicConstitution]

It's truly unreal. I feel like a loser watching them.

[@aubrinthentity1207]

Few points I'm sure most people missed as to when the Puppet master became the puppet. 1:44 She pulls his head back 1:54 She begins showing off while he isn't looking then pauses when he does look back 2:09 She begins leading (she's moving first before him) 2:19 Obvious part 2:26 Having never controlled anyone she is unable to do it correctly which is why both of them are moving in a more hectic fashion. 2:36 He tries one more time to control her and fails This is a personal interpretation so I hope some others saw at least one of these parts.

[@BLUExDEMONx5]

Excellent breakdown!!!

[@aubrinthentity1207]

Thanks

[@Teyvizzy]

Saeko Busujima I definately did

[@aubrinthentity1207]

Which ones?

[@TheAnvilMan]

Thanks for this. I only got the 2:19, 2:26 and 2:36 parts. I had to rewatch a few times to see what you mean for the other parts.

[@Magnivore519]

That paint job is actually incredibly well done.

[@zhaumbie]

Surprised I had to scroll this far to see someone call this out. Astonishing in application and concept. Jaja’s blood/wood-grain finish and that excellent, believable joint work went miles in helping me find this piece so mesmerizing.

[@HTHAWK93]

[@therafter7494]

what makes her sick is that she doesnt look at him for visual timing ...but goes by audio timing..and her tight precision, with her facial expressions is on point....definitely better than dytto who still goes by visual timing with her partner

[@itsme-ty1pt]

Patrick Kent Of course she doesn't need to look at him for visual timing cues, they've practiced this routeine so extensively they could do it blind folded.

[@Whatever209804]

I don't think he's looking at her cause he needs to sync with her, I think he's looking at her cause he's playing a puppet master showing off his doll

[@sonexblink716]

Whatever209804 I *think* you've misunderstood. Dytto is a girl, one of her performance was the Barbie girl??

[@sonexblink716]

Whatever209804 You're explaining about B-Dash, the puppetmaster in this video, not Dytto. B-Dash has nothing to do with this, he (Patrick Kent) was stating about Jaja and Dytto.

[@drsnorlax_felineknights]

i think her dance here is better than dytto.. i just don't really like dytto's repetitive moves..

[@_benzer]

FOR ANYONE ASKING FOR THE SONG'S NAME The track is called P&PM and is from B-Dash himself. It will be dropping this Saturday December 23rd :)

[@ameliabyers7368]

captainmighty he better do it soon 😞

[@zellrang]

I'm just gonna like this comment just 'cause I want other people to see it too... so many people asking about the name of the song...

[@bradleyfeagley8533]

Did he ever release it

[@Zavyeer]

Appreciate it

[@sunilp4462]

This Dance is awesome. But I want to see others dancer on this music like a les twins

[@Asia107]

The way they absolutely slaughtered this choreo and gave us an insane storyline while doing so ❤️🔥🥵

[@mohammadjahanbakhsh7335]

I watched this 1000 of times, and I wanted to write my understanding to see what you guys think of my vision. at first, Master has complete control over her body, she reacts to everything he does and follows. First @1:18 you can see a small sign that she is fighting to break free ( she shakes her hands with a little freedom but he doesn't do that) but he is still in control because @1:28 Master stands and moves her down on her knees to follow him again. it is in here that for the first time @1:32 she breaks and pulls her master down and stands above him but she still does not have control because the master does;t copy her moves (at least not fully). from here on Master's fight begins (sometimes he follows her moves but in between shows signs that he is trying something else and different moves). From @2:00 her domination begins. now master follows her but with some delay. and finally @2:09 she takes complete control, the smile that she makes shows that now she knows that the job is done ( I absolutely love that smile, so freaky :D ). @2:17 taking over is done and now she is the master (Music changes to a whole darker tune) and in @2:22 she shows her domination by a hand gesture ordering him to follow her (In my mind some kind of celebration ) and finally at the end puts her master in the stand being completely free.that last gesture thinking of job well done is awesome. I just wanted to share my view, please tell me what do you guys think? because this dance from moves to music, Everything, in my opinion, is totally intentional and a masterpiece.

[@thugsdoueihi3926]

You wrote ur entire essay on youtube I respect that

[@dangbui4666]

well said sir

[@deez583]

mad respect

[@rbpanchal506]

Respect nice analysis and observation ❤

[@storminite2041]

What's with all these people writing play by plays? No essay is needed geez just enjoy the performance. There is no wrong or right interpretation and it's strange to see people dissecting it minute by minute. Your going way to deep folks. Again, just enjoy the show.

[@rebelwithoutapplause5629]

Very easy to watch this video and focus on the "doll", for obvious reasons, namely she's bloody beautiful.. Watching it a second time and basing it on talent, the guy is every bit as amazing, they are a great team. I take my hat of to both of them, I can't begin to imagine how much practice it takes to perfect such a brilliant routine. Well done to both of you, amazing

[@EternityKX]

This is the first time I see a female dancer dance this kind of robotic and minimal style dancing so good! She's stealing all the attention! She's the best so far that I've seen

[@haleystafford2242]

EternityKX go see dytto

[@EternityKX]

Haley Stafford I've seen her... And I've seen better than her. One example is the very video we're commenting on

[@justkidding9381]

Haley Stafford wtf stop comparing ditto and jaja on dance they are not on the same level but when it come to good looks dytto is superb

[@robbythompson4230]

This is known as 'popping'

[@icynguyen5756]

Jaja better than Dytto

[@tiaschmidt1645]

2:17 best reverse I’ve ever seen lol.

[@ItsRoronoaZoro]

1:16 I can't stop watching this part. Jaja is so smooth like wow.

[@tanvimuley6088]

I bet you can't copy it with your sharingan 😂

[@EricTor420]

Hey ZORO

[@dorianautry]

The way they both played their part and executed exceptional choreography at the same time is sick! I’m back years later and always come back 💯

[@rotahjahgandy5336]

When she Started Moving i Totally forgot she Was Human i Think

[@live123tt6]

[@gracezheng1699]

[@Onayerk]

The arm movement is unreal

[@ninjarai001]

This is my favorite dance routine of a duo ive ever seen! They both compliment eachother amazingly. And i love how JaJa can dance her ass off and not rely on being overly sexualized. Awesome shit.

[@Fangenstein]

I love the subtle shift of control throughout the piece. It's amazing dancing but also amazing storytelling.

[@BengalsFootball9]

There's a strobe light to help with the movements

[@ruhawpaw2538]

This performance never gets old.

[@katz.9873]

Something I appreciate (and I don’t know if this was intentional Or not) but the fact that his Lockett’s are more fluid and organic like a person would move and hers are more robotic and jarring really adds to the performance. Totally sells the effect.

[@katz.9873]

Movements ** wtf

[@brorianszk]

I think it was intentional.

[@patfrerking]

Of course it's intentional. He was a human controlling a puppet until she turned on him. They knew exactly what they were doing.

[@Prolyfyk]

With JaJa what really sells the illusion is the looseness of her wrist and fingers and being mindful of that detail the entire time. Also blinking as little as possible and rarely ever turning her body gaze first. It's crazy.

[@Marnee4191]

One of the best things I've ever seen.

[@alexandrahuertagzz3798]

mind blowing. both of them are pure talent. but she is the star. i couldn't take my eyes off her.

[@jonathanprycejr.7555]

1:29, Smoothest move I’ve ever seen🔥🔥😂

[@upatnite22]

I ain't even gonna front, I must have watched this video at least 40 times I've lost count. I studied both their moments. There are some things he does that's more on point and vice versa. Everyone focuses on her, but he did some dope moves too such as the way he moves from behind her at 1:32 And that BEAT! That beat is SICK! That zipper sound effect and other little things within the beat. smh. They killed it!!!! I would have loved to see Simon's reaction to this performance.

[@cryingthug8631]

First time I watched this vid I watched the guy I think the only reason people focus on the girl is because of her makeup and outfit

[@KeelaMcGregory-hf1oo]

Forreal forreal

[@phillipgriffiths2668]

Anyone else just watching her, couldn’t take my eyes off her! Best dance routine I’ve seen...no human can move like that, crazy!

[@GGMV]

There’s a really elaborate story here. The master is controlling his doll and at first the doll is moving slightly differently (in the beggining she is flailing her hands when the master isn’t. Throughout the dance she becomes more and more conscious and turns on her master, near the end, she smiles and does a hand gesture signifying that the transformation from her to the master is complete, then the master does everything that she is doing until she puts the master in display at the end. Hope this helped😊

[@JoesGreatIdea]

Я4G3.G4M3 0V3Я this proves that you watched the video

[@rickyfittz]

Thanks for explaining it

[@funfilm77]

You're a true puppet master.

[@sharparts8637]

Yes, also, they actually retrograde the movements from 2.17-2.20 to show the reversal of roles and then she literally sucks the power from his body with her hands and her chest puffs up as she makes him follow her.

[@RepublicConstitution]

The guy is smoke but that girl is 🔥

[@АнтошкаБу]

Какой раз просматривая и не перестаю восхищаться этим номером, просто БРАВО👏👏👏👍

[@MrJeBe]

damn that was fire. There was a story also like in the beginning the human was controlling the doll and the end it was reverse! SUPER COOL!

[@carmy_v]

MrJeBe Yup, she was a sneaky marionette.

[@kevinberger4208]

I don't think the guy gets the credit he deserve. His f****** insane to! 🙏 Worldclass performance from both

[@ltrs1212]

2:33 I think he's trying to break free right there but can't, emphasized by the music sounding like locked/straining joints.

[@thespearodiver]

This is the most epic dancing I've ever seen. Absolutely awesome!

[@miroslavhoudek7085]

I'm watching this video several times everyday, for a week, and I'm only more baffled by how great it is. I don't say very often that something is a masterpiece but this is it. Never seen anything even close in my life.

Thanks to the "Sound of music", "Nut Cracker" and some Christmas specials. This is the first I've seen both added together. Robot meets jewelery box dancer. Love at first sight. 🥰😅
