Dancers React to Agust D ‘해금 (Haegeum)’ Dance Practice

[@theskyhasmoods]

Suga dancing is one of my biggest inspirations. He didn't want to be a dancer and here he is putting all of his energy into a solo dance. And for such a song! I feel like I can do anything just watching him

[@gingeryoongisupremacy7826]

yoongi was a bboy before he got his shoulder injured

[@heeismine7]

He’s actually such an amazing dancer I need to see more of his perfect dance moves

[@cathyt4939]

Your comment said it perfectly...his intensity, his energy and his performance inspires!

[@heystobeatingmymochi78]

Proud of Suga. I was surprised to see him doing a dance practice video for his song because I did not think he would do one. Great job Suga 👍

[@DiogoChris]

Why would anyone come at you, Clay? You're a dance instructor, so i expect nothing less but professional constructive criticism 😊❤

[@steezystudio]

Haha, you already know how the internet is like 😅. Some people don't know that these critiques all come from a place of love and respect

[@marinal.]

@@steezystudio sad but true

[@yimikageorge1164]

Dw, ARMYs understand it’s from a respectful place. Thank you for the review! I’m also looking forward to SUGA’s further growth and confidence as a dancer following his shoulder surgery.

[@LynnHermione]

@@steezystudio You know that comment was so funny bc Yoongi does NOT look people in the eye XD So yeah his eyes are usually away from places, the other boys used to tease him because he will not look at them when dancing

[@paulaortega3756]

One of his superpowers is that deadly stare before he comes at you. I like him leading with his eyes.

[@nightingale4786]

the thing i admire so much abt suga is that 10 years into his career as a member of the top group in the world, he has no real reason to improve in dancing if he didn't want to. but the fact that after healing from his shoulder surgery, he decided to go back to the basics and learn hip hop before his solo shows his dedication and passion

[@evantesseract737]

I loved that too. He said he knew he'd skipped over some of the foundations so he started over. Because he wanted to, that's all. No one would have been disappointed in him if he didn't! Such an inspiration. All of them, in their own ways. 💜

[@dopex89]

that's why I love BTS, they love their art, and ARMY. This is what drives them and it shows.

[@boredkueen8784]

Hes definitely one of the more underrated members when it comes to dance. Hes so clean, and his fancams are often my favourite. He doesnt steal the spotlight necessarily but he gets it DONE

[@evantesseract737]

He used to say he worked hard to be a good enough dancer not to be noticed. 😅

[@blueangelsfan4072]

I luv Suga's Black Swan performance, I think he shines.

[@lameglaron5]

We wouldn't come for you Clay😂💜 you always give such insightful comments and critics that I think any artist would appreciate. I love how you continue to discover more of each member of BTS💜

[@steezystudio]

Appreciate y'all 🥺

[@marinal.]

@@steezystudio u nice keep going!

[@mrsrockbison]

@@marinal. why did I read this in Jimin’s voice 😂😂😂💜

[@onyabeia832]

People often forget that he couldn't really dance properly due to his shoulder injury. The last few years the pain was so bad that during touring or intense rehearsal before comeback, he couldn't move his arm and shoulder anymore without a daily injection in his shoulder to numb the pain a little bit (just remember their choreos have a lot of jumps and movements so imagine the pain). That is why now since he had the surgery he even smile so much more and he dance with so much more energy. Also even though he had the surgery he can only still raise his arm to a certain level. So yes he has improve very much since the end of his surgery recovery. Love your show. Love your input and it surely help us learn things. Also it is very entertaining. Thank you

[@evantesseract737]

He moves so much more freely now. Chronic pain is terrible. And their choreo has never been gentle on their bodies. I'm so happy we've had all these months of Suchwita and performances and open, happy, passionate Yoongi 💜

[@alix7095]

Aside from eating up the dance practice, Suga is also the sole writer and producer of Haegeum. He raps, produces, writes, dances, arranges, sings, plays multiple instruments, and performs. It's time we appreciate his many skills, not just his rapping

[@evantesseract737]

I think most people do, don't they? He's famous as a producer. I mean, yes please talk about it more, the man deserves it 😁 I just really do hear a lot about that end of the work as well.

[@sandrahatherley2184]

He is so talented and so are the other members.

[@eileencritchley4630]

We do, we do

[@hansooled]

one thing i want to add is that the critique clay gave for suga is exactly what he praised jimin for when he said that he guides us where to look through his eyes.... interesting thank you!

[@bellrmr]

Suga a.k.a Agust D a.k.a Min Yoongi dancing is one of my favorite things in the world. To be honest, I love his energy and his gestures. It's so amazing knowing that he was a b-boy (and really good at it) before his shoulder injury, and now, after the surgery, he tries to learn from scratch to dance (obviously, not b-boying but, the same), while continuing to produce, compose, and everything else. He is so, so talented, humble and kind that he deserves the best in the world. Thanks for the reaction!

[@sarahmiller5133]

I love that Clay always adds critique in his reactions. Always educational, always something I can add to my own dancing.

[@chenydolce]

Suga actually used to bboy before his shoulder injury when he joined (or was it while he was trainee?) BigHit. I do love his confidence. He’s not a dancer, but Meow Meow loves it =^_^=

[@bubmins]

seems like a lot of people don’t know he was into bboying and it makes me sad sometimes lol. i’m like okay guys u are kinda wrong but that’s okay! his footwork imo has always been really really good :)

[@chenydolce]

@@bubmins sames. I guess people make that assumption because he’s not necessarily in the dance line.

[@deya.entertainment]

He improved drastically since last bts dance practice and I’m happy to see this progress 😊

[@janetuss6496]

He and RM didn't even want to dance in the first place, but they both became great dancers. The fandom doesn't give enough credit to them for it imo.

[@ketsiamayenne8844]

and Seokjin !!!

[@raprilc2]

We do. It is just something that is brought up continuously by the guys…because they still don’t WANT to do the choreo. Lol

[@jesss757]

I think we give them lots of credit . We always compare them to themselves and not the dance line. We see it when they improve and shout them out for it.

[@yimikageorge1164]

I’m not sure where you guy that impression from lol. They’re down to dance for their team. For the Busan concert, Nam Joon and Jin started learning the choreo a little earlier than the others (refer to Hobi’s Suchwita episode). They DO want to learn the choreo and they’re dedicated to giving their best to their team.

[@raprilc2]

@@yimikageorge1164 some of them dislike the intense choreo. Everyone knows that. They are vocal about it.

[@melikexa]

Suga actually used to b-boy before he crushed his shoulder in a motorcycle accident. there are still a few videos of him out there from his trainee days where he was b-boying:)

[@tomatee4326]

Omg, really?! How do I find them?

[@MidnightxCrow]

​@@tomatee4326 yup, he used to talk about it a lot before during their rookie days

[@beyondfan]

I saw the tour! The dancers were great, the show was so emotional and incredible to see him perform as a solo artist. I really appreciate what you said about Suga's gestures and dance... so very true. Obviously at this point he is a dance, in that he has been training and dancing for may years now, but it all comes back to the rap for him I think - lyrics, rhythm, attitude.

[@alecalbright7560]

Thank you for coming through and supporting💜💜

[@reallee57x87]

Suga dancing solo is so great to watch and see him grow as an artist. His confidence is off the charts! Alec you are so cool and Clay I love your reactions, your critique is always positive and on point. 🤩🥰

[@lucidlusin]

I love how hard Suga has worked! His shoulder is finally better and he said "I' gonna take dancing classes and show out" and damn he did good

[@mollyhoyer3356]

I definitely think anyone in BTS absolutely deserves to be confident in their dancing because they made it through over 10 years with j-hope leading and teaching them, in addition to bighit's standards, which are honestly super high, I think. hybe's style is not easy to pull off. like, they know that not just anyone could do what they did.

[@evantesseract737]

The ones that find dance the most challenging - they stuck it out and worked so hard and succeeded. So much respect for that 💜

[@nehirgunes]

pls let us see more of Alec I'd love to watch an interview with him about the d-day tour🙏🙏🙏

[@alecalbright7560]

👀 put me in coach!!

[@Homotron3000]

Gesticulation 😭.. I’ve always wondered what word would be used to describe that, but it makes sense ! I’ve always noticed rap line are very good at directing their rap with their gestures, I mean, hobi is granted, but joon and yoongi are also really good at it, makes their lyrics sound more genuine and strong for their cyphers

[@leahbuzzybee]

What's crazy abt this whole vid, is that I knew of Alec from steezy before I noticed him as a dancer on Yoongi's tour! Crazy how things can collide!!

Thank you Clay! And thank YOU, Alec - for bringing positive energy to the stage and being an awesome dancer. That's how our faves are able to shine the most.

[@alaska1538]

I love how his backup dancers know him in and out, makes a great team

[@glossaria2]

The incredible thing about this was that he DIDN'T do this dance in the MV, or in concert. He created this JUST so ARMY would have a dance practice video to enjoy (and the ensuing challenges). BANGTAN💜ARMY

[@KathehFIT]

[@HailToTheMeep]

Yoongi has became so much more confident and comfortable in his own skin that his dancing has completely been transformed to this amazing style that’s part swag part dance. So unique.

[@evantesseract737]

I remember seeing it in Run BTS - Yoongi destroyed us all in that dance practice 😂 and even more so here. I love it.

[@HailToTheMeep]

@@evantesseract737Yes. Rum BTS was when I first saw him totally in command over a choreo. Almost as if he is finally dancing HIS style. Like seeing Jimin dancing the Like Crazy choreo. It was HIS. This is why I love BTS’ Chapter 2 so much.

[@pyejammiesfanfic640]

Yoongi went into training thinking that he would not be required to dance. Well, that didn't last long. He's a confident and accomplished dancer. He really enjoys dancing now and learns new routines quickly. Some of BTS' dances have been painful for him to execute with his injured shoulder but he hung in there until his op in 2020. He said that ON and Black Swan finished his shoulder off so that he was not able to lift his arm. Now recovered he's back in there dancing with energy and obviously enjoying himself. It's always made a bit of a joke that he's a genius but it's proved to be true on this tour. Thanks guys for reacting and what a lucky man Alec is to have been one of the back up dancers.

[@kaleighcoutermarsh4922]

I literally swell with pride when I see him dancing like this! He's come so far and seems so much more confident. And I love his gesticulation!

[@peacetea1001]

ok Alec pronouncing haegeum FLAWLESSLY?!

[@alecalbright7560]

It was the opener on tour and quickly became one of my favorites… had to do it justice😍

[@evantesseract737]

I think Suga would be **delighted** to get that constructive critique from a professional dancer, Clay. It's a great note, and if you're getting to that kind of refinement... Then he's dancing well. I know how that kind of feedback feels 😊 He's worked hard at dance recently and it's so cool to see him really enjoying it. For years he was dancing with a really messed up shoulder... now that he can dance without that kind of pain, he's been starting over with lessons. I liked your point about his gestures and I think he's developing a style that builds on his physicality as a rapper - strong gestures & a lot of bounce & all the swagger in the actual universe. It translates really well, to my eye. He's enlisting now so it'll be a while before we see more of his dancing, but I fully expect him to win a talent show or two 😂

[@maryannbaxter73]

Kudos to Min Yoongi. He has improoved tons in his dancing skills. Bet he put a tremendous amount of work here. SUGA has to be now on the dance line 😂

[@BC-xx4pe]

His hands always leading to success period! ❤

[@amg531]

he used to bboy pre-debut! so I always remember that whenever he's slaying faster footwork! his dancing was definitely impacted by his shoulder injury before having surgery and he has worked so hard in the few years its been since surgery to essentially level up...yoongi is definitely an underrated dancer!

[@laineefenton1676]

Also Alec you were amazing on tour man! You murdered it🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@alecalbright7560]

Thank you so much!!

[@s.susanmarandi9080]

I would never have thought that he's not a dancer; his stage presence and energy was such that I couldn't look away to watch the back-up dancers, although I tried, lol.

[@andreaxyloholt2347]

Appreciate the insights and I love this choreo he did for Haegeum!

[@btsxanime81]

Min Yoongi is full of energy when he dances, which I agree comes from is staccato rap style. He is always fun to watch and I get excited when he raps. It fills me with energy. :)

[@raspberrytaegi]

that was dope! great critique and tidbits from tour. i would have liked to see a bit more analysis of the moves themselves (what are they called? what styles (e.g. krumping) are they influenced by? how is he creating high impact and sustaining our attention?) but i can understand there wasn't that much to work with since it was such a short clip. looking forward to future projects, the work y'all have been doing with BTS lately (seven, d-day tour) is amazing!

[@alifc1082]

Good to see this one, don't know why it didn't had a great circulation... It's a cool choreography, as needed on the Haegum energy and to see Suga as the protagonist.. His confidence, his attitude, his progress as a dancer...

Great eval as always! Ironically, as much as Suga didn't want to be a dancer, he did used to be a B-Boy back in the day. He ended up messing up his shoulder so he had to stop which he has now gotten surgery on.

[@heyvaedryn]

CLAY!! I've never heard someone mention the eye thing and wow it's spot on. Never realized the impact of that.

[@junie7]

I am sure Suga will also appreciate that critique. He started taking basic hip-hop lessons just to prepare for this song and the tour!

[@ivanatrip4504]

When Clay mentioned the eyes I noticed it but not on every movement. I feel like if SUGA has seen that on playback he would have recorded it again no matter how tired he was. That's how BTS keeps their place as kpop kings--doing whatever it takes to create the best performance.

[@heianneeve3341]

My man Yoongi is the best performer my gosh he practically prowled like a panther on that D-Day stage had us all in the palm of his hand - Absolutely epic tour & I love his complimentary dance vid 🔥 his energy & passion is always on fire I love him to pieces.

[@Michelle-qg7kn]

Suga's groove and footwork probably came from b-boying, there's video on KZbin of him hitting a flip and hitting b-boy moves before debut(i actually dont know if it was before or after his shoulder injury, probably before) but still, knowing he had a fundament of dancing, makes sense why he's still pretty good.

[@laineefenton1676]

you know what Clay, i know Yoongi/Suga would take that critique on board and do it, why, because he has J-Hope as his dance leader (stickler for details our Hobi) and Suga is always looking for ways to improve. He might be who he is (rapper, producer, songwriter 1/7 of the BTS, genius, useless encyclopaedia) HOWEVER he was and is a student first and always willing to learn and grow. That's why he's at the top. A fantastic critique, wouldn't expect anything less from Clay & the Steezy team 💜💜💜

[@Jooney91]

I like Suga's dance style. He is not particularly "professional" - you can see in his movements, that he's not that precise as j-hope or Jimin. But he is naturally able to go with the flow of music with his body control and adding a confidence to it so it just look good in the end anyway. Oftentimes we see dancers who are technically good but lack confidence and it ruins their performances completely. He doesn't have this problem at all.

[@penpad5555]

Yoongi’s insatiable hunger for success bleeds through, from his days as a trainee til now. Never satisfied, an achievement only makes him move the goalpost. Take notes, family!

Suga became a trainee sometime in 2010--2011. He had to learn to dance. So he has been dancing for 11 years. In the past year, he started to take actual dancing lessons rather than learn a specific piece of choreo. He said he has now come to really like to dance. He enters the military, probably next month, so it doesn't look like he will be improving his dancing skills for a few years

[@bvdempire8438]

Great job I have learned a lot from you

[@chrisbaltazar7164]

Fun fact. There was a Suchwitawa episode with Jhope and it came out that Suga actually wanted to be a b boy in the beginning

[@OffTime]

Suga used to do Bboy. Jhope confirmed it and he told Suga was good. And at one point suga wanted to be a dancer instead of being a rapper or producer😂. Later he had to stop because of his shoulder injury. But from last year he started his dance class again after his surgery. He has started to learn dance by starting with basics. He has improved a lot. Its good to see him dance without pain. And its always good to have constructive criticism😊. If one don't receive, the growth of the person remain stagnant.
