College Dancer Reacts to BTS Black Swan (first time watching Kpop dancing!)

(edit) so sorry for chopping up the videos :( I'll make sure to fix this in the future I truly meant no offense to the artists.
Hey y'all! Sorry for the late uploads but dance college is once again kicking my booty! Filmed this video a little while ago and finally finished it. I talk a lot about technique and heavily analyzed the dances. Let me know if you enjoyed this video (or if it bored you to tears lol), Happy Dancing :)

Jimin (the one with the blonde ponytail) studied contemporary dance and modern dance in school. He was the top student of his group. In the Black Swan M/V (music video), this shows even more as he does some contemporary moves outside of the choreography. Loved your reaction 💜

I can definitely tell he has trained in modern and contemporary his technique is really strong. Thanks for the information I'll be checking out the music video :)

The bird at the end, its a dove. This performance was the first part of like a series of songs they performed at this award show. Their next part of the performance, right after this was ON(its a song in case ur confused). The dove has a symbolic representation in ON. Thats why the dove, theyre transitioning from this performance to the next. Anyways, nice reaction. 💜

There is NOBODY inside or outside of "Kpop" like BTS. In terms of talent, musicality, production, content, creativity, artistry, philanthropy and originality. They have transcended genre and national boundaries.

It was so fun to watch along with you! You should definitely watch the Black Swan Art Film MV vs. the Black Swam MV. The Art Film is a more classical interpretation of the song and the dancing is done by a professional contemporary ballet company. The Art Film is also how BTS/Big Hit unveiled this song to the world (the Art Film was released before the original MV and the spotify digital download). I found it profoundly interesting that they chose that method to release a new song. BTS' MV came almost a month later and filtered the same music through BTS' own choreography and style. As someone who loves BTS and also ballet, I found it extremely interesting that they chose to release new music in this way. Kpop as a genre, places a lot of importance on the visual aspects of the art--so music, performance, dance, stagecraft, concept--etc Is extremely important. They really are about the whole package. This is true for BTS and also other Kpop groups. For BTS, especially--everything is intentional.

You just saved me a lot of typing. Well said. 😄👍

[@GreyMinerva]

Seconded.

[@margaretpughdance]

I'm so sorry I just realized some footage was lost around 6:12 I really have no idea where it went. Basically I was saying that in ballet the technique is to never reach an end point and to continue to grow your lines, while other styles have clear periods at the end of movements. I like the way that the stops are added to this choreo to make it dynamic. Once again so sorry I lost the footage, that's embarrassing lol. Hope y'all enjoy the video tho!

[@flyushkifly]

Hi! Was just recommended your channel! I might be repeating someone else or saying things you already know, but... No matter what some rude people say, don't be afraid to: pause, replay scenes frame by frame if you need to, make long videos, use onomatopoeia, and flail around (lol), etc. Don't worry about making mistakes re: K-pop terminology or BTS facts while you're learning. Talk about your assumptions, but don't make assumptions, because BTS are uncharted territory in the world of K-pop. ARMY is all about watching reactors bring their expertise to the table so we can learn even more about our group. As much examination as we can get in any aspect of their performance and their persons is fascinating. We hope it is fascinating for you, too, and you continue to explore their work! We always welcome new ARMY, too. ;-) I suggest you enlarge those footnotes so they are easier to read. We are excellent subtitle readers, but that font makes it a bit difficult for older eyes. You might reference Cedric Gegel's use. He's got it down. Plus, among all his other specialties, he's a former dancer!

I took ballet, tap and other styles for 10 years in my youth. Only local dancing. However it gave me a great appreciation for the art of dance. You should check out the barefoot live version they did on James Corden. And now I’ve fallen down the BTS rabbit hole!) I think this song and MV deserved more recognition. Another video that has great dancing is “On Kinetic Manifesto.” They performed this also in a closed Grand Central Station on Jimmy Fallon Tonight Show.

And okay, that frisbee hand motion thingy you said with hand momentum was 10/10, huh that's a nice way to think of the movements.

[@sometimessiri.8559]

Black Swan is based off a quote by Martha Graham who was famous for her work in modern dance. "A dancer dies twice, once when they stop dancing and this death is the hardest." The song speaks about their fear of one day being on stage singing, rapping or dancing but it doesn't move them like it did before. They're all still young men (24-29) and have been active within this industry since 2013 when the youngest was just 15. There's another version of Black Swan that's more instrumental based and has a dance company perform. The second segment you watched used this version but only 6 of the 7 were able to perform as one of the rappers was out due to shoulder surgery. I'll link the other version because it's beautiful and you might have a deeper connection to it being a dancer. Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHjFpoh8h8mMp7c Make sure the CCs are turned on for English subtitles!

[@ruthfischer7615]

To add on it is not only "Swan Lake" referenced but also the movie "Black Swan". Since we are on "The Map of the Soul" - a book about Jungian psychology - this song is an exploration of their "Shadow"/Unconsciousness as artists. The fear of the death of passion. And maybe they sound like that also because "everything is ocean floor" and they are drowning in their shadow/fear. Funnily enough the position at the end and beginning reminds me of "Fake Love" and them being/feeling like marionettes not in control of themselves even as the lack comes here from wthin instead from an outside relationship. So this was maybe wanted? Love your comment Sometimes Siri. This is just an add-on to yours. Borahae! 💜

Very interesting reaction. I hope you do more. However, please, please don’t skip within the official videos. It’s completely unnecessary with BTS. As long as you include the company intro there is no copyright issue with Hybe/BigHit music and background videos, they welcome reactors as part of the process of getting their messages out in the world. You can show the whole thing (ARMY won’t object to longer videos). You could also watch the Black Swan official mv, which is a work of art in its own right, and the Art film with the MN Dance Company.

Margaret, you are so brave to do your first reaction video. Fighting! Thank you for your reaction. I have never seen a reactor comment on their performance that they give through their eyes. This has always been fascinating to me and a powerful aspect of their performances. I think you are going to love their other work too. And the fact that you stopped at the "flying squirrel" part to watch all the members makes you my kind of reactor/analysis giver. As for your dancing language/onomatopoeia, you and J-Hope would get along well. 😄 Basically, I cannot wait for your next BTS reaction. I think you would also enjoy live performances of Butterfly or Spring Day for another contemporary flavor dances and solo work by Jimin such as Serendipity or Lie or his solo sections of Black Swan.

[@WhalienDNA]

Great reaction! I think you would definitely enjoy watching the choreography for their songs “Blood, Sweat, and Tears” and “Fake Love.” The eclipse performance was so gorgeous and a wonderful payoff for something they set up the previous year with Jungkook and Jimin’s solo dances. I definitely recommend their solo performances from 2019 MMA (I mean I recommend their whole 40 minute set from that year because it’s iconic 😂) Also another great live performance of Black Swan happened at the Tonight Show in 2020. It’s truly remarkable hearing them sing the song live while doing such complex choreography. I was lucky enough to see them perform live in LA, and it’s incredible. 💜

[@morwenk4910]

One of them did a short solo performance in water and it’s one of my favs i wish it was longer!!! Also don’t apologize for ranting, it shows that you’re really passionate about dancing, personally i don’t get bored listening to someone who shows how passionate they are about the subject!

The dove at the end is part of the song they performed straight after Black Swan. It is called ON and the choreo is incredible and completely different from this one.

First of all, I really love your reaction and the little edit comments that you include. So far you sound like a fun and amazing person! Your explanations and demonstrations make me want to try dancing even though I am a massive klutz and would probably break something or someone if I tried, lol. Second, instead of haunted the song sounds to me like I am listening to it from under water. I think the way the instrumentals are distorted like that and the way the member's voices don't sound as distinctly different as they usually do relates well to the lyrics though I don't know if it was all intended that way (though knowing BTS it probably was). Third (and last since this comment is getting long), you have given me even more appreciation for the dance in Black Swan. You've pointed some things out that I didn't notice before but now that you have mentioned and explained a few things, I can see what you were talking about like some of the sections with the switch between a more Hip Hop style to a more contemporary style that didn't stand out to me before. Thanks for taking the time to react! Subbed and going to take a look at more of your videos when I have the time!

[@1marieleathem]

That was live at an awards show. This is how their set started. There was more after. You still need to watch the official music video. You see alot more of Jimin and his beautiful moves (he's trained in cobtemporary). Also, there is a dance cover by a dance troupe that you, as a dancer, will most likely like. There's also video from their recent L.A. concerts which is very cool. Also dance practices are usually the choreography for a live stage performance, so there can be more or less in official movie videos. Did that make sense?

Thanks for checking out BTS. Black Swan is one of my favorite songs by the band. As someone that grew up in ballet, hip hop and jazz I'm always impressed with the level of talent this group has in many forms of dance. I never cared of contemporary as a child but as you said, now often you see it with more hip hop elements which is far more pleasing to my eye. The song's lyrics deal with the fear of losing passion for your art and how that would be a fate almost worse than death itself. I'm sure all true artists feel this way at some point. Anyways, I hope you watch the music video, it really highlight's Jimin's (blonde in the pony tail) contemporary art school training and is just visually stunning in many ways.

[@gm42613]

It's very nice to see this from the perspective of a dancer. I enjoyed it very much, and I loved your personality. Would love to see more reaction videos to BTS dance practices. If you don't mind, though, I have a few requests: first, could you maybe make the written commentary (in white) a bit larger? Sometimes, due to my bad Internet speed, the video isn't very sharp, so I wasn't able to follow some of the things you had written. Second, could you please watch the whole thing once, and then go back and comment? It was a bit hard for me to visualize/appreciate the dance as a whole this way. Finally, could you also comment on how much the dance is related to the meaning the song is trying to get across? I know it's in Korean, but there are lyric videos, etc. that could help. For example, I know that this song in particular was inspired by the BTS members' fear of losing their passion for creating creating music, and particularly by a quote by a dancer named Martha Graham who is quoted as saying, "A dancer dies twice, once when she stops dancing, and this death is more painful." Thanks again for the reaction, and looking forward to more BTS. 😊🌺

[@Ariel-iz9hv]

I loved your analysis and explanations! 🥰 I think you've already been informed but the person you pointed out the extension and leg lift for is the main dancer of the group called Jimin. He trained for about 6 years in hip hop - popping and locking and won a bunch of regional competitions and then went on to study dance in high school. He initially had training in general dance fields for the first year - a little bit of everything : ballet, Korean traditional dance, etc. And then went on to specialize in contemporary dance. He only trained for about a year before he left to become a Kpop idol but he was was considered an incredible talent in his city and his teachers even tried to convince him not to leave because they felt the dance world would lose a great talent 😅 I find Jimin's dance style the most interesting to watch in BTS because like you mentioned he is super versatile and he also has extensive martial arts training which I feel like shows through in his dancing? It's super lovely to watch that mix of fluidity, grace and power. I feel like you'd enjoy Lie by him. It's a more interpretive dance? I'll leave links in the reply :D

loved your reaction and all your input/explanations as i know nothing about dance besides the little ive learned by watching bts. bts is a 7 member group from south korea theyre not really kpop (its a long and nuanced convo that has many opinions but majority of bts fans and korean public along with bts themselves dont consider bts as kpop) bts do ALL genres of music many different styles of dance and they write and produce their own music so very often the lyrics and dance are tied together to tell whatever story theyre telling for that song as its based on their own experiences. theres 3 rappers and 4 vocalists all also have solo music along with the group music. i know you specialize in dance but maybe you can also react to the lyrics/music videos/performances too not just dance practices im not sure what you plan on doing but id love to see your reactions to the dances as well as the lyrics. doolsetbangtan site is our go to for bts lyrics but if you wanna use lyric videos use af taehyung, zaty farhani and dial 6137. NEVER use jaeguchi or lemoring they get the most views but are always wrong with the translations. for music videos use the CC button but if it says auto generated dont use it the captions wont be correct. :) to understand bts and korean music in general please also react to these videos itll help you understand so much more bts fans love long reactions so dont worry about videos being too long !! this is bts introduction to bts by xceleste bts hardships 2013 - 2021 by xceleste bts vs kpop by bbygangmag youre wrong about kpop by bbygangmag the media is wrong about kpop by bbygangmag kpop vs orientalism by bbygangmag bts : more than kpop by bbygangmag

The bird at the end was part of the transition into the next song for the performance but since this video cuts off after one song it seems abrupt but that is why... I hope you check out the official music video and the art film as others have suggested....and perhaps another performance where they are also singing becasue this one was very different from those in order to fit into a longer performance with more songs.

Loved your reaction! Please check out more of their dancing! Now I'm going to switch into maternal/teacher mode for a second here, sorry in advance, but... Please don't call yourself stupid and put yourself down, lovie. You seem to be a very bright, very talented young woman! Don't believe the negative self-talk! OK, I'll stop now. 😄💜 But yeah, loved your analysis, loved your reaction, and to quote Jimin, "You nice, keep going!"

Oh, and this is my favorite live performance of Black Swan, from Jimmy Fallon's "BTS Week" series: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWKQpHmkYs9oepI

[@tinietae6025]

You should definitely react to more BTS video's, you're gonna love it

[@gray_7]

This was very interesting, totally agree about every movement being crafted. Hope you’ll check out more, they have lots of interesting choreos :)

[@Belbecat]

Oh you gotta check out the thousand-hand bohisattva dance for another version of that Pite one :) it's stunning and it's performed by hearing impaired dance troupe!!

[@margaretpughdance]

Oh my goodness, that you so much for the recommendation! I just watched it the video and it was so beautiful, what a wonderful dance by such an amazing group of artists

[@mpgisbtsarmybaefighting2838]

Nice reaction. BTW, fun fact, your Vegas shirt, what a coincidence, they've recently sold out 4 shows in Las Vegas coming up. Thanks for your interest in them.🙂 just a tip: listen with good headphones, sounds better.

The dove at the end leads into the next performance "ON" which has a dove in the music video.

[@bree77301]

wow I really enjoyed your reaction and analysis... I'd love to see more of your reactions on BTS soon!

[@camc1057]

The dove is the connection to the next song :)

[@rosat8877]

Great reaction! I loved your explanations! If you are looking for more contemporary kpop performances I recommend you Quasi una fantasía by The boyz

[@AND_SPRITE]

Obrigada por explicar os movimentos, eu não sei nada sobre dança então gosto de assistir reactions de profissionais/dancers/etc e seu vídeo é muito bom💜. "You nice, keep going!" P.s: espero que o KZbin traduza isso certo porque eu não sei inglês🤞

[@laysd2576]

You should react to Taemin - IDEA he is one of the most famous soloists and dancers in kpop. It would be interesting for you to analyze the best kpop dancers. ex: Solo dance artists - Jimin(BTS), Kai (EXO), Taemin (Shinee) Hyunjin(Straykids) Lisa(Blackpink) etc..

[@alejarojas8189]

You will love jimin in a few videos... great reaction btw !! Love your knowlegde

[@chisays9936]
