what I like about Heejin is that her stage presence is always ON even when the camera isn't on her. If you watch fancams it's like she's never taking a break like many idols (even centres) do once they're done their part. That's what I think makes her such a good centre

You're comment for Jinsoul is soooo spot on. If you look at her dancing closely, you can see she isn't technically great at it (at times her dancing looks heavy, missing some details, lacking in power, etc.), but her overwhelming charisma and stage presence makes up for it tremendously. Heck when odd eye circle came out I instantly thought she was the main dancer. That's the power of a great performer and Jinsoul is top tier at it.

Gowon serves everytime. Her technique is really good. But the fan base overlooks her for being cute

[@marthder9916]

My top 3 are: 1. Kimlip, because her strong point is in the details. And what some of the top kpop sexy dancers say, "detail is what you need when dancing sexy". For example in the clip in this vid, her fingers and the angles of her hips are placed perfectly. Not to mention, her technique. 2. Heejin, because if what you need is someone to bring charisma, itll definitely be her. During mixnine, she ate up every teammate she got each evaluation in terms of stage presence. 3. Yves, because due to her hiphop background and musicality, her body control is off the charts. She will deliver every move perfectly every damn time. The reason why olivia isnt my top 3 is due to her inconsistency to the genre of the dance.

[@mya2173]

It feels good to know that I’m not the only one who thinks Kim Lip is top two in terms of dance

[@vemeli-s8j]

Hyejoo also tends to be a heavy dancer and she has no groove within her dancing

[@chaeyoungslovie]

@@vemeli-s8j there’s nothing wrong with that. Y’all kpop fans complain when idols “under dance” and “lack energy” and then when we have Olivia who gives all her energy and dance with so much power y’all complain as well. What’s the problem y’all have w female idols being “heavy on their feet” while dancing? It’s another dance style. Not all female idols will dance super feathery and light. Also Olivia’s dancing looks heavy partly bc she’s got a more muscular body type than the rest of the Loona members, ever thought of that? Y’all have this mindset that Female idols= light, feathery dance Make idols= heavy, powerful dance And when female idols like Olivia Hye or Ryujin have this masculine dance techniques y’all complain about it. No, dancing isn’t tied down to a gender. Females can dance masculine, they don’t have to be expected to dance light and feminine and same w male idols. Can’t you be open towards all dance styles female idols possess? If Olivia’s energy, power and stage presence is “over dancing” then every idol should over dance. Btw Olivia is an amazing dancer who has her own style of dance, her own personality when dancing and she has the ability to own the choreography like it’s her own, that’s TALENT and that’s what makes her a good dancer. She also has great control over her body esp. her torso and never lacks energy! Plus she’s versatile. Olivia Hye is a great dancer and is extremely talented but Orbits and kpop fans love to discredit her and leave her out of the dance line for whatever reason. Even if an anti towards her still recognize her dancing.

[@adel.mtl31]

I think in terms of technique Hyunjin should be ranked higher cuz she's super sharp and fluid at the same time, she just lacks facial expressions and sometimes her dance may seem awkward cuz of her long limbs

[@lvnsuji5672]

Savage she isn't super fluid tho, that's one of the main issues with her technique imo, she movements were sharp so what and butterfly era but so what era they were unclean. she unfortunately lacks the most precision in the dance line too. don't get me wrong she has strengths too like she sometimes has great sharp movements especially in the butterfly choreography but some of her moves are executed awkwardly and it's even more awkward since she lacks expression

[@twwuwu7527]

Overall as a stage performer, Heejin is the deal. I love how she never slacks and puts on a good show the moment music starts.

[@justarandomguy40]

I’ve watched lots of LOONA fancams and somehow members improved and changed. No one asked but here’s my ranking uWu 1. Yves- a goddess. As for now i can’t see anything wrong with her dancing except for the fact that she looks too fierce and mature to really pull off a cute concept. 2. Heejin- For me, she is at the same level with Yves but is less powerful. However, Heejin’s facial expressions are 100% the best. She fits in every genre. She forgets the choreo most of the time now. 3. Choerry- She’s my all time fav dancer. What I can only say is that her dance is flawless. Theres bits of her underdancing like really bits but goes back right on the track. 4. OlHye- Great in everything but lacks a lil bit of facials. Most of the time her face looks kinda dead. 5. Hyunjin- She has the same thing with Choerry and she is super smooth and you know like she shows how to get the job done. 6. Kim Lip- I ranked her this low because I found her latest dance stiff, even stiffer than Chuu. She underdances from time to time. Its like she got no time to do the steps but she really kills it when shes on center. 7. Gowon- She really does great except she really cant do that much with stage presence. She knows the choreo pretty well and does it really great too. 8. Chuu- For me Chuu is the most underrated dancer on LOONA. When I first saw LOONA dance in the Relay Dance, I thought that she executes the steps really well. I cant see her lack or struggle dancing. Shes just this low because the others are just better than her. 9. JinSoul and Yeojin- I gotta make them tie because: JinSoul is a REALLY great performer that makes her look like a really firm dancer and Yeojin gets the job done and she memorizes ALOT of K-Pop dances. 10. Vivi- Vivi has power but she is stiff. She’s too stiff that she underdances but really executes the steps with power. 11. Haseul- I cant say much to her because i cant really see whats wrong with her dancing. Shes not too good and not too bad. The other members has just more strengths than her.

[@forggstans]

hahahah i liked your opinion!!!! I agree with a lot of things there and you said something I didn't: Yeojin memorizes a looot of dances from other artistas. Yves is better with Sumni but overall Yeojin really surprised me

Also I'd like to say, Chuu is also one of the underrated dancer of LOONA, just look at how she snapped in Yeolgi stage. She snapped hard.

[@hyunjinssoul2354]

Here is my ranking. I am also a dancer, but I wouldn't call myself as a professional since I've had classes for 5 months before lockdown. These are also my opinions and feel free to disagree. (I'll only be ranking the dance-line) 1. Yves - Yves' technique is centered around smoothness with a bit of elegance. She has good coordination, angles and body locks. She doesn't underdance/overdance. Her facials are good, but could do better. She stands out more on urban rather than girlier, more upbeat concepts. I don't really have much to say since we haven't seen much of her dancing. 2. Heejin - Heejin is a power-oriented dancer. She has good hip coordination (seen in her fancam in mixnine) and has the best facials. For a main dancer, she is quite underdeveloped. Dancers that are power-oriented tend to overdance (this was during Butterfly era). She is also prone to tension in her arms. As with Yves, I also don't have much to say because we haven't seen much 3. Kim Lip - Kim Lip is centered around preciseness and gracefulness with a little bit of chill. She has great arm coordination, great dance angles, and footwork. Her moves are clear and extended. She does lack some power in parts that require it. 4. Olivia Hye - A phenomenal idol dancer. She is a powerful dancer. She has great torso control, flow, and angles. I could really see her do hip hop. Unlike Kim Lip, she overdances in some parts that requires chill executions. 5. Gowon - Gowon is the most UNDERRATED in the dance-line. Out of all the lead dancers here, she (in my opinion) has the best body locks. I could really see her potential in popping. Like Kim Lip, Gowon is centered around preciseness. But she's ranked this low because her technique could use some more nurturing. She has soooooo much potential to be a main dancer tho. 6. Choerry - Choerry is lead dancer material. Her technique focuses on sharpness. She has good angles and footwork, facials are great, and I feel like she knows a lot of styles. Choerry really shines on hip hop and tutting. I'd really love to see more of her dancing to really give a proper analysis, but unfortunately, we just have to wait. Choerry lacks proper execution of moves which sometimes looks untidy (during Butterfly era, but she has fixed that quite a bit). 7. Hyunjin - Hyunjin is a great dancer, but she has the most weaknesses in the dance-line. Her technique focuses around sharpness. She has good arm control, angles and executions. However, torso and hip control is lacking, making her look stiff.

[@eunsol7367]

my tops are ; yves - i feel like i don’t even need to elaborate, her only issue that i can see is she slightly tenses up, she just needs to relax lol heejin - her dancing style is my fav of the group, and for only being 16-17 at debut she already had a strong technique and her facials are definitely the best of the group. her moves sometimes lack in versatility, which is really my only complaint. liphye - so for this i was a bit conflicted on who to put higher so i just put both here lol. kim lip has a very sharp technique and coordinates her moves well with each other, mostly on the top half. she has great facials (not as good as heejin or jinsoul). however, kim lip’s footwork in comparison to some other members is pretty lacking. she also seems to have a bit of tension in her top half. oli has a technique that seems to be reliant on torso movements (?) and her torso movements/control is one of her best dancing qualities. her footwork isn’t mediocre per say, it’s just...good. she also has one of the best facials in the group. hyejoo is a VERY *strong* dancer. because her dancing style is so STRONG, she tends to over dance a lot. gowon - gowon, in my opinion, is one of the most detail-oriented members when it comes to dancing in loona. she flows well with her moves and has great control over her arms so they don’t look like they’re flopping everywhere. her technique seems to be very good. she’s also very good at different styles, but thrives in stuff like hip hop (especially popping lol). like choerry, gowon seems to be stiff in areas, but rather in her torso than her lower region. also, when not center, she lacks facials a lot, or looks a bit bored with certain concepts. choerry - choerry is really good at powerful dances and good at controlling her energy through her moves. however, she also lacks a lot of technique in the lower region of her body, such as lack of footwork technique (or if there’s any it’s very weak/not visible), and she seems to be a bit stiff while working anywhere on her lower region. her facials aren’t lacking like hyunjin’s but they’re not up there like heejin’s or jinsoul’s, but then again no one’s really is in comparison to them. hyunjin - hyunjin has GREAT control over her mid section of her body, however she’s a bit of a critical underdancer. her attention to detail when she dances is merely so-so, and she doesn’t appear to have a personal style. she also lacks in facials quite a bit, which holds her back from having a super interesting performance. yeojin - though i wouldn’t really consider yeojin a part of dance line, she constantly improves each comeback and is working towards being the same level of dancer as dance line.

S tier - yves (main issue is that she often looks awkward, possibly because she's really thin, and she has some issues with placements), heejin (best idol dancer, pretty good technically too), hyeju(in between S and A) A tier - jungeun, yerim (lacks energy and power sometimes, but her skills as a choreographer bring her up), yeojin (the second best IDOL dancer after heejin, although not as technically skilled. she can be messy at times, but she executes a lot of choreographies with ease and confidence) B tier - hyunjin, gowon C tier - vivi (God! she often looks uninterested because she's rarely highlighted, but when she's in a concept that suits her OR when she's properly utilized as a member she's amazing), chuu (also really fucking good as an idol dancer, probably lead dancer material) D tier - jinsoul (lacks in musicality and often looks stiff, but she's improved a lot recently! uncover is currently her peak since she was involved in creating the choreography and didn't just learn it), haseul (heavily underrated as a dancer. she's not on the same level as most of the members, but i love watching her dance. she seems to have some education in classical dance and it's really pleasing to see. she's not as bad as YG made her seem, but she does lack stamina which leads her to seem disengaged as a performance goes on.) heejin, yeojin, chuu, and hyeju are the most engaging performers IMO. they're all good dancers

And in fact she had the sharpest dance moves. She’s not just a cutie. She’s a seriously good dancer. I would rank her higher. But of course everyone will have their own opinion.

hey just a little too late (actually a lot) but I love how heejin is an all-rounder, she could be main vocalist, main dancer and maybe even main rapper in another group. also can we talk about how olivia had trained for only A DAY before debuting??? and now she is definitely on the dance and rap line aswell a nice vocalist i love these girls SO MUCH

[@chaeyoungslovie]

Heejin and Olivia’s talent are out of this world

[@thibio_x]

although yves is a main dancer (if only the positions we're actually defined) yeojin, hyunjin, gowon, olivia, heejin are like the best hiphop lines she could actually nail hiphop so much but she's so girlcrush material that she could have both sexy and hiphop-ish thing to be mixed up and be her own concept. periodt. 💅🏽 yves and kim lip could actually be together in both sunmi concept and sexy hiphop-ish concept (ʸᵉᵒʲⁱⁿ ʷᵃⁿᵗᵉᵈ ᵗᵒ ᵇᵉ ⁱⁿ ᵃ ˢᵉˣʸ ᶜᵒⁿᶜᵉᵖᵗ ᵃⁿᵈ ⁱᵐᵐᵃ ᵗᵉˡˡ ʸᵒᵘ ᵍⁱʳˡ, ⁱ ᶠᵉˡᵗ ᵗʰᵉ ˢᵃᵐᵉ, ⁱ ˡᵒᵛᵉ ᵇᵉⁱⁿᵍ ᵃ ʰᵒᵉ) jinsoul, choerry, vivi could fit in any concepts as their character could easily fit in any of those (heejin could also fit in any concepts. although vivi could fit the most in "loona" concept especially "Butterfly" which is kind of a sentimental, but i swear to God, she could actually be a versatile idol, i know its hard to see vivi to be that one since bbc was being a bitch to her but she has a loooot of potential) chuu and haseul could pull up rapping and doing the highnote as high as a mirror would shatter. they can actually have a concept where is somewhat girlcrush-ish or real powerful, these bitches don't come to play. periodt.

[@soobinsbread2930]

I agree but I feel like Hyunjin and Gowon should be more confident about their dancing. It makes them look a bit stiff unsure sometimes. Yeojin is much more confident even tho she isn’t as good technically. I feel like confidence really is key with dancing

[@sierralune222]

I hope we get an updated version sometime! The girls have improved so much

As a fellow dancer, I find this fair and pretty well justified. Confirmed my assumptions and views towards their dance, but my primary reason for leaving the like would definitely be because of the Gowon Disaster Girl Meme HAHAHAHA

First time i've watched loona's fancam is just few minutes ago, and its heejin's on butterfly. Im not lying i literally almost cry watching her dance butterfly's chore cause it looks so beautiful😭

[@larateresa2313]

I love how accurate and also respectful your comments are! Honestly I think chuu is quite underestimated for the potential she has, being an amazing force in lots of different concepts (the girl goes from hi high to heat, like-) and honestly her and yeojin for me might be the ones with most potential for future growth.

[@mr.purrkins1180]

I really love how you were able to give very pragmatic critiques without being rude or putting any of the idols down in order to heighten another one. Huge kudos!

[@SleepEludesMe647]

Very accurate and valid ranking system. Maybe the only things I’d like to add are that I noticed that ViVi has a beautiful way of using her hands and Haseul’s sometimes able to let how much she’s enjoying herself bleed into her dance, making up for technique (a bit like Chuu and Jinsoul, but less frequent). I really enjoyed ViVi’s Butterfly fancams because of how clean, sharp, yet delicate and fluttery she did her butterfly hand motions.

[@forggstans]

really nice points made thxs :))

[@patriciaa5469]

Personally, my favourite dancer is Kim Lip. SHE'S SO SMOOTH I LOVE IT. She has the swag and style that makes u just want to watch her. But I agree that Yves should be first :)) great video though

[@friemel_]

I totally agree with your choices, but one thing you didn't mention for Yves is her groove. That girl can get it, something a lot of (idol) dancers don't have, is the groove. Yves has had this since before her debut. I'm not saying you did wrong by not mentioning it, but I feel like this makes her such a great dancer. Something that she does and that a lot of dancers have trouble with is fully extending her limbs. We all know Loona is tiny, but Yves is the ''tallest'' member of them all. She's got pretty long legs, and lots of dancers have trouble with being quick and sharp. Yves has got no trouble with this, and it shows.

[@lavidawonyoung]

Yves is so understandable our DANCING MACHINE🤩🤩🤩!!!

[@leemingo4427]

Idk, but I think Yeojin should be included in the "DanceLine" or atleast should have a "Dancer" Position...I saw her freestyle in So What BTS in LOONA TV, which made me realize how good she is. I also saw her Cover of Gotta go by Chungha, shes good...and her dance in Line & Up(forget the song) shes also good. And the fact that her Facials are sooo great...bbc should better not sleep on her!!!!

[@beanlentil]

3:22 yeojin dancing to idol, ok? I remember seeing her dancing to Ice Cream Cake and let's say she isn't at her fellow daegu queen level yet (and yes I'm talking about Irene)

[@calling.moon.twelve]

It's interesting you put Heejin 2nd. I've seen other loona rankings and discussions place her below Olivia, Kim Lip, and Choerry. I wonder why there's such a wide range, probably personal taste I suppose. I don't have a ton of dance experience but I can see why you put her so high, she's very consistent in a lot of areas and she's pretty versatile. To me Olivia Hye has this vibe of raw talent and power. She may not be as versatile or expressive as Heejin but I think with time and practice she could get on par or above Heejin. Olivia Hye and Yves are my favorite Loona dancers when it comes to powerful badass dances I think they really shine in those concepts. I think it's kinda similar to Itzy where Yeji and Chaeryeong may be better in technique and versatility than Ryujin but when it comes to powerful hip hop styles I think Ryujin just absolutely blows it out of the water. I loved Hyunjin's dancing in Butterfly. She looked so sharp and precise to me. I think I first really loved and appreciated Choerry's dancing when I saw the Fire cover and the Colors dance break. Her style is so smooth and fluid and elegant. Also shout out to my fellow tiny girl Yeojin. She sometimes gets overshadowed dancing in the whole group but when she does little covers of other GGs she does so well! I love seeing her dominate on those random dance challenges on variety shows. Since I've started dancing more myself, my appreciation for "the worst dancers" in kpop groups has just grown so much. Haseul and Vivi and Chuu keep up with the other girls which is no easy feat! It's a lot of hard work and practice and they deserve props for it. I enjoyed the video, thanks for making it! I'd been looking for a more recent loona dance video. Great job!

[@forggstans]

thanks for the comment :))) i agree very much with the olivia thing, her talent is really big but still raw, the opposite of kim lip, in my opinion, which is a great dancer but because of pure training and hard work.

[@Nina_Meimei]

I'm a Brazilian orbit and I REALLY DIED WHEN OLIVIA DID IT again, thanks for your evaluation criteria, i met your channel today, but i already admire your work

[@iz444]

i agree with u, i cant rank the top 5 tho like.. 1. yves 2. olivia hye, heejin 3. choerry, kim lip +those 5 had the best stage presence and is a strong performers

[@pbbbfft]

10:59 and now we got a jazzy/contempo perf from her heejin choerry and olivia in queendom

[@Domi-uu9rl]

Mine: 1. Yves (no explanation needed, just lacks a bit of concept versatility) 2. Olivia Hye: the fact that Olivia debuted at a young age and still managed to pull of egoist flawless is amazing. i agree she gets the most difficult parts: egoist choreo is the hardest of the loona solos, the floor dance on butterfly, cherry bomb part). I think she still need to works at stage presence, it's not bad but it kinda gets repetitive and her facial expressions don't seem to come natural. 3. Kim Lip: she shines more in smooth as you said, she's really fluid and imo she is the best at butterfly choreo. She has a great versatility and is comfortable in sexy songs which I love because nowadays the sexy concept is rare in ggs. She needs to work on sharpness. 4. Heejin: i know most of y'all say Heejin would be Loona's second main dancer, but I disagree. The main reason I ranked her 4th is because I think she lacks "flavour". She's a very good dance and can pull of any concept and any style, but I think she doesn't give us the real Heejin dancer. I see this problem with Yeji from ITZY for example. She's not generic, but I think it is missing something. She's Loona's best performer and great dancer. She shines the most in sharpness and precision in her moves. Imo she executes the So What's pre chorus the best because of that. All members don't do that move as good as Heejin does. 5. Choerry: I agree with everything you said and I will just say that she's the member that showed us more of the self choreo skill, so she deserves her spot. 6. Gowon: I ranked gowon higher than Hyunjin because I think she's more versatile in concept and style, but they're at the same level. 7. Hyunjin 8. Yeojin 9. Jinsoul 10. Chuu 11. Vivi 12. Haseul

[@forggstans]

wow! nice perspective!!

[@thathumanbeingnobody3468]

um i think the word your looking for is musicality both heejin and yeji lack that but heejin is still a better dancer then olivia despite that, she lacks facial expression, has tendency to over dance and. needs to learn to chill when doing moves that don't need huge amount of forces. but is still overall a good leads but isn't better then heejin when it comes to anything besides musicality

[@stoggfoggn]

its the fact that loona, a 12 member girl group, has no weak dancer, singer or rapper and theyre still slept on for me

[@marciorocha5038]

Could you do an updated loona ranking this comeback?? 👉👈 It would be really nice to know how they are improving with time

[@catfishm]

thank you for recognizing gowons dancing abilities as well as hyunjin. Both of them could easily be lead dancers in a other gg imo. Even if hyunjin has a "dead face" she still looks more gracefull than most of the members. I'm not a dancer but I can just see it so yeah. Also i want more hip hop gowon because that hits different 👀 (p.s, I mostly see hyunjin and gowon ranked lower so this made me happy)

[@quinnleary3568]

Love this vid! Very astute observations of each of the girls. When I first became an orbit, the thing that struck me was how this is a group of DANCERS, and to have a group of 12 performers who are all this strong AND have great synergy is literally magic in motion. Also I know this video came out before they began promoting “Voice/Star” but Yves made the Orbits fucking EAT IT with her solo. One of my favorite choreography moments in KPop history.

[@skyvenger7724]

Guuuurl I swear I have the exact same ranking (in my head) 😂 I really liked your explanation, and at tge end of the day none of them are bad dancers because they can all pull off their amazing Loona choreos and covers and are overall my favorite girlgroup to watch perform because they always fit the concept they are doing and put their 100% And I love how they can make concept that have often been seen to have easy choeros (cute, sexy, gracefull, etc.) So entertaining to watch with intricate formations, grest presence and energy that fits the song and synchronization! There dances like so what and butterfly are amazing, but it's still is the case for Daengx3 and number 1 for example 😍

[@jackgonzalez9215]

Ok, first of all thank you for making this video, I really enjoyed it. So, I'm not a professional in dancing and that stuff, I don't really know anything about it but Your opinion is so professional and well done that I love how honest it is. For me I think that LOONA has amazing Dancers, but of course they are human, they are not perfect. I agree with putting Haseul, Vivi and Chuu on the last positions, because their strength is singing and even visual, but they still have the required level of dancing to be idols. And Yes, Yves is a goddess in the stage, thanks for the video

[@forggstans]

Your comment to Heejin is really on point! Sometimes her moves are more sharper than Yves.

[@awestruckbarely]

i expected yves to be where she is and maybe technique vise yves would be the best but personally, for me, all round best dancer would be jeon heejin. I have stanned from 2ndd gen and i can wholeheartedly say that she would easily go in the top 5 best dancers for me in all of kpop.. she embodies the song so well from her hair to her toes, kinda like chungha and lisa does. and is soo versatile she can pull off anything, from sexy to cute to hiphop.. just my opinion. otherwise i fully agree with your list

[@ubergamer2010]

Loona has such an interesting mix of members with years of training (Heejin/Hyunjin) vs members who had almost no training (Yves/Olivia Hye) but their chemistry is what truly makes the choreography look amazing

[@Luvlry17]

That’s why Heejin and Yves are Main dancers, Olivia, Kim lip, choerry and Hyunjin Lead dancers

First, I loved your video. I hope Loona will get the recognition they deserve. Also I kept saying “what?! How could she (whoever) be so low in rankings?” And then seeing who’s next “oh right, she’s better”. They are all so good dancers that even the lower ones are like top in general. I just would have give Yves a higher score, like 35/10 😂 Seriously she’s a goddess! I knew she would be the first one. I remember watching Butterfly the other day and thinking that her moves were so fluid, it makes the dance more beautiful and surreal! Even in New’s live performance she dance better than her back dancers. And now every time I’m watching one of their dance videos, I’m looking at Yves just so she can blind me with her dance moves.

[@forggstans]

yes!! i really like her, she is one of the most underrated dancers right now, because there is no positions in Loona, so she isn't a main dancer.If she were, I'm pretty sure people would recognize her even more
