I have a head-cannon that this video displaces perfectly. Back when Ranboo still lived in the End, someone close to him taught him how to dance. And when he forgot everything and ended up at the smp, dancing was one of the only things he remembers because its all muscle memory. Since he doesn't know why or how he learned to dance, it fills him with a sort of bittersweet feeling, hence the smile. ( 0:23 ) I also have another head-cannon that Techno knows that Ranboo dances and they often dance together. Techno helped Ranboo learn new moves and helped him perfect his old ones.

His ear twitches. Music? Familiar music? How does he remember this? He hasn’t felt the feeling of “familiar” in years. As the music starts, he remembers. The rhythm fills his heart. He blinks. Once, twice, He closes his eyes and lets the music fill him. He imagines the violin strings running through his hands and legs, telling him where to step and what to do. The music embraces him like a string of violet silk, winding, twirling. His tail swirls around him. He ignores everything else, he has never felt so happy in such a long time. The music intensifies, and he tilts his body back, trusting the music to make sure he dosent fall. He opens his eyes, smiling. He feels satisfied, free from everything. Soon enough, he controls his own moves, changing steps as the rhythm changes, stepping into the time of the beat. Swaying, twirling, stepping lightly on the floor. He dares to open his eyes. He is in control. It’s as if he has been dancing all his life. Why did he abandon dancing? Why does he remember this tune, the moves, and all the moments he has done this? That’s another question for another time, he is having a peaceful moment now. As the music ends, he hears the sound of a curtain being pulled. Tubbo? YES IM BACK PEOPLE!

The fact you are able to portray so much emotion, And make every movement so clear and smooth while not connecting all the lines, it is truly incredible. Good work

[@seattlegirl14]

Aight, the fanfiction brain is running- Ranboo has always been somewhat graceful. He moved like silk when he wasn't thinking too much about how he was moving; it almost was like he was teleporting, how he'd move so smoothly from one place to another. Hanging out with others taught him to slouch, to move carefully, to seem more approachable. But sometimes, when he's alone, and he closes his eyes, he can almost hear a song. He couldn't recreate it if he tried, and oh has he tried, those times in the obsidian panic room. But in those private moments, he lets the long forgotten song move him, and he dances. When Techno, ever silent in his movements from his years of hunting, saw him dancing, he snorted to himself and left him be. They all destressed somehow. When Philza, flying overhead, saw him, he chuckled and went on his way. He's seen the half-Enderman do stranger things; this was one of the more benign things. But Tubbo? When Tubbo saw him dance, he stayed, and he watched. Then he joined in. It was messy, to be sure, and brutally short, due to Ranboo becoming flustered from being witnessed. But eventually, they finally did dance together. And it was a moment of bliss for the two of them.

Head cannon: Ranboo is a really good dancer but is too shy to dance in front of others, when he realized Tubbo was watching him instead of getting shy and flustered about it he invited Tubbo to join him and they danced together because thats how important Tubbo is to Ranboo, so much he'd rather inclue him in something than hide it, even if no one else knows.

[@marsinvirgo]

You managed to almost perfectly capture the grace of a real time dancer, and even better, added character to ranboos moves. Little things like his smile, they way he closes his eyes to count the steps. It's gorgeous. As a dance student and mcyt stan, props to you!!!

This should totally become canon, that Ranboo learned to dance by someone but doesn’t remember who and because he’s so tall and slender he just moves that gracefully. Idk, I think that’s a good idea.

Also maybe Tubbo joins him at the end when he catches him?! 😲😲 Edit: check the reply’s cuz some people added really great additions ☺️

[@MoonlitBookworm73]

Coming from someone who has danced there whole life, dancing is not really something that can be taught or learned. Simple dancing, like this, mostly comes from just moving by how you feel the music. I would suggest stretching, just basic stuff, then just putting on some music and dancing how you feel is right. Gracefulness will come with time and practice, and certain skills you may need a little coaching on, but doing simple things like moving around and twirling don't require much. I hoped this helped a little! If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I'm not a professional, but I have been dancing for about 8 years. I have done both ballet and hip-hop, and my style is kind of a mix of the two. (Dancing is also a great form of therapy and exercise!)

[@ramutenowak1426]

im so good at wriring. observe: As he enters the room, he recognizes. This was the place where he did his first dance. He could almost still hear the faint violin. As he climbs up the stage he’s almost certain they can feel it. The first beautiful high-pitched note brings back memories from when he was just a child. Powered by nostalgia, they start by moving his arm up like silk, and then drawing back in front of their torso. He brings their arm above his head, and they seem to push up as he slightly splays his legs, then straightening them back into a standing position again. He blinks, almost shocked that they still remember the choreography of the dance from so many years ago. His eyes scrunch up as they remember how the crowd roared like a storm when he was performing first. They refocus, and go into a half spin and come back again, tail swishing like a willow branch on a hot summer day. The music seems to flow with him as they dance, elevating the love and joy in the air. They side-step to the other side of the stage gracefully, on his toes. A young boy carrying set pieces passes by the curtains as he hears the faint tapping of gentle feet on linoleum floors. He stops to peek through the curtain to see the strange black and white person dancing like alliums on a windy morning. The person dancing spins, slightly leaning backwards with his eyes closed. They pick up his leg, and their tail seems to flow with it as he gracefully rotates around. It looks to curl around their legs as he brings one of them down. He widens his stance, still being light on his toes, and carefully walks closer to the front, eyes still shut and lost in the music. As they bring his arm up, they swing it to go behind his head. With this motion, they lean back, momentarily opening his eyes and smiling with pure joy. He regains his center of balance and slowly swings themself up again. He raises their arms above his head and brings them back down. They do a small step spin, and the stagehand emerges from the shadow of the curtain. As the dual-colored fellow gracefully steps in a circle, his tail wraps around his legs, following his movements like a long, skinny feather. Carefully, he starts spinning on one foot, their knee bent and one leg half folded over the other. His tail trails behind, while the music swells and fills their heart with joy. He brings one arm to hover over their waist, with the other arched over his head, brushing their horns. His arms open wider as they drop the spin and open his eyes to see the stagehand watching him. He decides to continue dancing, all care lost to the wind. From their standing position, he spins again, and then brings their leg over, in a beautiful and graceful kick, which passes his face as they move it in a circle shape. He throws his arm up behind them to keep his balance. They land, bending his legs, and throw his arms out wide, like inviting a hug. Immediately after, he goes into another spin, however for this one, they kick his leg out straight behind them, and his tail hovers as it trails slower than their leg. He holds their arms out, one above his head, and one above their outstretched leg. Going back into a standing position, he turns around and looks at the shy stagehand, looking slightly shocked at their awed countenance. “Hey Tubbo!” “Hey boss-man. Didn’t know you knew how to dance.” “Neither did I.”

I cannot stop watching this! These movements are absolutely breath taking! 😍 And Ranboo’s face at the very start looks a little surprised- And then happy! It strikes me as he doesn’t remember learning how to dance, but his body does. ♥️

[@SarcasticRatfr]

Its amazing,I love how he is genuinely enjoying it but is unsure where he learned it❤❤

[@SarcasticRatfr]

I can't stop watching thissss AHHH

[@darylia5200]

Don't *ever* let this man dance or sing again. We can't let him disappear completely.

[@iampancake7275]

I’m sad that he can’t T^T

[@Ziv.M]

It keeps braking me that no one revives him

I can't... This is just too beautiful... All that emotions in his dance... music... animation... I'm watching it over and over again and can't stop 😭❤

[@mayumi3709]

This is amazing, I can watch this on loop for hours on end. It’s so fluid and the way you designed the character movement amazes me. You did an amazing job on this!

[@The_Lostfield_]

OMG THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL I LOVED IT! IM JUST WATCHING THIS OVER AND OVER AGIAN LMAO

[@becaanarchy7651]

Oh my god, I hope this comes with a continuation THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL-

[@pumpkinpopstar8648]

Even though you weren’t sure what you were doing, as a ballet dancer I think it looks amazing! Great job!

[@thelying2594]

The way he looked like he was having so much fun!!

[@princeofmoths]

AH- This is so gorgeous, Ranboo's movements are so fluid it's just so beautiful to look at.

[@Krystal_975_etc.]

[@enderguard373]

I love this so much the he moves and the expressions on his face were wonderful. Not me trying to learn how to the do dance.

[@josieclips]

This looks so good!! i love how the tail flows, and that most of those moves are actually ballet moves!

[@emeliesemeralds2811]

Dance improve is literally therapy!! 😊💚

[@Bailey-the-Domain-Keeper]

This looks so fun, just a delight to watch the movements

[@justikiastuckute2709]

i just love how smooth it is and how the eyes just tell you what his emotion is such as smiling ect. I really love this and i really want to animate but since i hate doing the same design over and over it makes me bored and its amazing what people can do with animating, anyways, have a great day/afternoon/night!

[@pohggerechamph667]

Been 9 months, still one of my top comfort videos. Thank you, so much. I needed this tonight especially.

[@sky_producti0ns]

BROOO the movements were so elegant!!! I love how excited he got when he did the backbend love LOVE

[@thiszeeart5975]

[@mwahxoxo444]

This really was VERY smooth and graceful please do not stop this wonderful work of art.

[@livsirtoonski7671]

That was the most graceful animated Dream SMP wip I have ever seen.

[@runequa]

This is beautiful, words can not describe how emotional this got me.

[@ZuliusKaltaris]

Yes me as well I don’t know why but it makes my happy to see a drawing of enderboo being wholesome and dancing 💚❤️ Idk why I added the emojis just felt right ig lol

[@sriissyracha]

WAIT THE OUTFIT FOR HIM IS JUST AMAZING AHHHHH

[@widdleguy_]

Oh wow, this is gorgeous. Ive never seen something so detailed in an animatic before! Great work!

[@b_rabbit1498]

I can't stop watching this. I love every single one of your animatics but I think this one is my favorite!! I've always loved seeing how other people draw dance moves. You're very talented!

[@Daed_Jaybird]

Dang. Now I want to write a fic about this. Kinda thing where bench trio all end up at this abandoned theatre in the middle of the night and Tommy plays violin, Ranboos just dancing, they’re all wearing masks (for whatever reason) and Tubbo is just there to mess with the audio equipment and sees ran dancing and goes to join him and they have no idea who each other are just that they are the random kids they dance with at 2 am

[@kosharameow]

I've been reviewing this for some time, Lord, how beautiful it is. Movement, music... it's all so beautiful and perfectly combined, you are an artist with great thinking and a sense of inspiration.
