Dance Teacher Reacts to BTS Dance Practices *FIRST TIME* (Dope and Blood Sweat and Tears) *REUPLOAD*

[@lindsaynicole4812]

not a fan of most of what your mom said. i grew up dancing for 10's of years and i very much disagree that boys aren't supposed to dance on the floor and that they only have to dance "masculine". the beauty of dance is the fluidity of genders and how it can be so completely gender-less but then also separate out into fully masculine and feminine and then combine again to be fluid and overlap. i love the blood sweat and tears routine because of how in sync they are (in full speed) and how they mix the traditional feminine and masculine dance styles. :)

[@Maraaha55]

I love the insight of your comment - thank you

[@genesiscordero7371]

린지Lindsay you said it perfectly

[@Laya-Rose]

Whitney Titus I know what u mean but If u put it that way - what is Ballett than? One of the most traditional dancing styles ever. It’s just in later years that it became „uncool“ for boys to be Ballett dancers. Which is very unfortunate imo.

[@_.lov8r._]

Yeah you right

[@shiya25...]

very true

[@bauistik3982]

those steps were about speak no evil (covering the mouth), hear no evil (covering the ear) and see no evil (covering the eyes).

[@cmterbush]

Dance is dance, I didn't know moves had gender. Come on...just give us a critique on the dancing, not what they are wearing and how many times they "grab" hey at least that's a masculine move right? Sorry for the sarcasm, but these boys are some of the best out there and they work thier azzes off. Thanks for trying to get your mum to appreciate them though, I can clearly see your love for them and I really appreciate how much you are devoted to them.

[@Ali-cn1du]

@SherieReamy Agree with you there. I think the mum's age has a lot to do with these things... Older thinking and kind of stuck in their old-fashioned ways. A younger dancer/instructor would not have been exposed to the things that this mum has in life and visa/versa. Thankfully things are changing and people are growing more open-minded as we continue to be exposed to more neutral thinking. I watched a video with a much younger man and he flipped out at the 'makeup' and now he thinks he might not look too bad with a little. Narrow-minded dare I say, ignorant thinking will always be around, we just have to try to keep the exposure coming.

[@genesiscordero7371]

Preach lol

[@chimchimj4153]

Honestly do any of us know what her mum meant by "traditional". I think all men can dance how they want feminine or masculine. And same for women. I think her mum might be just a tad small-minded...anyways I 💜 U Army!

[@gabytorres6603]

Facts I got so pissed

[@vera_nika2]

Agreed

[@morphixmonarch]

What style of dance does your mom teach? Because a decent majority of male contemporary, or ballet dancers use a lot of feminine moves... Physically dance is about control over your body, which means you should be able to do both masculine AND feminine moves no matter your gender if you're good.

[@emvuosku4219]

If she really wants to know who choreographed BS&T it was Internationally known choreographer Keone Madrid. He also did Dope and a few others for them as well.

[@AverageAlexis]

He also did the choreo for Singularity, I think? I LOVE his style of choreography!

[@svjetlixoxo2648]

"Masculinity.. traditionaly.. Emotional expression can't be learned" .. must say, I got triggered. Really. But still, it's good to hear others people's opinion even if I completely disagree with it. No disrespect to your mom. I really enjoyed the reaction as it was true and unfiltered. You are doing great.

So sorry your mum treats you like that. She has a really toxic "energy" I don't think she said one nice thing. I find you to be the opposite, you seem so sweet and genuine and just a wonderful way about you. Be careful in life so that you don't surroud yourself with other people that treats you that way, it's not normal. Take care!

[@kreiner1]

I'm a mom so I understand not always getting the things your kids are into. As a dance instructur I would think that even if she dosent like it she can see the hard work they put in. The are very on point with there moves great body control and yes they do sing and that in and of itself shows how hard they work the breath control is well I have never seen better. You don't have to understand or like it to see the value. Also you are a very beautiful young lady you have a great smile and I think you could do a pushup with no problems. I also hope your mom is more supportive than she came off as and I understand that after 5 kids I have not only resting bitch face but voice as well so sometimes I sound a bit harsher than I really am. Stay army strong!!!!!

[@nevaladder]

Ah, your mum sounds like my mom when she sees something she's not familiar with. Girly... I don't want to get into a gender debate with you and you're still my mom. * sigh* 😂

[@AverageAlexis]

Exactly!!! There were so many moments while filming where I was like “Alexis, breathe, she doesn’t understand!”

[@Meraidd]

Reading some comments, I thought "Hey, you have no idea what her childhood was like/ what her parenting was like. But now that I'm watching it and relating to some of your mother's comments towards YOU and them (and seeing some of my mom) all I can say is.. I hope you're at a good place. Your mom has a very critical eye, which is good for a dance teacher. But then again, I didn't really hear much about the DANCE aspect of what she was watching.

[@simplymarvelousliving]

The song is about vulnerability, that's why they lay themselves in that pose.

The more I watch, the more I feel bad for you. I hope your mom doesn't see these comments. "Why is it so white?????" Who care why are you being so negative? It's a white box so you can see the dancers clearly. You obviously LOVE them like we do, but she obviously can't see anything to like. I work in retail and I can just see her yelling at me now...

[@PuddingLino]

"Can't you stop dancing?" Omg🤣 if it was me, i would do the same thing... I spontanously dance when listen to bts's song

[@elena4439]

Why do I feel like I have been offended by your mother?

[@RadiantStorm666]

One thing that everyone will learn after watching enough of their videos is that everything they do, music and choreo, is catered to the message of their album/music. So their choreo may not be "masculine" because it doesn't fit the theme. For example, in Blood, Sweat, and Tears, the song is about discovering life temptations, so their dance moves articulate that theme. BTS makes it a point to give everyone more than a song. They give us true art. Hence, everything they do comes together harmoniously to give us performances that mean something to all of us.

[@chuugummy975]

I kinda want her to see Danger and Dionysus. I love those dances so much~

[@paigeX1999]

[@ellie_jeann]

When it first came out I was shocked at the theme they used in the MV but the more I listened to it, the more I love it like I always do with all their music. This single from their 2016 ‘Wings’ album brings house blends of which the group declares their will to throw everything on the line for love & success. The thematically sentiments blend of temptation with a carnal willingness to sacrifice everything!

[@ellie_jeann]

That was back when their choreography was more isolated and firm, RM and Jin were ususal always in the back because they were not as great at dancing as the rest but the more they practiced the more they gotten better at all....they all practiced to point where they would collapse and Jin had it much harder since he didn’t have much to no musical or dancing background but he had the talent that bighit saw which at the time he didn’t see until later on top of being a visual. Over time their choreography has become more steady and loosen!

[@angelynhor2983]

Tbh I am a little stressed out watching this 😭 I hope you have friends around you who share your enthusiasm about bts. I don’t have anybody in my family who is into bts too. Never mind Army is worldwide and there are literally millions of us out there. Ok that thought makes me feel better, hope it does to you too. Fighting Average Alexis! 💜💜💜 I used to live in Australia, hearing your accent makes me happy 😄 you seem like a really nice person. Purple you!

[@alexmeadows6163]

Ima just say that the second song is talking a lot about temptation so the moves were resembling weakness and falling for temptation not being strong and masculine like DOPE. DOPE is a song about being proud of yourself and lifting yourself up so it has those strong and confident moves.

[@Geochrdim]

woowww girl no offence but that's a very scary/strict Mom you've got there

[@jocy7738]

I’ve read that the reason Blood, Sweat , and Tears has a lot of sexual moves is because the song is about the idea of putting everything on the line for success, love, etc. The dance feels that certain way because that’s how temptation is supposed to feel: seductive (I read this somewhere but I’m not 100% it’s correct) I’m also sure that it’s not just the choreographer that contributes with his dance moves. The other members such as Hoseok (J-Hope) contribute with their own as well. :) (Might be wrong, sorry)

[@AverageAlexis]

Thank you for this!!!

[@Maddie-tu5tx]

I love an opinionated person, but your mother is being so condescending? Like not even just to BTS (which, I mean, so many hate on BTS, what else is new 😒), but she's being quite rude to you too... She was hella dismissive to every opinion you had, but hers are law? "Your brother can do that too" like so?? Doesn't make the move any less cool... Your mother is very closed minded, which is fine, she's probably very good at the style of dancing she teaches because of it, but maybe don't have her react to anything outside her interests?

[@genae9652]

When she said V didnt have any training he is just naturally a good dancer i felt so proud

[@ellie_jeann]

woah woah you told you that you can’t react to live performances on youtube? You 100% can too....Ive seen tons of people react to live performances you just have to be careful (modify your reaction abit) but most people just don’t feel like going through the hustle of doing it.

[@gabbiel7130]

I feel like you should have told her that the reason why they may do more "feminine" dance moves is because Korea is a more feminine county and they grew up around that... It's just different culture

[@namjesusx9601]

lol there is a meaning to thieir dances especially in blood sweat tears , they are not just covering their eyes for nothing

[@wooooo0oo]

If ur mum wants masculine then show her jimin’s MAMA performance (blockB vs bts) where he ripped his shirt off and their rainism cover lmao. Also maybe she would prefer more of their older dances where it was more rock/hip hop style like boy with luv and danger? I would still like to see her react to some of bts’s more contemporary dances tho. It would be interesting to see what she would think of them given the fact that she prefers “masculine” moves, i wonder if some of bts’s softer but still amazing choreographies (like spring day and save me) would change her mind. Especially some of jimin’s dances like serendipity because although ur mum prefers masculine moves, serendipity is the epitome of jimin’s incredible artistry and feminine style and how he makes it beautifully work. It’s way too beautiful to dislike, like jimin is an actual angel.

[@LN-pz5ou]

Love that you support them but they should not have to be subjected to masculine only. Feminine moves are amazing for them as well and women reverse too. You should watch all there dance videos they work their asses off and deserve every bit of support they can get😊🙌 glad you were comical though 😄

[@ashmitad.6325]

This was posted a year ago but since I’m just seeing it now I’m just going to say this now! You seemed like a very sweet and knowledgeable person on BTS and a true ARMY, I just want to get that out there! With your mom, she seemed to have some very set ways of thinking on the way dance should be done and not and had some pre set opinions from what I see which is honestly pretty normal but a lot of the things she said honestly were quite offensive and didn’t seem like constructive criticism quite honestly as someone who has trained in dance for 10 years now! But again you were very sweet for trying to get your mom into BTS but some people just don’t get it and that is also fine!

That is why BTS work is so important nowadays. They are trying to reset those toxic prejudices about masculinity, I didnt understand it at the beggining but I see it now. By doing so, they are relieving the pressure on so many men forced by social environment to act like macho and hide their emmotions or artistic interests.

Anyways I felt that she didn't really focus on their dance all that much and only their clothes. And when she did point out dance moves she only pointed out the things she didn't like. I know she has an opinion, and I respect that, but honestly I saw nothing to criticize. Also I could feel you getting a little tense when she made any comments lol. And finally (you must be so pleased I'm nearly done 😂) I want to say that dancing isn't restricted to genders, and I greatly admire BTS for doing different styles of dancing, and "feminine or masculine", because that takes raw skill/talent.

It's obvious your mum is from a very different generation and her thinking is clearly based on that much older and old fashioned thinking. Perhaps with more exposure to these things, she will become more astute to the diversity in dance types today and maybe more open minded? Dance should have no gender, it is about expression. Also, it can be hard putting someone you love on for the world to see and then criticize so sorry about that. Keep up the exposure.

[@triggeredweeb111]
