Dancers React to [Choreography] BTS 'ON' Dance Practice

[@kam9083]

You’d be surprised at how stable their live vocals are They performed this song at a stadium and I think you’d really enjoy it since you said you love performances w marching bands. It’s the 2020 MAMA performance.

[@i_kpop_fan]

Cue JK running on a treadmill and singing

[@forevabangtan]

Agreed!

[@jenice7284]

Here is a link to that performance, but one thing should be noted before you watch it. One of the members was not in the performance because he was recovering from surgery so you will notice a "gap" in some of the formations and such because they are leaving his spot open for him. They did this for all of their performances during the time he was out, and even now as he is unable to attend some things due to rehab and such. Enjoy the performance kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqHZaYOImMqmnKs

[@mpgisbtsarmybaefighting2838]

I hope they check it out! I think they're going to be Very surprised to find that BTS performs at the level they do live hihi. I can't wait to see his (grey shirt) reaction lol

[@mpgisbtsarmybaefighting2838]

Also, forgot to mention the double basket tosses in the back!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@giny2633]

BTS actually have never gotten to perform this song "ON" in front of a live audience because of the pandemic. The postponement of their tour was heartbreaking.

[@zenhyyh]

This might be their opening song for their concert, imagine how legendary that would be

[@charityhooper2377]

But they did perform it live-ish on Jimmy Fallon at Grand Central Station before the pandemic. It was a live performance, but not in front of an audience because of the size of the performance. They shut the station down for the performance and it was amazing too!

[@just797]

u making me cry 😭😭🥺

[@sugasmeow]

Still have my tickets and I’m ready to go...

[@mth481]

They want to. Probably will squeeze it in when they have their next live concert.

[@giny2633]

If you like their African moves then check out their dance practice of IDOL. They combined traditional African and Korean dancemoves. It was to pay homage since their beat was influenced by the two cultures.

[@knjsdimpIe]

Definitely IDOL....especially the dance practice bc broooo 🔥

[@jerseybultaoreune6107]

Yessssss!!!!!!! 💜

[@bobatae8236]

Yes idol

[@i_kpop_fan]

Also Airplane pt 2

[@Graceo_o37]

The African dance in idol was so fireeee omg I almost forgot!!!!!

[@andreiafernandes8719]

"ON" was choreographed by Sienna LaLau, she is also on this dance pratice with BTS. She is an amazing choreographer. She also choreographed "God's Menu" and "Back Door" by Stray Kids, "Dionysus" by BTS ... a lot more. She is insane.

[@instant_win]

and she’s only 19 years old. she’s also a part of The Lab dance crew (featured here). she’s crazy talented

[@SynnisterSpyder]

She's actually front and center at the very beginning

[@thatkpopsis]

Oh wow! I didn’t know she choreographed all of those songs!

[@flyushkifly]

@@instant_win the marching band is also the Blue Devils. only the best, huh? :-)

[@instant_win]

@@flyushkifly of course, how could i forget!? this whole performance is just on another level. its such a shame that we haven’t had the chance to see it live in concert yet. 😭

[@JoobieLoobieSoobie]

There are two MV's for this song! Make sure you watch the "Kinetic Manifesto" version. Enjoy!

[@chellessong1576]

I quite enjoyed their performance for the Jimmy Fallon show too

[@lzn1006]

Yeah I was confused at first when they called it a music video reaction at the start but it’s dance practice

[@anjuliqnelson]

Oh and also, the choreographer for this song is a very well known dancer in the U.S. Her name is Sienna Lalau, she's only 19, probably 20 now, and she's mostly known for dancing with a group called The Lab (they won on the world of dance), and she's also choreographed for many other K-pop groups as well. If you go back to the beginning she was the very first girl in the middle of the drumline

[@lal4mm]

I'm so glad they saw your comment! I was looking for it!!!

[@sariel8406]

BTS does their live, live. The techs at various music award shows (not BTS staff) have secretly leaked info showing how other groups were lipsynching with their mics off or turned up their backtracks at 80%, or the hard parts were pre-recorded & they pretended to sing them, while BTS does it live. If they are using some pre-recorded parts (usually backing parts), we know because they do not PRETEND to sing them! They either sing live or not at all. Jimin does a lot of heavy dancing at concerts and he typically won't sing all his lines and save his voice for the tough parts because Jimin is mostly tasked with the high notes. JK being the most stable, does the meat of the live singing.

[@diyapatel4872]

not to mention the fact that they suck at lip-synching 😭😭

[@kashalia]

@@diyapatel4872 It's their biggest flex honestly :D

[@nevaladder]

@@diyapatel4872 I also want to argue that no, they don't suck at lip syncing bc they're professionals and part of the job is to lip sync in music videos, but even the Kinetic Manifesto has some terrible lip syncing, so... 😂

[@joaniewwh3502]

good info. just to add, backing tracks are actually essential with around 1000 people in the audience and up... so yeah, it is needed cos bts can go around 60k-90k audience. but, bts do all they can do go live. i guess that's what singing while on the threadmill does. lol plus, hard-work, skill, talents, and more hard-work. bts grinds. they just keep grinding since day 1.

[@sariel8406]

@@joaniewwh3502 yes backing is important but it became a crutch for most kpop acts. For BTS their backing which they sing along to is at 8% max . When they don't sing you can hear the faintest of track, but like ive mentioned, for others its 80% 😁.

[@ChelebelleOT7]

These guys love and respect Michael Jackson and his art of dance. You will see examples of this in many of their choreographies. Due to the pandemic, we have only seen them perform this on video. We are all patiently waiting for the chance to see this live! It’s the first song they want to perform at the first concert they have with their fans once they can! I’m so glad you liked this! BTS never disappoints with their performances! 💜

[@AliasFan4Lyfe]

J-Hope (in the green with the hat) and Jimin (barefoot in the grey shirt black pants) are both the main dancers J-hope did hiphop/street dancing and was apart of a crew and everything for years and Jimin did some hip hop as a kid and majored in contemporary dancing at his arts High School.

[@Smeraldo-ov9bn]

FUNFACT:- One of the members J-hope [green shirt guy] was a famous underground street dancer knowing for his dancing style before joining BTS [he's even won a competition at the national level] and another member Jimin [the one with grey top and hair tied back who jumped over JK before the dance break] was the top student of the entire contemporary dance department in the prestigious Busan High School of arts before he joined the group :)

[@AC-we8so]

really appreciate how you guys truly respected their art. it’s hard and they deserve this type of attention to what they do.

[@solripoll683]

When they mentioned singing live with this kind of heavy choreography. I thought in my mind "these guys have not seen Dionysus live, either in concert or on the comeback stage when they threw themselves to the floor". Yep I feel so proud of BTS.

[@giny2633]

Others have mentioned the choreographer is 19 year old Sienna. Furthermore, BTS' in-house Performance Director is called Son Sungdeuk. He has been with the boys since the very beginning and did most of their choreographys early in their carreer. He's awesome. Then lastly BTS member J-Hope is officially assigned as dance leader, taking responsibility during dance practices and preparing performances. He is the one with the most experience as a dancer/performer. He started streetdancing in like 2006 and has won a national competition in Korea. BTS member Jimin also has a ton of experience, being the top student of contemporary dance in highschool as well as doing popping and variius other styles on the side. Due to his contemporary background, his elegant movements really catch your eye like nobody else.

[@ladylynmedrano3406]

ill recommend you to please watch the "on "kinetic manifesto film this is the choreography mv of on this is good.

[@sssk7835]

This was a great explanation I love this

[@JC-fw9bg]

JHope (dance leader, main dancer) is the BTS member dressed in the green shirt & hat that you mentioned looked like a locker. Jimin (main dancer) is the blond BTS member that you said looked like he knows Afro-dancing and has good footwork right before their moving triangle formation.

[@orangeworm]

@@JC-fw9bg i wouldn't be surprised if jimin looked into afrodancing at some point of his life because he's always very in touch with music so he can groove very well on top of knowing how to execute movements with precision and the right energy. to add on, he's not only experienced in contemporary dance and street dance but also different forms of martial arts, which is very formative towards grasping dance and choreography well, with all the exact poses/actions and level of fluidity that changes throughout a routine or between routines.

[@hvue89]

I love love that y’all noticed JHope and said he’s a locker chef’s kiss* to that

[@TheRedARMYRose]

As a dancer myself I was shocked by the fact that they do a lot of their vocal warm-ups while running on treadmills. They're stable. Stable.

[@blueant808]

😦

[@shanekasydial]

'ON' Kinetic Manifesto Film by BTS is the video you should watch to see the whole choreography being performed because the actual music video doesn't have most of the choreography in it

[@virginiaallison2172]

Yes I was just about to suggest they see the live version of this - they also performed it on Jimmy Fallon in Grand Central Station which is pretty awesome!

[@Missmam_micdrop]

The choreographer is Sienna Lalau! She’s based in LA and dope!! She also choreographed Stray Kids gods menu and back door

[@ruthbukaka8546]

And also Treasure MMM

[@JoobieLoobieSoobie]

"God's Menu" was choreographed by Lee Da-bin and Lee Jun-woo, also known as LOOK Dance Team. Sienna did Back Door.

[@Ahjusshi_Brown]

Now who’s gonna tell them BTS are one of those few performers that can dance 110% AND sing live?? 😂😂 they love to do stuff that proves they’re singing live in their performances too (like when they stop singing/rapping so you can hear there’s no back track) And tbh they don’t even have a choice bc they genuinely cannot lip sync, you can tell from a mile away so they stopped trying very early in their careers 😂😂

[@karenagen6757]

BTS does use the backing track at certain points of the choreo, for instance during choruses. But it is not overbearing so what you hear is their singing. It is just to follow along

[@tessatalarico8328]

If you like seeing big groups being in sync you should react to Not Today by BTS

[@HeyMe7]

Yes was gonna suggest that becuz for real it’s amazing.

[@angie7777-7]

Oh man there is SO MUCH to BTS and y’all need to start now they debut as babies in 2013 and there need for perfection is unrivaled...check out danger, Boy in luv ,concept trailer for bulletproof (that will blow your mind), then some newer dance practices for Fire, Idol, and NOT TODAY

[@susancraggs241]

BTS are trained running on treadmills while singing so that their singing is stable …they never lipsinc ..some members have even stopped rapping or singing to show they are singing live

[@princesszyracaoile1597]

j-hope is always on fire when it comes to their choreography's I've never seen that man slipping and that's just amazing ❤️

[@ellie_jeann]

You be seriously surprised how stable their voices are when singing, rapping and dancing at the time LIVE, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED you react to their MAMA2019 especially MAMA2020 full performances; It will blow your mind. They have amazing breathing control and stamina!

[@willow2447]

Yes yes yes!!! They are scores above any group out right now. It’s just facts.

[@elle9392]

BTS is the number one band in the world for a reason. Welcome into the rabbit hole.

[@ArmantoAlex13]

These back up dancers are called ‘The Lab’ led by Sienna Lala, who at only 22 years old, happens to be the choreographer of ON and several other BTS songs! She and her dance group made their first big debut on The World of Dance - 1st or 2nd season (?). She and her group and amazing and their youngest dancer is about 9 years old. Sienna choreographed and performed with her dance group for J-Hope, for his performance at Lolapalooza!

[@KristinaMikova-ty3ty]

there is thing with bts that they singing live while doing this crazy choreographies....they have backing track for some little parts just to catch a breath

[@ellie_jeann]

There is only seven members of BTS, the extra people you see is the a dance crew known as a The LAB lead by 19 year old female (I don’t remember her name) who choreographed the dance and the drum line is The Blue Devils; they also used Church Choir. *She is shown in the front in their Kinetic Manifesto Film*

[@mth481]

Sienna LaLau. She was only 17 when she made the choreo. Amazing!

[@LovingMyBeloved7]

They preform this at Grand Central Station just before covid took over at 3am for the Jimmy Fallon show and it's amazing. That performance was my 1st time see BTS and it took my breath away. They are amazingly, talented humble humans and we are blessed to have in our lives.

[@army4life456]

BTS actually sings live without pre-recording their vocals. They have trained singing while running on the treadmill.

[@adrxdeedrich5091]

They do actually have pre recorded/ backtrack that plays and sometimes louder than their voices for specific parts of their live performances . They are human , they are the best possible live performers but they do actually make use of the pre record , listen carefully to their live performances , jimin and v particularly .. jimin particularly that has to belt out high notes while vigorously dancing , will usually be aided by the backtrack for those notes.. their mics are also auto tune, not much but to help them for a smoother sound and to save energy for dancing , they have beautiful voices but it's not possible to not have pre recorded playing at the same time while dancing , they would not be able to do a great performance without the help , they are the best at dancing and singing and there is just no way that any performer can do it without aid and mics with sound effects to make voices sound stable ..

[@army4life456]

@@adrxdeedrich5091 Some of the songs have backing vocals for the intense choreo parts but if you watch live performances there are some where someone will hold their mic up for the crowd to sing a part and there isn't any vocals playing at all. I just saw this yesterday during a live performance of a medley where Jimin held the mic up to the audience during a couple of his parts and there were no backing vocals at all. He did this on Dynamite before and only one time did I hear a back up vocal and ironically, it was a very deep voice and that voice had autotune. So that clearly was not Jimin but a background vocal. I'm pretty sure it was the dance break version where he did the taekwondo spin before his part. I saw some print outs for the sound engineering for some award shows in an article and BTS was one of only a few performers that did NOT have a pre-recorded audio track. The bottom line is that BTS doesn't rely on pre-recorded vocal tracks to lipsync over and they don't need auto-tune to sound good live. They get accused of that constantly when it's simply not true. They have worked extremely hard and trained vigorously for years. I can't think of a single Western artist that could perform even just 3 live songs at the same level of singing/rapping/dancing BTS does without collapsing or sounding awful. I find it annoying when people feed into the anti narrative that BTS lipsyncs or relies on auto tune, because it is used to disrespect, demean and devalue them.

[@zeyz193]

-They incorporate many different dance moves in their choreographys. Their main choreographer [from predebut (even before their debut in 2013) till now is Son Sung-deuk. One of the two main dancers and who is also the dance leader, J-hope, learns the dances in a really short time, helps the other members with the choreo and also helps with the building of the choreo as well. -They also sometimes have side choreographers, for this dance mainly, people in the comments left the choreographers name. -Since you noticed that there are African dance moves in the choreo as well, you might like to check out their “Idol” Dance Practise. They incorporated their Korean traditional dance moves and also the gwara gwara and shaku shaku if i remember it right. The song has traditional korean beats, the songs meaning is also special, having heavy connection to their culture. You might want to check out the legendary “Idol Performance 2018 MAMA”. -They sing live btw. With a backing track at time. Its a really hard thing to do but they pull it off and show amazing performances everytime. Same as their concerts. You can check out their concerts later also. Getting a ticket to those is like hunger games.

[@vickiekaiser60]

BTS's transitions and formations are like magic tricks to me

[@AngelaSealana]

"This Is It" is one of my favorite documentaries ever, for exactly the reason you said. MJ's passion for the art and the details was absolutely beautiful. Green shirt j-hope is my bias in this group because of his similar mentality. All the guys are passionate about their art, but Hobi (as we call him, pronounced like hope-y but with the B) is a perfectionist coming from the street dancing background, so he has the professionalism, skills, passion, but also that innate grit and groundedness. Taj Jackson, MJ's nephew, immediately recognized BTS' Dynamite song and choreo as the homage to Michael that it is. I'm glad other ARMYs introduced y'all to BTS. Throughly enjoyed your passion in this reaction.

[@AngelaSealana]

P.S. Son Sungdeuk is their Performance Director and he choreographs a majority of their performances, but this one was by Sienna Lalau

[@laura-de2ju]

Michael Jackson you said? They did a whole choreography for a song that is heavely inspired from him. Dynamite, hope you check it

[@JC-fw9bg]

Up this comment! ☝️ Also, BTS’s Dynamite dance break during the 2020 MMA was a complete homage to Michael Jackson and was awesome! Jimin even wore a jacket that had Michael’s signature white band around the arm.

[@Moonastronaut]

@@JC-fw9bg I came to big up the dance break also

[@doeeyedkookie]

Jhope the guy in the green shirt yes is a pop n locker. Unquestionably one of if not the best performers/dancer in k pop. He is the dance leader in bts and us a stickler for detail and works hard as an individual dancer but also inspires and supports the other members.

[@anac4146]

If you want to see this live with this rgroup of dancers who are from LA you have to watch the performance at Grand Central Terminal on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon , if i'm not mistaken it's the only time they performed it with that group cause it was just before the pandemic. And if you'd like to watch how the music video came out you should watch the BTS 'ON' Kinetic Manifesto Film : Come Prima

[@heyheyho2966]

they have dance teachers but also their dance leader that is one of the members "J HOPE" is a huge part of the members learning so shout out to him too ..i really like the reaction hope to see more

[@ucheejeagwu1962]

The guy with the hat you were talking about is J Hope, he was a dancer before becoming a rapper.

[@jmomm]

I was 10 when Thriller came out. MTV played that video once every hour for months!! A classic! You are 100% correct on the behind the scenes of Thriller, must have watched it DOZENS of times! BTS puts in the most work of anyone I have seen in DECADES!! That is why there are so many BTS fans in their 40s & 50s. We were in a performance desert for YEARS in music videos!!

[@madonnahoskins6643]

Definitely check out Jhope's " Hope on the Street". It's basically JHope showing off his dancing and popping and locking skills. It is amazing.

[@yesicac4479]

In the music video "ON kinetic Manifesto Film" they put this choreography into practice, from beginning to end, it was excellent, I suggest it. They also did this performance at the GRAND CENTRAL TERMINAL for The Tonight Show .. or you can see it at the MAMA2020, they rented a soccer stadium to do it ( and they added more things to the choreography, it was amazing)

[@Athena-bh1ok]

j-hope is the main dancer and the dance leader. I really love how his vocals are always stable in every performance

[@vanithaak7742]

[@rier7998]

"Those little things like that is beautiful to us". Felt that.

[@kam9083]

They performed this song at a stadium and I think you’d really enjoy it since you said you love performances w marching bands. It’s the 2020 MAMA performance.

[@JC-fw9bg]

There’s a dance practice as well for their 2020 MAMA On performance.

[@shannelj5497]

Their transitions are phenomenal! The amount of transitions they have in each song is crazy. For this performance the choreographer was Sienna and she’s only 19!! dancers were from the lab in LA and this was all done in LA too

[@marygreer4036]

Great great reaction/review. One of the best I've ever seen. In addition to The Lab, the UCLA marching band also took part in the Kinetic Manifesto version at the LA Sepulveda Dam.

[@erume5776]

Taj Jackson (MJ's nephew) praised Jimin for amazing tribute to MJ in the Dynamite MV, he said his moves reminds him of Michael Jackson. he also pointed some similarities between Jimin & MJ which are both perfectionist & strict with themselves on Jimin's bday MJ's official account tweeted JM & JK's "Black Or White" dance :) you have to watch this performance

[@mamabearlovesbts6087]

Just came across your channel and I can see your live for dancing. I did look back to see if you had reacted previously to BTS, I did not see anything, if I missed it I apologize. I am a 64 year old woman and absolutely adore BTS. They have a lot of dance practices you can watch. Thank you for taking the time to react to one of my favorites. Will subscribe with the hope of seeing more from you on BTS. By the way, their fan base is called ARMY. 💜💜💜💜💜

[@taexdw1868]

the dancer with the hat and green shirt you pointed out is actually their main dancer!! he was a street dancer before he joined bts you guys should also check out their black swan choreo!! they go kinda crazy with some contemporary vibes in there edit: you guys GOTTA check out the fake love dance practice as well!! it has a lot of marionette style concepts in it

As dancers, you'll like J-Hope from BTS' mv Chicken Noodle Soup. He paid homage to it because it was one of his fav songs back in the day. It's so clear he's a dancer not just from the lyrics but the respect he shows all the backup dancers in the video

[@nataliehuynh7525]

Since you mentioned African dance you should definitely check out a live performance or dance practice for their song “idol”, I really think you guys would enjoy it :)

[@margrett]

I hope you guys are not confused or anything but BTS are only 7 members and their back up dancers for this specific performance is the LA-based dance crew, The Lab. 😅 If i'm not mistaken BTS only performed this song with The Lab 3 times, twice during the MVs shooting(they have 2 mv's for ON, one is the dance performance mv called ON Kinetic Manifesto which i highly recommend you react to and the 2nd was for the official music video) and 3rd on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show where they performed at the grand central station in new york. great reaction btw! We don't have a lot of dance reactors who break down these types of practices so this was really great. Looking forward for more. 😊

[@betulefe3271]

BTS dance teacher name "Son sung deuk" 🇰🇷👍

[@lizbethlozano1633]

As someone who was in marching band during high school, when bts released this song it made me think back to marching band. This is one my favorite songs from bts, it brings back the memories and makes me so happy

[@vennalace2114]

Our boys sing while they’re on the treadmill, and they practice 15 hours a day in their Choreo they are very hard-working , and they sound amazing live while dancing

[@taptaphello123]

The best thing about BTS is their passion for their art. One of my favorite things about BTS is their dance practices. Can't wait for you to find them.

[@bliss6969]

BTS are really good at telling stories with their music and it definitely reflects in the dancing too. I woul love to see you analyse the "DIONYSUS mma 2019 dance practice" It's insane the execution and precision for such a complicated routine with PROPS.

[@helenscott8202]

Just found you. Danced (amateur) until I was 50 (now 78). Found BTS 4 days ago. The synchronicity is mind blowing. The blocking is mind blowing. I don’t know if you have been catching the dance practices. (Did slightly paid choreo for 8 years). To have dancers break it down as I see it, thank you, thank you, thank you! Even tho other dancers that have done reactions, None go for the overall blocking, design, the different dance styles that seem effortless, the changes in levels, and vocals while dancing, etc. Again, thank you. It helps so much to have someone else verbalize what I am seeing.

[@timmiemarshall3978]

Their concert tour was cut out in 2020 for the obvious reason. In interviews, BTS has said they cant wait to perform this live for their fans. It's going to be insane.

[@boragone]

I’ve had the privilege of having a father absolutely insane about MJ and Janet when I used to be a kid. When I wanted to progress in english around 15 I listened to the lyrics and translated them and watched back every single video MJ put out including of course the behind the scene. He truly was the King. Also his and Janet military style kind of dance are my absolute favorite they’re so intense without being try hards everything is immaculate. You should add that every single person who had the chance to dance with MJ, in a music video or a concert performance were so talented they all opened their own dance school. About this dance, what’s unbelievable is that the choreographer is actually DANCING with them, she’s the super fierce one in the center right in the beginning. She did her own reaction video to the MV she’s so young so talented her transitions are nothing short of perfect. The crew is so in sync it’s like they’re breathing with the same pair of lungs, have the same heart beating and they’re all so full of passion the way they encouraged the members during the dance break was heart warming. I think the best performance of this was at the Jimmy Fallon Show at Grand Central. They had to go 4 times straight and still gave more than 💯 every single times. We can see in BTS movies and series documentaries that a lot of times they need oxygen right after performing they need help getting off the lift and to walk they faint. And the thing is they catch a lot of flack for having a voice crack here and there when they’re actually singing live while other kpop groups use a “live recorded” version where you hear them fake breath snd shit. Keep on nerding and geeking out my friends that’s why I subscribed to this channel, for the professional opinion us ARMY know the clout chasers who loves everything everyone do and jump up and down for the bare minimum shit. PS: they confirmed that their choero for Idols was inspired by a South African dance. Blood Sweet and tears song was heavily inspired by reggaeton and moombahton. The 7 members compose but 3 of them are producing almost every songs. One of them won the Producer of the Year award, two of them were on 2020 BB top 10 list of best producers. Their official choreographer who’s been with them since before their debut is called Son Sung-deuk he has also won several awards and revolutionized kpop choreography scene for the sharpness of his choreo, the transitions, the use of several type of dance ( hip-hop, crump and even modern dance!) at first he was really tough about being perfectly synchronized which brought the overall level of the genre UP and then he gave each members their own movements their own time to shine while style having incredible out of this world cohesion. Their label used to be so poor the CEO was/is a producer and the choreographer used to be one their backup dancers. Your journey just began, friends (also would you please put some respect on that Black Panther comic book on your wall and straighten him up PLEASE this is eating me from the inside!) Lots of love and respect from France!

[@udabaeornaw9051]

wow! this was such a delight to watch. im cheesing here at y’all nerding out and showcasing your knowledge! i especially thought it was really cool how y’all could easily pick out the guy in the green shirt & hat as a popper! his stage name is j-hope and he’s their main dancer and dance leader - before joining bts he had years of experience in street dance and pop & locking. i hella respect and admire people who can flex their expertise like this :) if i could recommend another bts dance practice to watch, it would def be Dionysus. the THEATRICSSSSS. there’s the standard choreo that they would perform on tour and there’s also a special number they put together for an awards show (MMA 2019) that includes a siiiiick surprise dance break in the middle. I think y’all would really enjoy watching both!

[@btsbuttermay2146]

There's a version of this performance where their mic feed is highlighted. It's amazing hearing the live singing. OH they love MJ!!! You would really love the 'Dynamite' performance at he MMA 2020. But choreography. Goodness so many I love, black swan, Blood sweat and Tears, oh gosh Dionysus too. Fire is exciting, spring day is heartfelt. But honestly I think it would be great if you could see a live performance of theirs with the energy for the crowd and everything!

Wait...instead of watching the MV I *really* think you guys should react to their live performance of this at the 2020 MAMAs They brought out the whole band and even added more dance breaks and dancers, it was amazing

[@seleneleandra1896]

Explains as one of the amazing things they can do. The transition on their dances if kind of unique 🥰

[@pennyyoung3997]

They performed this live at Grand Cental Station in New York City at the Jimmy Fallon show.

BTS - ON choreography has always been first place in my heart.

[@uuseer01]

"The hat guy" you said was smooth is our Dance Leader jhope 🤭🤭

[@sitirohanahashim6745]

Hi...I am a 56 years old lady from Singapore. Welcome to BTS. If you enjoy this you must not missed out BTS performance at MMA Award Show 2019. This is history where you do not see anywhere. It is an experience you will not forget.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@ILmylife108]

Hi! We represent the older ARMYs, and there are a LOT of us!!!💜

BTS (and Kpop) usually "commission" choreographers around the world. *Keone Madrid* , *Brian Puspos* , *Sienna Lalau* , are a few names in US that had choreographed some of their songs, sometimes it's also co-creations. Then at the end it always goes through Mr Son Sung Deuk, their Performance Director, who can change some parts of the routine if needed (he has also choreographed some of BTS songs). In conclusion, for the "Who's their Dance Teacher?", We would all name Son Sung Deuk at some point, because he's the leader (Director) of their "dance/performance crew", even tho he's not necessarily the choreographer for every song, nor the one who always teaches the boys, but he's always involved. Then, the members are also free to take classes from other teachers as well, take private dance classes, attend dance studios (but this are some information we don't get much) 😅

[@Frizzychrista]

The choreographer for ON was the young and famous Sienna Lalau. The practice was in California or New York as they were preparing for a live show. When they performed ON at an awards show they were on a football field, and they had the whole UCLA band and gymnast. Their dance teacher is Mr. Son. You may want to see the commentary of ON. You will see the back story of the band, gospel singers of the entire album of Map of the Soul 7. Enjoy going down the rabbit hole.

[@MyJungkookie]

Yesss I was waiting for this reaction thank you guys 💜💜💜💜💜

[@Tange27]

I am glad to find choreographers that are enjoying the while performance of BTS and their dancers! The first thing that caught my eye about them was how clean they dance. Welcome to the rabbit hole that is BTS. There is SO MUCH MORE for you to react to. I would definitely suggest reacting to their dance practices. Their live performances are so incredible, and don't skip those, but you can often see details in practice that you miss in performance!

[@amaliamorris7164]

I am not 100% sure but I think the choreographer for this piece was a nineteen year old well known choreographer and she was dancing with everyone too. I am not too sure but someone might give you a more detailed description. You guys would definitely love BTS Dionysus dance practice. I would love to hear your input on the use of props and the large group. Love your reactions XD

[@green-rj1rg]

Sienna Lalau. She has a reaction video to the MV.

[@MrSnapperama]

I love yalls energy!! Thank you for the reaction. 2019 MAMA performance and dance practice are amazing, and it was all just for an award show! 💜

[@elle9392]

The main choreographer for this is Sienna Lalau. She was 18 years old when she choreographed this. Genius. Check her out 💜

[@minhosfebreeze8163]

I’ve seen a lot dancer reactions but your explanations and just insight in general is so amazing and the fact you were able to know Jhope’s a pop and lock dancer just shows your knowledge and experience with dance. So thank you for your reaction and commentary I really appreciate it ❤️

[@bubbleg4529]

I would like to see you reacting to dynamite with the dance break, it reminds me a lot to the Michael style and it would be amazing to see what you have to say about the choreography. Thanks for the reaction and sorry for the broke English.

[@crushedflora2696]

So enjoyed your reaction! The one in the green oozing swag you said looks like a popper, he's J-Hope the dance leader. He was a famous street dancer before joining BTS. BTS has behind the scenes (their channel Bangtantv) of this dance practice and the dance music video called On-Kinetic manifesto.

[@lixjoonhoneymt7149]

crazy part is they ALWAYS sing live... even if their voices are messed up they will sing live... and because they sound so good live a lot of haters have said they lip-synch, so on multiple occasions they stop singing and all you can hear is the beat or ARMY screaming the lyrics for them. i think most ARMY will agree with me on this statement. BTS is great, their music videos and dancing is undeniably amazing, they are irrefutably talented; BUT they are better live. Even if you watch a video of them live, you can feel the energy and see the talent. info on dance line J-Hope (Hobi / Jung Hoseok) [green + khaki & hat] : Street Dancer for AT LEAST 10 years before joining BIG HIT (their label) Jimin (Jiminie / Park Jimin) [gray hoodie + black sweats & blonde hair] : studied contemporary dance in High School, but before that learned how to do popping in middle school (i think he also took ballet classes) V (Tae & TaeTae / Kim Taehyun) [all gray fit + white headband & black hair] : was only originally a vocalist, but after his solo track 'Singularity' of the 'LOVE YOURSELF: TEAR' album he was officially added onto the dance line. Jungkook (JK / Jeon Jungkook) [white shit + black pants & no hat] : he joined BIGHIT in 2011 (he was 13-14) he is an all rounder when it comes to performance (we dont have much info on pre-debut JK because... well he was a child)

[@kaykay8262]

The man you were talking about with the hat and the green shirt, his name is J-hope! You were so right about his dance style being locking because he does! He has a background of street dancing and he’s the dance leader of the band. He’s one of the 3 rappers of the group. Love how attentive you guys are (I mean, you’re dancers 😂 that’s guaranteed). Loved the reaction!

[@Justin_Seagull]

BTS performed this routine in a dance video. You might want to check out ON: Kinetic Manifesto. This was rehearsed and shot in LA, some time in February 2020. This was supposed to be the opening number for their 2020 stadium concert world tour (their 2nd stadium world tour), but sadly, Covid happened and the tour was postponed. They first performed this live at Central Station (NY) for Jimmy Fallon's show. When they came back to Korea after their US promotions of their album at that time (Map of The Seoul: 7), they performed this in some Korean music shows, but without an audience. Until this day, BTS have expressed their frustrations multiple times for not being able to show this routine live with their fans: ARMY. It looks like next year could be the resumption of live concerts, so we're hoping we'd see this live, finally. Although we don't know if it's still gonna be the opening number because they're gonna be releasing a new album soon.

[@kweste2376]

I've been looking for reactions like this! Love the "nerding out." That's what is enjoyable to watch! It helps me know, as a non-dancer, what to look for and what is important and/or hard to do from a dancer's perspective.

[@Leticiabeatriz99]

YEEEESSSSS!!! love your reactions

[@jii-e7d]

ouhh you reaaaaally reallllly reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally need to watch a live performance of ON!!!! love your passion! subbing for that

[@lorettacastaneda2758]

When they did this dance practice they were in California, Los Angeles. The marching band in this MV was ULCA. They did a hella job. They also had a gospel choir for the backup vocals. They filmed the Connectic Manifesto MV at The Sepulveda Dam here in LA. They had a behind-the-scenes with UCLA and the gospel choir. Check that out. They were here in California for about a month filming On and Black Swan. They filmed Black Swan at the FOX theater in LA as well. That one was a good one too. Check it out.

[@bf9369]

j-hope is who u wanna look more into 👌

[@Raynstor.m]

Omg I am just seeing this reaction for the first time and you made a comment that I have been saying since I first saw the MV for this song years ago. They are about to bring down the walls of Jericho. That is how I feel every time I see any version of this song. Then all the visuals in the official MV damn I knew they were about to go to battle and take on all the other bands and claim their place in music history. 💜 Thanks for this reaction.

[@Nashley07]

You guys should react to the Black swan practice of bts

[@minxiemayhem4133]

Michael was my first favorite artist at only 4 years old I had his buttons and posters all over my walls. Absolutely yes! I have seen that behind the scenes of "Thriller "and it is banging!! BTW, I am a dancer as well. Ballet as well as modern. I adore hearing your guys's passion cuz it brings out my thoughts and passion and all the stuff in the center of me.

[@armystacinator6732]

I don't even know where to start, lol. You guys are awesome, I loved your reaction and your knowledge of dancing. BTS has talents you can't believe. And they very much love and are influenced by Michel Jackson. They have spoken several times to his nephew and he has given them his blessing to pay homage to his uncle. You definitely need to watch their MV Dynamite. They pay so homage to Michael. Also their live performance on the 2020 MMA awards for dynamite. They do a brake down in the middle of the song and it's a tribute to MJ. They also do not lip sync any live performances. They have backing tracks playing so they can catch a breath or do costume changes. But they always sing live and will deliberately take breaks in their singing just to prove they are singing live. I have never seen a live performance like theirs. Even the King MJ who's was fabulous live. BTS has taken MJ's live performances and turned them up about 10x. I am by no means disrespecting MJ. He is one of my favorite performers of all time and he will never be replaced. BTS is BTS, no one else. We are their fan base called ARMY and we will be more than happy to make suggestions or answer questions for you. We love seeing new people discover our boys and see how remarkable they are. They have so much content that is why ARMY can help you with what you would like to see most. If it is their dance practices they have tons and it does show their incredible talent and discipline. You would also probably really enjoy their guides so you could learn more about them as people and about how they got started and how far they have come. Sorry this is a long comment. There is so much to BTS you have no idea. But I am so glad you have hopped on the train and I hope you continue the ride 💜💜💜

[@escarlettovii9685]

I suggest watching their Grand Central Performance or even a comeback show performance, they sing live and it's unbelievable. You can even watch MR Remove if you want

[@juliaannisa6204]

Please react the another dance practice by BTS, they are the amazing dancer

[@kaonieoh]

The performed this song live on one of the Jimmy shows. They closed Grand Central Station just for them. Yes it's with live singing. Check it out.
