[@7thCobweb]

I feel like you and jhope could communicate only by making dancer-sounds. “Dum kat dum kat ba ba ba ba aaaand one aaand two”

[@heathenpotato]

"pah pah pah pah pah pah pah"

[@MissSassie]

True lol ;)

[@zdrpd]

"5, 6, 7, 8 pah pah pah.."

[@noicentoit.]

and i can imagine yoongi just behind them with that judging face

[@cathysivan9557]

and "bababababa" lol it's so funny

[@moonbear890]

RECAP: 1. Jungkook is clear cut like glass, strong and precise= earth bender 2. Jimin is elastic like a rubber band, movements have fluidity= water bender 3. J-hope is joy personified, movements have warmth and to die for musicality, a LITERAL sunshine= fire bender CONCLUSION: THEY ARE BENDERS DISGUISING AS PHENOMENAL KPOP ARTISTS! LOL this is what I gathered from the video analysis haha jhope is actually kinda like air too but the guy is such a huge ray of sunshine XD

[@rikilikemagic]

I LOVE AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER!! :O

[@banan7308]

Wouldn't jungkook be an air bender then 👀 Earth is firm and grounded but wind is precise and sharp

[@jeoncooky7404]

ATLA FAN OMG😭💓

[@heinous505]

It's true that Jungkook would be an Airbender, although now that Taehyung had also officially joined the dance line, he'd be the Earth Bender for me. His moves are so.. So strong. I don't know how to describe since I'm no professional or anything, but all of them definitely have their own styles. So I personally see Tae as an Earth Bender--

[@kotaleartist]

jimin being a water bender makes sense because like in water, you don't actually stop moving.

[@anoushkaa.7038]

One of the best things about BTS' teamwork is that they know when to own their spotlight and when to give the spotlight. In this dance routine each of them outdid their roles as the central attention and the other two flanking them did their best to make him look good. Jungkook owned his part, Jimin owned his part and Jhope owned his part. They don't have that hunger to steal someone's shining moment but instead try to make it as their duty to further highlight that shine. It's beautiful and shows their ethics as performers

[@musicnut1966]

Well put. I believe that that is, and will continue to be, their strength as a group, a team, and a family.

[@brettshair3151]

*YES*

[@Moon-cc1un]

true

[@blarmy827]

This is bts personified , it’s the same with their solo music and stuff... they’re so supportive and I’ve never seen a competitive moment between any of them seriously when it comes to their solo stuff or solo parts on group performances. They’re always pushing each other to take that spotlight when it’s their time to shine... this is very hard to find in a group of artists... it’s beautiful to see !

[@scyythe403]

the looping was a great idea! It helped keep my attention and I feel like I understood your explanations more.

[@madieferr966]

Jungkook makes me think of molecular model because I can clearly see the structures and the processes that goes through in his dance. He's that precise. Jimins dance makes me imagine a vine that never stops extending and growing. His movements and body parts always find space to synthesize and reach out for more possible spaces to cling onto and develop. With Jhope I feel like he has a complete control to the very last sub-atomic particles of his body. He has a picture perfect image of the movements in his head and his body just utterly follows him spatially and kinesthetically. 3J brings out the forgotten biology major in me and I love them for it.

[@rikilikemagic]

See, this is what I love! Everyone can come to art bringing their own background with them. Thank you for sharing!

[@madieferr966]

rikilikemagic I didn't know I can express this much because I'm not a dancer but bts and your circle time brought out the art in me. Kamsamnidaaaaa

[@MissMusic4Life100]

okay something I noticed is when you talked about Hobi being able to dance within the pocket. With Hiphop; rap you actually do that too and one thing Hobi is excellent in and which not many can do is rap outside the pocket. When the bar finishes the sentence does not and I wonder if he may be able to do that bc of his great sensitivity while dancing. That bc of his dance and sensitivity to music he has been able to incorporate it into his rapping. The first person to introduce raap uotside the pocket was Biggie and honestly it rlly is not somethin you can just pull off.

[@rikilikemagic]

This is so so interesting as I know nothing about rap! Thank you for sharing!

[@bigtothebangtothebangtan5118]

strawverrybunny One Thing That Really Frustrated Me (In The Good Way)Is I Don't Think Hobi Knows That He's That Gifted. Ahhh...I'm So Frustratingly Love These Boys.

[@pppezzz]

Ooh I've never heard of this as I'm not well versed in rapping, i just listen to bts rap line do their thing. Now I'm definitely gonna see hobi's in a new perspective. 🖤

[@Nessainthebuilding]

Another thing that RM has said is that when it comes to making a melody to go with a verse J-Hope is fantastic at that. That a lot of the songs J-Hope has written he created the melody

[@rebekahtaylor4484]

Listening to Hobi's mistake, I can "see" him dancing. I agree with you that his dance dackground gives him that extra edge with rapping/singing.

[@unnoramal]

When j-hope comes to the front for his part it really does make me happy too! I think what we feel at that moment is j-hopes excitement and joy for his part to dance? You’ve talked about that smile that he had on his face and I think when he walked to the front and opened his arms it was like a invitation to watch him dance but also to start dancing too and to feel the same kind of energy. For me personally every time I watch j-hope dance, I really want to join him!

[@blackpearl1937]

I have never seen jhope struggle with any move or a dance style. Ever. He can actually do anything. It's insanity.

[@Moon-cc1un]

nods. He learns in minutes what others take hrs to learn so yeah.

[@severineamelia9069]

What I love about this video with these three extremely powerful dancers, is that you can clearly see the dancing background of each member. Jimin’s movement is so distinctly contemporary, (as in I can see the contemporary base, not that he can’t dance in other styles), compared to J-Hope’s, who has a much more popping-ish hip-hop style way of moving. Jungkook is kind of a mix of them both, I find. (None of the above comments were negative, I love them all as dancers, and just find it fascinating how you can see their backgrounds and unique styles so clearly, and how they contribute to the overall dance.)

[@caycecarson]

I agree totally! And I think that's why I enjoy watching this video so much, because they have such distinctive styles. It makes it super engaging for the viewer, I feel like.

[@Moon-cc1un]

That's cool that you see that. I always feel that JK learned a lot from Hobi and Jimin. =0)

[@lexymarko2109]

jhope is basically made of music. It's like it's his first language. before he spoke korean his body spoke music. every time I watch him dance I feel like he sucks me into this magical world of ttakttak boohhhm bbabba, y'all know what I mean? He's so damn inspiring I love this man so much. every time I watch him I become a better dancer also on another note: I only just found your channel and damn I'm in love. I appreciate your knowledge so much. I could never afford dance classes and I'm hella slow with following dancers when they teach. and the things you say are so ahh I love you

[@nel6436]

Ahh I love your reaction/ analysis videos so so much since I'm a dancer myself and you don't even know how refreshing it is to hear that Jimin is powerful too. And I'm saying that because many people say that "Oh compared to a street dancer like J-Hope, you can tell that Jimin was a Contemporary/Modern dancer, because his moves aren't as energetic and powerful" and those comments make me so frustrated because that's not exactly the case, and you explain it so so well for people who might not know a thing about dancing

[@MissOmomomomo]

Nelly Hamster honestly people who say jimin's dancing isnt powerful is either blind or is just refusing to see his whole ability. Jimin's dancing is a lot of things, i cant even put it in words. Alot of his parts in bangtan choreos became the "killing part" and he's know by the korean general public as a powerful well rounded dancer who can do both hip hop and contemporary. But idg why some ppl likes to put him in a box for "contemporary" alone as if thats the only dance genre he had mastered. Jimin started with hip hop and had done it longer than he did contemporary. He's more than just "an elegant contemporary dancer". He can be powerful when he needs to be powerful and he can be poised and elegant too. He's alot of things. There's tons of videos of him dancing to prove that. really tho jimin is a real dancer thru and thru and anyone who said otherwise is an idiot.

[@dilaylad1903]

Riki is entertaining to watch when she finds delight in the "purring cat" that Jimin hides deep down his dancer's body and unleashes from time to time to murder us with his smoothness. I like Riki. xD

[@Moon-cc1un]

yep

[@faithhaight]

I love how they act as each other's backup dancers. Like you said in your Tomorrow video, they know when It is thier time to take it up a notch and then also know when to let another member take the spotlight. I like how they are there for each other, even if it's just a hand of the other's shoulder while they're grooving to the beat. They play off of each other so well and I think that is really fascinating to watch.

[@victoriaodegaard1]

Circle Time! When I think of Jimin's dancing, I think of it like a river or a stream. He's a classically trained ballet and lyrical/contemporary dancer so he learned from a young age how to move fluidly through all his movements. So I feel that this comes out in his dancing in that he's always flowing just a little, even if the music pauses (a head slowly rising, a shoulder leaning, etc...) Jimin has a soft personality, and I feel that this kindness comes through in his dancing. He is a slow burner. But he knows when to up the ante (ex: that one move from Fire, the iconic one near the end when he's in the front). It's funny that you mentioned a cat because he has one in his Serendipity trailer solo video. And I think it matches his personality so well... I think he particularly loves cats which seems fitting. I always love watching Jungkook dance because (as you've said), he's always so very clear in what he's doing. He's got this technical precision and energy that pulls you in because it's very smooth and sharp. It's hard to describe but I just find myself drawn to it. Something I notice he does that I haven't seen in the other BTS members is that when he looks up, there's an intensity there. It could have to do with the way he keeps his head slightly down and is looking up more with his eyes, or that he's turning his head slightly to the side but that look matched with his dancing makes you even more invested and pulled into what he's doing. Of course this is a tech. practice but that moment when he looks up is a little example of that look that does all the time in live performances. J-Hope is just always a high energy ball of sunshine. You know this is his passion, that his high energy mood matches the steps that he's doing. He's very sharp as well but there's a kind of confidence in his movements that is unmatched. Let me put it this way, if limbs could smirk, his are perpetually doing so. I've never seen him not give 100%, no matter what kind of practice it is or how tired he is. And as a dancer who has trained for 14 years, I can really appreciate that. He really is the second teacher in BTS. The first is obviously the choreographer that works with all of them but there's only so much time he's allotted to teach it so those who have more trouble picking up the choreography or even just want to practice it so their movements are clearer go to him to help them with particularly challenging steps... and I think that's absolutely fantastic.

[@Moon-cc1un]

That's cool

[@kudgeond755]

Looping: double thumbs up - I love that bit, love that bit, love that bit! lol. I said Bingo! when you went right at Jungkook's strength - the first thing I noticed was the stillness of Jungkook's center, which comes from extremely strong core muscles. His core strength makes his torso very quiet, balanced and stable, which translates to greater strength, flexibility and freedom in every move and gesture. It allows his movements to be quick, powerful and explosive or fluid, independent and fully extended or whatever he wants to do. Because his core is so strong and his center doesn't move everything else he does appears to be effortless. I think it's what gives the sense that he's defying gravity at times, like his body is hovering while his limbs act on their own.

[@gabrielaizaguirre523]

what about after that NOPE? J-Hope dose this golden turn! it makes me feel some type of way! his legs go first and then his torso and his whole level goes down a bit but his neck is like a rubber band. like there is a delay or something where his neck is being stretched before it pulls his head to follow after the rest of him! then after it's caught up it goes a bit farther before it snaps in. CLASS!!!

[@dud9083]

Again... Let me begin by saying I have no training in dance, it is just one of my passions... First... Jungkook is one of those dancers that causes me to hold my breath when watching him. He is entrancing to watch. His movements are so explosive, precise, and perfected. He is so extremely powerful in his movements, I don't know whether to cheer out loud or sit silently with my mouth agape. For me, I can't pick a favorite part of his section routine, because his strength in dancing is my favorite, and that is throughout his entire performance. Second... Jimin... Watching Jimin dance makes me want to learn how to dance. He is one of those dancers that makes me tilt my head to the side and watch them with puppy dog eyes. I find myself sometimes holding my hand to my heart when I watch him dance. I don't know how long he trained before BTS, but you can definitely tell he has had some level of legit dance training due to the emotion he can convey through movement. My FAVORITE part of this entire routine is at 19:29 when he does those shoulder pushes/ upper body twists... I honestly let out a weird moan/huff every time I watch it. His lines when he does that are just stupid good... I don't even know how to describe what I want to say. Third... J-Hope... Gosh... I LOVE to watch him. Like, I SERIOUSLY LOVE watching him dance!!! He makes me want to experiment with dance. Try different movements, different timings, different styles... He's beautifully light on his feet, to the point where I just giggle at his abilities. His movements are so clean and crisp, yet flow like water. It's mind-boggling to watch sometimes. His arm movements at 21:09 make me smile at the preciseness of his movements to the music/beat. Then when you pause at 21:13 , his stance in comparison to Jungkook and Jimin is another level. It is a COMPLETELY different move than what the others are doing, even though they are in sync with each other. And his love for dancing is SO EVIDENT when he dances. GAH!!!! He is so good and so inspiring to watch!!! Thanks again for these videos!!! Your happiness and absolute love for dance is contagious!!! Also, your analysis of their dance, from a dancers perspective, is extremely interesting to hear. I love your reference points and descriptions. The looping clips worked out wonderfully!!! I always look forward to your videos!!! Thanks for sharing, and keep smiling!!!

[@simranjitkaurkhalsa5501]

Jhope was a street dancer before he became part of BTS. JIMIN used to dance popping since 8th grade (14-15 years old). After that he moved to Busan High School of Arts in the modern department. He was one of the top students and clearly very talented. you can find out his pre debut videos on youtube.

[@madalyn2151]

I love how you point out all three of them and their different strengths as dancers!! Thank you so much for looping the clips, it's so nice of you. Your videos have made me watch their live shows and dance practices differently and I feel like I appreciate all 7 of them as dancers and performers much more. Thank you for your amazing videos!!

[@TheNoelRhesa]

I love the moment right before Jimin actually starts dancing when he bounces a little on his foot. Idk why but it makes me feel like he's grounding himself for what he's about to do, like it's his last "breath" before he starts and it almost gives me this feeling of anticipation and then as soon as he starts he hits so sharp. It's amazing. I really love to watch it. It's small and almost barely noticeable. But I love that part. I loooove how you describe or make note of the shapes that their bodies are making because it makes so much sense to refer to it that way. I've always seen it but never thought to refer to them as shapes but it's so simple and makes so much sense to me. One thing I really love about Jimin dancing, is the suspension in his movements. I call it suspension but I don't really know what it's called. But it's that space between the sharpness/ cleanness of each of his movements. Because there's that breath there and it always feels like he's almost suspended. Not harshly but very melodically. It's amazing to see and so pleasing for me. It makes me feel like all of Jimin's movements are conscious thoughts that he's making but so natural and spontaneous too that they don't feel "rehearsed". I feel like it's one of the ways that Jimin knows his body really well and it translates so flawlessly. It's like he knows what he wants to say with his body in a millisecond and he's constantly making these decisions when he translates those thoughts or feelings into movement, into the choreography, it comes across so flawlessly, in my opinion. I think it's what makes Jimin's dancing so mesmerizing for me to watch. It makes it feel alive. (And I'm sure this won't make a lick of sense lol) but it's almost like he's deciding how he's going to do a move each time he performs it. And where he practices and I know that he really does practice; I feel like Jimin is a perfectionist, he's also living the choreo different ways each time. UGH! I hope that makes sense! >.< He knows his own body so well, that you can feel that connection just watching him. It's so captivating. Just like you mentioned earlier, JK knowing his strength, which I LOVED! OMG! One of my favorite comments because it's sooo true and it hit me so hard, gave me goosebumps when you said it. That's the same I feel about Jimin in this sense. He knows his body so well (I think that's what I'm trying to say lol, I really hope this makes some kind of sense lolol).

[@rikilikemagic]

This made all the sense! You explained yourself so well because I really relate to that deep sense of understanding Jimin has of himself and his body. It was so well written! Well done and thank you

[@annapacio2877]

Noel Jenki wow just wow...you just perfectly described the elegance and amazingness of Jimin's dance...like you've given us the full detail and explanation of how artistic and talented jimin's dancing style is..much appreciated. thank you!😘

[@TheNoelRhesa]

jstburself its_me omg! Thank you so much! I was embarrassed by how long it was >\\\< and I was so afraid it wouldn't make any sense. Thank you for reading it! I absolutely love watching Jimin dance. I feel like if you couldn't see his face, you'd know it was Jimin by his dancing 💜 it's very distinct to him. I admire the way he moves. I'd love to hear what you see too 😊💕

[@annapacio2877]

Noel Jenki oh i'm not a dancer and an expert..lol..but definitely you dont have to be one to appreciate and identify how powerful and amazing Jimin's dancing skills is😉..i have seen so many idols who are indeed great in dancing but jimin's dance line is indeed one of the best in the industry and he keeps on improving coz he is a perfectionist.

[@TheNoelRhesa]

I'm not an expert either hehe ☺️I just love to dance and I love to watch dancing, especially Jimin 😍(and all of BTS ❤️). You're right, it doesn't take an expert for Jimin's dancing to move them 💜

[@SeesawGame7]

I think my favourite part of this dance is when Jimin does the like not-really-a-moon-walk thing, because what his feet are doing isn't super complicated but like its everything that he add on top of it. like the pop every time his foot moves back and the way his upper body moves, his shoulders opposite to his feet then on the last one down, and everything is just so sharp but also fluid aaaahhh! also what you said about Jungkook's strength. one of my favourite things about dancing hip hop in general is that i get to pretend i'm strong even though i'm not. and maybe i'm not pretending very convincingly to an on looker but to me its convincing and it's one of the only times i get to feel physically powerful. and Jungkook's dance style reminds me of that and i like to believe that maybe, just maybe, that power fantasy feeling is part of why he chooses to dance how he does on focus on strength in a way the other two don't.

[@wipadasawangsalee5364]

I just love Hobi's part. Just like you said, you could feel the joy when he was dancing to the song.

[@7thCobweb]

Jimin totally takes it to the last fuckin second istg. So much tension but it’s oddly satisfying. Also his stance reminds me a lot of ballet... lol

[@monostar7]

15:57 - 16:06 *ME* me every day, 24/7 me, same, me all the time about Jimin, wow me?? S a m e I love how you describe their way of dancing, i completely agree Jungkook is so crystal, he's sharp as a knife jdjdjbfhfd and then there's Jimin who's basically water at this point and then we have Jung "Complete Body Control" Hoseok who just dominates the stage the minute he steps on it and then pops his way into space and i just- I have too many emotions

[@gabrielaizaguirre523]

u think he's like a cat, Riki thinks he's like a cat, me too, same... them there is Jimin who calls himself a calico cat in serendipity. illuminati confirmed.

[@Delphine945]

So this is honestly how I view their dance styles. Jungkook is pin point choreography and power. Jimin is passion and power in his dancing. And J-Hope's dancing is all about feeling the music and emotions. I hope that makes sense.

[@jasmynewilliams8494]

It’s ridiculously late but I couldn’t help but to find this video again after watching it a few weeks back. I just simply adore how different Jungkook, Jimin, and Hobi are. Jungkook has so much strength so his movements are so sharp and clear, which is something he admittedly said he’s been working on. I also couldn’t help but notice how when he dances, he’s completely different than how he usually acts. Kookie is such a playful but quiet person and when I see him dance, I see nothing but passion and energy and you can tell he’s trying to show you something, but he doesn’t continuously make that eye contact. I think that’s why I’m always drawn to him when he’s dancing because I want to see him let his guard down a little. (This is going to be ridiculously long I’m so sorry.) Jimin is almost like the complete opposite. He’s so flowy and he has this soul that he puts into every movement so you can see him improv and make the dance his own. He glides and smooths his movement together and I feel like I’m watching hip hop contemporary when I see him dance😂 J-Hope’s smile alone keeps my eyes glued to him. It’s like he’s so excited to show you what he has and that really entices his audience. In his solo particularly, I couldn’t help but notice that he becomes the voice in the song and he’s trying to have a conversation with you through his body. So some of his movements are sharp and some flow, but there’s a good balance in between that I watch over and over just to see how he did it. But when all three of them dance together it’s like they all flow together so well so their differences aren’t as obvious and I BLOODY LOVE IT😭 I’m sorry I love watching them dance😭

[@hoeseokjung2158]

10:37 This is so weird but I’ve actually had that EXACT moment happen to me in real life and still can’t explain it right. At the WINGS tour during Spring day, Jungkook (along with the others) did this dip thing before walking backwards. As he lifted his head and body, his eyes latched onto mine and he didn’t look away until he was done moving backwards and HAD to look in front. His eyes didn’t roam or leave mine and I was close enough to tell he was looking right at me. I honestly felt like I was put into a trance or like we just communicated through that one look. I literally felt like he just saw my whole life story in my teary eyes. It lasted maybe 5 seconds but it felt like time was slowed down. Like even talking about it makes my eyes water and my throat tighten. Weirdest and best thing that has happened to me EVER.

[@marizzobell]

I'm trying to imagine what it would feel like to experience that in real life and all of them end in the spontaneous combustion of my soul. HOW DID YOU EVER MANAGE TO SURVIVE THAT?!?!?! I mean, just trying to envision this has got me hot all over and absolutely out of breath - like wow. WOW.

[@hoeseokjung2158]

Alias I was already sobbing at this point but I don’t know dude! My friends mom was like hugging and holding me up because I was crying so hard. I almost was on the brink of passing out the entire show! My head was like pounding so much that my J-hope hat was hurting me. I have never cried so much in front of strangers. Felt exhausted and couldn’t speak for FOUR days afterwards. There was like a strange sense of reassurance or sympathy or something in his eyes. I’m not even explaining it right and I don’t think I can. 😂 It’s like he was asking why I was crying but at the same time knew why and was saying “it’s okay”. It was literally just like the movies.

[@marizzobell]

HOEseok Jung My entire SOUL is aching from the description of your experience. That's so amazing and beautiful and mysterious and powerful like I honestly lost my breath while reading this. AND THAT BIT ABOUT HIM COMMUNICATING WITH YOU - afkhgbsfkgvjsrngjnae I can't EVEN. Like, it was real for you and I can't get over that because it sounds like such a fairy tale. (I'm talking to myself here but) IMAGINE looking Jeon Jeongguk in the eye for 5 whole seconds. I'd catch fire (or fall in love but I mean I'm already there so whatever) I'm really just shook at how shook you were and also oddly proud of you for having the BLESSED fortune of experiencing this AND FRICKEN SURVIVING. I'm pretty sure I would die.

[@hoeseokjung2158]

Alias This is also gonna sound nuts but I felt so good after the concert. Obviously not physically but spiritually and emotionally. I was really horribly depressed in 2016. I cried every single day, told myself scary things every day, and had really bad panic attacks. March (month I went to the concert) was always a reminder of someone I lost when I was a child. I don’t know if it was that entire experience or just that look but something really healed me. After that I had only had one panic attack in 2017. Just one. I’ve been thinking of painting it because it was so crazy but I just haven’t had time. Literally everything was out of focus but Jungkook’s face and eyes. That was the biggest memory for me at the concert.

[@marizzobell]

HOEseok Jung None of that sounds crazy. I can't speak from personal experience but I can relate on a fangirl spiritual level as to how that could be life changing. You had an amazing experience and I'm so glad that it made you feel better and that you ARE better because of it. I think you should definitely paint whatever you remember from that night if you can so that you can have a physical reminder of it for whenever you need it.

[@Kaeldra3]

Thank you so much for these. I found your channel last night and ended up marathoning a bunch of your thought videos and your enthusiasm cheers me up like nothing else. Hearing someone talk about something they are passionate about in such an honest and relatable manner really helped me to feel better in my own skin. Today I took 3rd place in a portfolio showing for my college and for every interview I imagined that I was talking to you about my art pieces. It really helped me imagining speaking to you about something that I put my heart and soul into because I felt like you had done the same thing to me in terms of dancing when I watched these videos. I don’t know if you will see this but I wanted to say thank you. These little rambles mean so much to me. Please never stop loving dance.

[@rikilikemagic]

Hello

[@didsomeonesaybts4754]

I agree with others who have commented about the looping. It works very well with your observations and explanations. Nicely done! You do such a wonderful job of showing love to each of them and seeing their individual strengths. It's a lovely example for ARMY to follow.

[@rikilikemagic]

HELLO FRIEND! So nice to hear from you and thank you so much for such a kind comment

[@hrw7800]

I absolutely love your thought videos. They bring me to my happy place, lol. I really appreciated your explanation about the tech performance vs the actual live performance. Oddly enough I actually love this version better and I always wondered why until I watched this and read comments. This version truly brought out alot of their real personalities as dancers versus their performance "characters?" (not really sure what to call it.) While I was watching this it really brought back to me how I see the difference in their styles and movements. Sorry this might be a bit long. The best way I can describe their styles is visualizing a body. Jungkook is the muscles, not just from his shear power, but the fast twitch (clean, sharp, and quick) to the pull and push of power- based muscles. He embodies the choreo in every movement, expressing it's strengthen and precision. The only thing I miss in his dance style is that he's clearly still learning to connect the choreo and the music. He is such an artist in everything he does (singing, dancing, producing, film, and drawing) and with dance he's creating a picture which as an artist I love. But as a dancer I can't wait til he connects his picture with the music/lyrics and "paints" the song rather than just the movements. Even now he's growing, and I see bits of it more now than when he started. For the other two main dancers, they truly embody the music but so differently. Jimin's dance is breathe. The inhale and exhale of his movements are gorgeous. Sometimes strength and powerful like a forced exhale (almost like a musician breathing into a horn) or sometimes the soft flow of unconscious breathing radiating through his flowing connections or in even the strange vibrating tension or stillness of a held breath. He embodies the voice, lyrics, and movement of the music in such an amazing way. J-hope is the pulse of the music. He embodies the power of the heart beat, the rhythmic push of arterial blood flow, and the strange powerful tick of venous blood flow (the body's force to push the blood back to the heart). It's like you said he lives in the pocket of the music. He touches the music's pulse and embodies it in his popping, his fluidity, and his special "bounce". He truly radiates his love for dance, that strange, wonderful connection between the choreo and the music, the motion and the lyrics. I love all three of the dance line! They really do complete each other in a special way. This video is awesome because it demonstrates each of their strengths but in the background the others complement the current focus so well. As a contrast, I'd love to see your thoughts on J-hope and Jimin's focus video for the Love yourself short films. There is a Bangtan Bomb of it, and I'm sorry I don't have the link. It's unusual since they are both doing the same choreo, but separately.

[@kudgeond755]

I left a comment about Jungkook but I have a separate question about J-Hope: what makes him so different and distinctive? He's not the only tall, lanky dancer out there but you'd know it was J-Hope immediately even if you just saw him shadow dancing. The only guys I've seen that come close to having his unique flair and charismatic individuality as a dancer are Taemin and NTC's Taeyong. If J-Hope is visibly different than other dancers then we should be able to describe the differences but my eyes aren't educated enough to pinpoint what makes J-Hope J-Hope. Can you put it into words in a future video, please? Thanks.

[@abi3982]

taeyong cannot be even compared to jhope im sorry, but jhope is world's apart a better dancer in every way possible.

[@jenaelove26]

Deleted my comment because I realized that this was for Riki to answer! Lol sorry

[@kudgeond755]

Hobi Kanobi - No problem. I got what you said before you deleted it. I'm not a dancer but I think there's more to it than J-Hope's flexibility & emotion or one's taste in dancers or judgement of how good he is vs any other kpop idol. He looks different but I can't articulate why. Maybe I'm wrong but that's why I asked. Thanks for your deleted comment, though.

[@Keekohh]

Rather than taeyong from nct you should’ve said ten, he is a far better more smooth dancer and you can easily tell from his hit the stage performances or his solo song choreo, he’s up there as one of the best along with taemin and J-Hope imo

[@kudgeond755]

Keekoh I've noticed that people like Ten more than Taeyong and he is smooth as hell and a pleasure to watch like Taemin. I wasn't trying to rank them as dancers. In most groups everyone blends together but Taeyong and J-Hope always stand out and grab my attention, which is what I meant by flair and charisma. I like the boy's style. :)

[@concavamafra7828]

I love the dance move in Jimin part that they “trop to the ground” especially Jungkook because he stays so much time in the air that you can get a quit look of how strong he is. I also love the beginning of Jimin solo because he hits every bit so sharply and powerful but it doesn’t comes in a aggressive way. I also love Jimin moving because he takes every move to the next level and makes every move longer without missing a bit and it reminds me of myself because i do that also when i am dancing contemporary because I think and feel that gives things more emotion and beauty, when i do that it feels like my life depends on every single move i just love it

Circle Time! Circle Time is a place in the comments for you to tell me what you see; what you like, what you don’t like, what you feel, what you want more of. It’s a safe place for you to learn and explore how to articulate what you experience. Be kind, be compassionate with yourself and others and have FUN!

[@hanavintage_westwood7989]

My favourite thing with this dance is with Hobis, he's in center and he brings the flexibility of Jimin and the power of Kookie together with his own little flair and it just ties everyone and everything together and it makes me so happy because you can see all of them doing the same moves but because each dance is tailored to their specific dance style you can see the contrasts very clearly and it just makes me so happy.

[@_.soymilk]

Addressing what you said about the comments, I don’t know I find it so adorable how you get excited about everyone talking about their thoughts about the dance haha. It also makes me really happy seeing all of us talk about what we loved about it as well as seeing everyone’s perspectives, and i think it was an amazing idea to have this circle time in the comments. As always, I’m looking forward to your next video! 👋

[@KL-kj4qt]

Even when they dance togheter my eyes goes to Jimin somehow. He is like the most verisitale. He has so good background. Amazingly skilled. He nailed It even in those shoes.

[@chuchuchie]

thank you for taking the extra time to edit and put looping part of the bits you are describing and commenting on. this makes things so much more fluid and easier to understand!!

[@ohaiitsurrn8922]

I just showed up to this channel last week....and I can't stop coming back. I love how you talk about dance and it is very similar to how you described J-Hope in your trust of him in his dance. You speak about their dancing in such a loving way I can feel how much it brings you joy. I enjoy both the emotional and technical analyses. I also really love how...distressed you seem at how good they are. It's good to know that I'm not the only one who has to contemplate my life after watching them. Thanks for being you!

[@nazminar4327]

Jungkook loves dancing so much he works so hard to be at the level he’s at, especially since he’s the main vocalist and the centre of their performances. He even gets doubted if he’s singing live because no one believes he can dance this well and sing without his voice wavering. He’s The multi package tbh and the boys know that too, he was fully going to quit singing to be a dancer when he finished his dance training in America but jimin convinced him not to.

[@pandabear9613]

I love the looping! Thank you so much for that! I would GLADLY watch 45 minutes of you talking about dance. But the looping does help loads! I love how much you love Jhopes love of dance! Kindred spirits the two of you.

[@cristinequioc5348]

jungkook is so precise with his movements. he dances just like how its supposed to be done. jhope exudes passion. he never fails to put a smile in my face when he is dancing. jimin makes me FEEL. i dont know why but everytime he dances its like he's telling the story with his body. bts dance line is AMAZING!!!

[@dots_com1386]

That move with JK one arm in front the other to the side that you said is really clear...he clearly pops his chest too. Idk if it's part of the choreo, but he's the only one I can clearly tell - I think just a testament to his strength like you said

[@nicoleloss7987]

Jungkook is the only one that pops his chest when he dances.

[@mahje1542]

One thing that makes me so angry happy at Hobi is that he’s able to submerge himself within his dancing, still hitting everything with his own style of accuracy and poise, while still be able to rap everything. He’s so connected to his own music that it’s almost a second nature to rap his lines while dancing. He’s what my studio calls a ‘natural soul’, (English translation might be off) which is basically just a person who is so in tune with their own body and rhythm that every time they dance, no matter how long ago they’d learned or created said dance, it’s almost like breathing to them. It’s different from the dancers that can memorize extremely easy, because he might make mistakes at times but is so casual about them and doesn’t let them eat him up inside. He finds the root of the issue to himself and can play it off so smoothly and I’m just all uwu for him whenever he dances. With Jimin, he’s got the sort of diversity in dancing styles that I am so envious off honestly. He’s something that’s just so entirely Jimin, being able to do other styles fluently and gracefully but still keep his own original essence of modern dance and contemporary that he’s come from. Jeongguk is a bit more of a different case seeing as how he was scouted so young, then sent to America to ‘have more emotion’ when he dances. He’s honestly a complete mixture of all of the boys together. His own style comes more from his detail oriented strength in my opinion. Just holy crap I have a major dance envy for these talented dudes. Sorry if my English was off at any point, it’s my seventh language and I’m rusty😅😅

[@JDColon32]

First off Riki, gotta say you're really a special content creator. There are loads of reactors out there but it's really wonderful to have someone who goes so in-depth and detailed into their analysis of dance and content, so thank you. I really appreciate that you had the insight to point out that this was a tech rehearsal. That makes total sense. I've often wondered about this video why the three seem to be dancing strongly but not as passionately or fully involved as normal, and that explains so much. Gives nice context. I also really enjoy you describing all these different dance techniques and moves and going into depth about how they're made, why they're chosen, and their varying levels of difficulty. So, thank you so much and please keep doing that. There was just in general a lot of that for this video, so most of my thoughts would come down to saying "ah, love this move, cool that you talked about it" - repeat. Last thought is that I find it so funny how each member's personality comes through so strong in their dancing, and specifically in this video. J-Hope seems to be the fastest learner, so he already seems very comfortable, in his element, and is the farthest along of the three in being ready for a live performance. Jungkook is such a workhorse and perfectionist so you see him hyper focused on making each move as pristine-ly clean as possible. He's still in work mode. Jimin's known to be very self-deprecating and harsh on himself, so you see this almost disappointed hesitation on his face stemming from him not being able to dance at full capacity via his wardrobe. (Another great insight, btw) This is especially highlighted when you see him slip. That being said you still see his patented razor-sharp hits on every move that he's perfected, but still. Love being able to talk about this stuff. Also really appreciate how much you appreciate us and this nice open discussion. Thank you so much Riki you're really the best. (And anyone else in the comments who wants to chat this stuff up - I find a severe dearth of conversation over the finer points of performance and kpop so pleeease go ham on responding) Thanks! =]

[@rikilikemagic]

What a wonderful comment, really insightful yourself and thank you for the lovely words about this channel! That's something I find fascinating about dance and the body in general; you can tell SO much about someone's disposition if you just watch them move... you may need a bit of training first but really you just have to look plainly and observe clearly and the body tells you SO much about a person! Thank you again for sharing

[@liberator6]

I like what you said about Jungkook meeting himself when he dances. A lot of people say he puts on a powerful, mature persona onstage, but that he’s really just some sort of fluffy bunny in real life. I have a feeling that this is a misunderstanding. Yes, he’s got a sweetness and sensitivity to him, that is clear, but I think the power and charisma (and yes, sexiness) that he exudes when he performs is also part of him. He’s quite introverted, as you said, and I feel like he’s able to express things about himself through dancing and singing that he can’t express in other ways. He’s not so constrained by his “role” of cute, cheeky, maknae when he’s performing onstage. If you listen to the lyrics of some of his solo songs, like “My Time”, “Decalcomania” and “Begin” it seems like he has a lot of complicated thoughts and emotions surrounding the image of him everyone sees, both on and off stage, versus how he feels on the inside. This is not surprising given the “life like a movie” he’s had since he was 13. He’s still so young, and it’ll be interesting to see how he grows in the coming years. He’s already so impressive! Anyway, Jungkook’s dancing style really appeals to me. All the members are great, particularly the dance line, but JK’s precise and powerful, yet graceful style really draws me in. He moves with such obvious strength and control but can also look like he’s somehow floating, or gravity doesn’t apply to him in the same way as it does to ordinary people. And he really knows how to move and use his facial expressions in a way that really slays. He doesn’t have to be overt or all slinky, but simply looks up suddenly and intensely with knitted brows while executing a series of complicated dance moves, and I always find impossible to take my eyes off him. ✨

[@TinyTedsAngel]

I have been watching reaction vids for so long and never quite feel satisfied. Even the dancer reacts vids just dont teach me anything. GURL. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR A CHANNEL LIKE THIS FOR YEARS! THANK YOU! Thank for the joy, appreciation and love you have for the boys and for really breaking down their dancing. I think a lot of the time they just make it look so easy that people take for granted how much talent is needed to pull these thing off and make it look effortless. I find myself smiling at all the same bits you do and it feels like we're having a conversation rather then you just telling me things. I also love your editing and fangirl moments because same 😂 the looping of the vid was a brilliant idea too so thank you whoever came up with the idea xx

[@Nicole-hc7rh]

🙏🏻 Thank you for taking the time to recognize the greatness of all three of their dancing. Jungkook doesn’t get looked over very much, he is very much acknowledged almost all the time but somewhere I’ve always felt he didn’t get the credit he deserves is in his dancing, as people really like to focus on Jimin and J-Hope because they’re the ones the the backgrounds in dance. I just feel Jungkook’s dance strengths are often missed because of this and it’s just too bloody fantastic of a dancer to miss out on! So thank you, this was a brilliantly done video! Thank you also for discussing House dancing, that’s something J-Hope is really into right now. It’s a fun dance style. Lastly, I found gliding to be so easy for me to get down. I retired from dancing about 5 years ago but still glide around the house all the time. It’s like second nature once you get it down! 🙏🏻

[@aileenmercado1527]

here’s something you should probably know about jungkook: he’s honestly good at everything, and smooth as hell. he used to be very introverted, but broke out of that slowly while dancing, because he usually looks down and focuses on why he’s dancing, and who/what he’s doing it for, and he wants to push his body so he can do well for the audience and for the sake of BTS. as for all of bts: they are very very used to dancing in those type of shoes because of all of those experiences while practicing, as well as being able to dance in tights. they debuted in 2013-2014(?) and worked their way up to now, and yes they dance so gRaCiOuSlY. also jimin used to be in this ballet dance so that’s why he has those type of “movements”

[@dots_com1386]

I super appreciate you looking at the centre man for each section because I struggle to do that (bc JK is my favourite) and I saw things I didn't before. But at 7:01 in the actual video (like the Bangtan Bomb). Just give a glance to JK too, his clarity, as you love to put it, is astounding.

[@tiannagraham5210]

So, my bias is RM but lately, my biaswreckers have been Jhope and sometimes Jungkook and your comments actually voiced why I love them so much. Jhope has such a passion and happiness to him especially when dancing. Like, dancing is his true passion and I can tell he's happy whenever he's dancing. I'm not a dancer (and I'm far too clumsy and awkward to be able to do anything like what they do) but when Jhope dances, I can't help but to smile. He just projects joy and happiness when he dances hiphop. He really is a sunshine embodied in a human. And Jungkook. What you said really made sense. He's super to himself and reserved but when he dances, you can really feel him and his strength. He's so strong and powerful but he does have a bit of a vulnerability to him that I noticed but didn't fully register until you brought it up. I call him my sweet bunny boy cause of his adorable smile but when he dances, that is not my bunny boy anymore. He is Jungkook. But that moment where he looks up and you can see his eyes, I saw a bit of that bunny boy and now I can't not see it and it just makes me really soft. And then Jimin, I 100% see what you mean when you say that it looks like his body never fully stops in his solo. No wonder it looked so smooth when he did it, he just flows right into the next move without pause. Without your comments, there are so many nuances of this performance that I wouldn't have known about. I'm not a dancer nor am I a performer in general so I don't have a professional eye for any of this (except maybe the instrumentation because I used to be in band but that was years ago and I wasn't that good) so these videos make me appreciate their performing even more.

[@Rockerbaby1031]

Love the looping idea too. I would rewind your previous videos too, no biggie, but looping the part you're talking about while you're talking about it really helps us get to continuously concentrate on those moves better. I enjoyed it.

[@7thCobweb]

*about to leave the weirdest comment riki has ever read* Riki describing jk’s strength sounded like me talking about my heavyweight dog (i do dog sports) LOL

[@rikilikemagic]

Ahahaha!! ^^

[@kersteounapuu5901]

As a dancer myself it's really amazing to see another dancer analysing something like this so specifically. Also while watching this I noticed some of their movements I have never noticed before! It really makes me happy to see you so exited about talking about them dancing😊

[@geot.6830]

I don’t know why but every time I watch your videos I feel like I’m spending time with my sister or my best friend .You re awesome!💕

[@TheMaidsamalover]

I reallllly love how at 21:12 of your video jhope kinda opens his arms so wide. Tho my absolute favourite is the jimin part you mentioned. And for some reason, the first time I watched the video I couldn't stop watching jungkook's slide to the right part where he illusion-controls his knees with his hands and jhope's "ring ding ding" part😂 Riki, I love your videos and it gives me a new perspective towards BTS' dancing. I already loved their dancing and choreos but your videos have made me appreciate their unique movements and style of dancing more. So, really! Thank you! It made me feel like I've fallen in love with bangtan all over again!!💜💜

[@kelenlevesque3803]

the looping of the video while you're talking about it is GREAT!! thank you! this video was amazing, you're happiness is infectious :))

[@pambarab5506]

There is another video of this that is the dance practice. I love it because they are still learning the steps, and we don't get to see that very often. I love that you talk about the differences in the guys. I see the strength in Jungkook's dance, and the elegance in Jimin's, and J Hope--(harder to put into words) the ease or naturalness of his dance, with no wasted movements or extra flourishes. Does that make sense?

[@samwashere2010]

You have all the language and understanding of dance that I have absolutely none of. Every time I watch one of your videos I learn a little more to why BTS's choreography and dance line have me hooked like no other. Your point about Jungkook knowing his strength and using his body is definitely something I've noticed before, but you describe it in such a clear way - I love the mental imagery of it being like a knife. And I totally agree that it's really inspiring for someone as introverted as he is to use something as visible as dance to express himself - it's almost like a switch, as though it's a different person. This video in particular also really helped me to further appreciate the finesse of Jimin and Jhope - I'd never considered the fact that Jimin never stops moving before, but now I won't be able to unsee it! The BTS dance line compliments one another so well through the variation of intensity and style. Every time I watch another one of your dance 'thoughts' videos I get a further appreciation for the skill of these guys. Thank you Riki, and keep up the great work!

[@Llamaf4ce]

It's so interesting to see how different they are in practice, cause I noticed that genreally when jimin is doing this kind of practice he tends to not go all out (which makes sense) whereas when I watch j hope it feels like he for real performing no matter where he is

[@venice5321]

AnonForLife I noticed that too :)

[@MissOmomomomo]

Hv u even watched most of their rehearsal vids? Jimin is one of the members who always go all out whenever they do stage rehearsals unless he's exhausted. There even posts on pann praising him for being a hardworker and having that mindset. Don't judge him only based on one video just so u can praise hoseok.

[@mydigitallog2652]

I love how you're replaying the part you're talking about! Great editing choice!!! SO HELPFUL! This video was so fun. I love watching J-Hope dance the most because he always looks like he's having the best time :D I love learning little things about dancing too! You're teaching me things! haha. I don't know if you'd watch other groups/people dance but I'd love to hear you talk about Taemin at some point. It's cool if you just stick with BTS though

[@gabrielacarneiro2569]

i love LOOOVE how you describe the dance moves and talk about the shapes and the textures that they have because i have synesthesia and it's reaaallly hard for me to verbally express how certain songs look like to me and watching ur videos is like... EXACTLY how i see them lol and hearing you talk about it is extremely pleasing. I love how you said that jk's moves are crystal clear and very sharp bc to me that's what that ot genasis song looks like. there's like these blade-like sounds and images and cut thru each verse and the bass is so heavy and it thumps like the image of a thumb knuckle hitting wood and watching jk move to that is almost like listening to that song with my eyes, i love it so much!!! also i love how you said that it's like there's this 'breath' in jimin bc i feel like that says a lot about how fluid he makes the music he dances to sound like. like, you say that his moves "never stop" and i totally see that too bc even though there's these moments where there has no singing or guitar and it's just a bass beat in the song and to me it looks like jimin's moves fill up those spaces and STRETCH those notes like he's playing that song with his body and it's just phenomenal how fluid he makes everything look and how he makes the audience feel like as long as he's moving there's energy on, there's this Breath, like you said, that goes on thru his moves and thats jossssst Bitchin. also i relate sooo much to everything u said abt j-hope he's just. sigh . u kno?? he jUST amazing and perfect and my bias and i love him to bits and pieces and idk everything u said is just RIGHT fuck these videos make me too excited it's hard to words rn. sorry this got long but i love ur videos soooo much i love how long they are they make my entire day!!!!!!!

[@adrianpantoja5526]

You can also see how each of them show their emotions/energies through dancing. Jimin has a more fluid, emotional movement to his dancing. Jungkook is more stricter, kind of focusing on when the beat is and when to hit it, but also very powerful and strong. J-Hope is more energetic and he always puts his own touch on every part he's given. But, they all have fun with it and that's what makes them so unique and fun to watch. I honestly love watching you get involved with all the beats and making the sound effects, its just so quirky and different, and I love it. Keep up the amazing work ^^.

[@delilah1313]

When she said jungkook is quiet I literally had a flashback to a compilation of kook screaming

[@kristensantamaria5746]

I was yelling, yessssss, whenever you said something. YES WASN'T THAT BIT GREAT?! Jimin and those damn shoes. I started talking to you (on my iPad) as if you could hear me. Then I laughed at myself. In the actual practice room video, J-Hope was explaining that part of the choreography you like the swing, but he was singing. I love when he sounds so sweet. Though, I would not like to be one of his students. I think he would make me cry with all the bah bah bahs, he does. When I danced, I had a difficult time taking what I learned in a practice room onto a stage for blocking. It made me crazy because everyone seemed to just fall into there places and I just couldn't get right away because it's bigger and it looks different and it just took me a bit. I know BTS spends a lot of time blocking for concerts and THAT must be miserable. I feel like there may be books on your shelf that I own. Idk. Thanks for all the conversation. It felt like a conversation anyway. 💜

[@rikilikemagic]

What an amazing thing to say; it felt like a conversation... that really makes me warm and fuzzy inside because that's what I want to have! Thank you for sharing!

[@FIXON99]

The way you speak of Jungkook dancing so "inward"/ into himself makes so much sense, you might care to know he's the only intovert from the 3 and it really translates to his dance vibe (jsyk: jhope, jimin and V are the extroverts in the group)

[@kateelise4314]

Something that I love about watching BTS is seeing how each of their individual personalities are shown so clear when they dance. For example, with Jungkook and Jimin are often times more reserved, like you pointed out, and I feel like I can see that in them when they dance. They are keeping more to themselves in a way at the same time that they are giving their all. They're more reserved and are internalizing more while I feel like Hobi is the exact opposite. Like how while Jungkook keeps his eyes down and Jimin is trying to stay in his shoes, Hoseok is looking up and smiling and seems much more open while he dances. You pointed this out, but it's like we can /see/ how much he just loves dancing and though he is obviously focusing on the technical aspect of the dance, he is also just living in the moment and loving what he is doing. There isn't really a point to any of this and I don't know if I'm fully articulating what I mean, or even articulating it correctly (I have no dance training and know pretty much nothing about it so talking about dance comes really hard for me since I don't know what words to use), and you pretty much pointed all of this out already, I just thought I would gush as well lol

[@MissOmomomomo]

Kate Elise did u make all that assumption based on one dance practice? Like really tho try to watch all of their performances first then and try telling me again that jimin and jungkook are more reserved when dancing/performing. Lol i'm not attacking u tho in case my reply sounds somewhat rude to u 😅 just wanting to point this out since so many in this comment section seems to make alot of assumption abt their dancing based on this one dance practice video.

[@_utorian_6554]

I have been watching your videos for a while now and I must say: You are one of the best "reaction" channels I have seen because you don’t just watch the dances but give your knowledge about dancing and your own opinion which makes it so much more interesting. I have never been a dancer myself but have played piano for almost 10 years. When I watched the first MV of BTS (which was Dope), I couldn’t believe how in sync they were and how they hit the notes as well as the beat so perfectly. So your point of view makes the videos even more amazing. Thank you for your reactions and keep your videos up. I always jump a little when you upload. :)

[@kalika02]

I really enjoyed you enjoying Jimin enjoying body rolls, haha :) I loved the loops while you were making comments. I am not a dancer and I found it so interesting to pick up the details you notice! Absolutely love your channel :)

[@carolinekorsakov]

Thanks for doing the rewind for us!! ARRgg, I really love it. Actually it makes it more fast to watch your videos because we don't have to go back again and again to see what you are explaining. Also, thanks for being so kind and cheerful all the time. And, since my bias is Jungkook, I think you hit the spot saying that he is like a blade. You have a special way to communicate your thoughts so it's easy to understand you. Your teaching skills are awesome.

[@dayamelencion7324]

11:38 DAAAAAMN JHOPE! I thought he was going to fly with his legs Lol

[@kkkbuta5]

Jungkook is actually known for his strength generally. His older peers often joke that they are scared of him because he is the strongest person in the group. In their song "blood, sweat and tears" jungkook has his special dance move where he slowly falls to the ground. plz watch dance prac of that song!

[@GreyMinerva]

J-hope is rhythm made flesh. Jimin is poetry in motion. Jungkook is pure physicality.

[@marizzobell]

The first thing I want to say is that Riki, your videos make me so extraordinarily happy it's insane. Imagine that you just found out that you had a puppy but you're also being hugged by your cuddliest friend but at the same time your heart is pumping so much warmth through your body that you'll probably never be cold again - it kinda feels like that. (And also a little bit like you've just been sucker punched, but I think that has more to do with the dancing and the way you talk about dancing and less about the fact that you are an actual angel with all the radiance of the brightest star - wow can you tell that I'm high key obsessed with your personality???) THE SECOND THING I wanna say is that in this video I was significantly more impacted by the power of their dancing than in others. I thank stationary cams and the tech rehearsal, but its was like I could FEEL the very strength and energy going through their bodies as they danced. It's weird. I get like, super antsy watching them dance because there's so much there to process but it also feels like there's too much energy to be contained in JUST their bodies so it flows outwards and projects itself onto me and tells me that I need to go run a mile or kick some ass RIGHT NOW otherwise I WILL DIE of sensory overload. And for each of the members the sensory overload is all for a different reason and that's because - like so many other wonderful commenters have pointed out - this rehearsal really highlights their dance styles. With Jungkook it's his sharpness and his power that feels like a physical assault on my soul when he hits all of his movements. With Jimin it's almost frustration at how fluid his movements are because they're just so well suspended that the tension they build is practically intolerable. It's like he's trying to pull my heart out of my chest (but in a good way. All of this is positive. But I'm trying to convey exactly how I feel while watching them and lemme tell you - is violent). AND WITH J-HOPE IT HONESTLY JUST FEELS LIKE ONE SMACK IN THE FACE RIGHT AFTER THE OTHER. Everything about him is just a wonder and mostly my entire being is just confused as to how he's an actual human when he dances because it's so other worldly like - hello? How does one? Excuse me? Please stop hurting me this way. Thanks. AND YOUR COMMENTARY ON THEIR REHEARSAL STYLES!!!! Absolutely GOLDEN!! I agree with everything you said about Jungkook being super insular and then there's J-hope who's just so happy to be on stage, radiating excitement and sunshine in everything he does because performing is just what he does - ugh. And then Jimin - JIMIN - it was so interesting to see the contrast between him dancing his solo and then dancing as backup because he's a lot more free and lazy with his movements when he's not the main focus. It feels like he's conserving himself but also just focusing a lot mentally in a way that's different than Jungkook's hardcore lazer focus. Kinda like he's critiquing himself before he's even started? Jimin is just known to be super self critical so that's why I get that vibe. WOW THIS WAS SO AMAZING and i wrote a freaking NOVEL but I had many emotions and I needed to get them out. I love you sosososososososo much. Thank you!

I think my favorite part is jimin's solo before the others join him. But Jimin's shoes seriously keep me on edge. It's so nerve-wracking to watch. I'm like "please don't slip and die". I think his shoes are also the reason why he didn't do the last jump at the house part. And I agree, watching j-hope dance makes me so happy, simply because he freaking loves what he's doing. He's such an inspiration to pick up dancing again. Although I still can't decide what type. Maybe back to my old combo: ballet AND hip-hop classes...or try something completely different? And thanks for your concern that we 'waste' too much time on your videos. The loops are great, but it didn't keep me from watching this video twice. As always, thanks for the great content.

[@rikilikemagic]

Awww stop! Watching it twice!? You spoil me! Thank you for the lovely comments as usual!

[@sweeter_than_sweet]

this dance was a really nice choice, i think, because you really got to go deeper into the differences in their dance styles, which i am very facinated by! especially what you said about jimin never completely stopping his movement - you have mentioned this before but now i truly see it and thats so cool. the looping definitely helped with this as well so i hope you continue utilizing that :) i am so happy that i found your channel you have no idea.. i have always loved and been facinated by dance from afar, but your videos are giving me the chance to come closer and understand more of dance, and of bts as well, which is something i really appreciate. thank you so much riki, sending you lots of love

[@ashleyungvarsky8493]

Okay, I am two minutes into watching your thoughts on the video and I am LOVING the way you edited the clip as you commented on it. Many thanks for how little I felt like I had to rewind. I loved being able to watch what you're talking about as you are talking about it. Much love. You are by far my favorite person to watch regarding their choreography. Keep up the good work!

[@scifigeek14]

I love the bits where the 3 come together for a big hit or a new choreo section . when they feel connected in the moment and really present together as one unit.

[@LynneaBlaircox]

Your first impression of jungkook was spot on same with jimin and hobi like woah and I love how you talked about how during the tech rehearsal you mention they're more internal with their dancing even though they still go pretty full out and don't give out that same performance energy that's so true when preparing for a performance 👍🏽👌🏽 also I agree that hobi just brings me so much joy as well whenever he dances you can tell he's passionate about it and always goes hard

[@visenya9]

When you were talking about Jungkook it made me a bit emotional cuz I think the exact same thing about him and I could never put into words why he stands out to me so much and why he’s one of my biases (I can’t choose between him or suga for the life of me tbh) but I loved the way you described him and I especially loved when you said that he’s shy but his strength comes out in his dance and his performance is just so eye-catching and I just agreed with everything you’re saying with J-hope and Jimin as well I just love everything about this rn lol keep this up please I adore you

[@isabellapansera9190]

This video is what made Hobi my ultimate! I’ve always been so attracted to him and his style when he dances. No matter how hard or soft he’s going there’s always an element of carefreeness and he makes it look like the choreography is the easiest thing in the world. And that’s so hard to do. When I seen him even just marking choreography I can see how much he loves dance and how he is a dancer inside and out. I see the similarities between him and me and my fellow dancers and how serious and passionate he is. I just love how he dances and could watch him for hours

[@tatianeribeiro4970]

I Loved the looping! I love your explanations, they make watch the whole dancing more exciting for me, cuz I don't really understand anything about dance, but it make me feel like i can appreciate more the details of it all, you know? Just keep doing it please. You're great! 😄

[@emilyp258]

Ahhh Riki, thank you for the awesome review and those little PIP loops really are helpful!! I've never minded your pausing or anything, I just watch/listen to you break down their dances happily the way that you do them haha, your excitement and your input is always appreciated by this girl /points to self/ So, just wanna ramble for a sec, just observations lol... As much as I absolutely do NOT know about dance (I've never been trained, I'm just a lifelong observer lol) I find that you notice so many tiny things about their dances that I notice too, their subtle movements, facial expressions, timing and control, things that add flare and make their performances feel so much fuller and satisfying, like a really good meal lol like imagining any other trio dance this routine after watching Jungkook, Jimin, and Hoseok do it would feel like having Gordon Ramsay whip up some gourmet mac and cheese from scratch and then going home and making a sad bowl of Kraft dinner lol like there's no comparison, there's no way I'd settle for it. I just really appreciate the effort they put into their routines to make them feel as full and satisfying as they do. They truly take my breath away, I get lost admiring them, and I often pause and rewind and set on a slower speed so I can really take it all in. They're so in-tune with their own bodies and each other despite this just being a dance practice, they have really hammered this routine in hard, but yet each of them still exhibits their own style too? If that makes sense? Lol like even though they're making the same motions I can still see the difference in their dance personalities. Lol idk, end ramble. I don't really have words for specific sections of their routine, this was more like an "as a whole" ramble type comment I guess, but just thought I'd drop in my 2 cents, the ongoing theme among all your videos I've watched and how we both appreciate the fullness of their routines. And your excitement adds to mine when I watch your videos and I love it. And I love you! That's all (: Hope you're having a lovely evening, m'dear. Take care.

[@nazminar4327]

Jimins movements are so fluid it’s honestly the best thing in the world to watch him dance he knows his body to well and is able to control everything the way he wants. He’s always doing their choreography but in his own way? he’ll add his own flair to the choreography and no one can repeat his movement s

[@faithnicoleofficial]

I agree, Jungkook does have power. But Jimin has grace. With every dance that he does, he brings an elegance to it that none of the other members seem to be able to pull off. Jimin has a different kind of fluidity. When I look at dancing, I don’t just see the movements. I see the passion behind the movements. Jimin has an insane amount of passion and that works in his favor because he just makes it look so effortless. Whereas the other members of the dance line (Jungkook and Jhope) come at it from a more technical angle. Jimin just becomes the music. His body flows with every song he performs. I would be interested to see what you think of Jimin’s solo dance ‘Lie’.

[@rea11002]

1. LOVE the looping!!!! Makes it so much easier to understand and see what you are talking about. 2. I lost it when this first came out. I actually got into BTS/Kpop because of their dancing (started with Jimin then fell in love with others dancing as I got into them) so your videos make me very happy. 3. I have always loved how those three have very different dance styles (Jimin is more contemporary/ballet - aka fluid as all get out, J-Hope very hip-hop and his control over every cell in his body is AMAZING, and then Kookie just like you said, strength and sharp like a knife) yet they always work together beautifully! All three are always so clean and full of control and they way the 3 different styles mesh and rotate through is mind-blowing!!!!

[@Bolsen2.4]

I liked seeing JK get some love. I know he’s not ignored, but I feel like he doesn’t get as much love as the main dancers 😊

[@nelpacapio6591]

You are the only person by far that has described how JK dances that everyone notice but cannot express. You deserve 100K subs for a start.

[@christinel2359]

i wouldnt have thought this was possible but i really feel like i love BTS all the more now thanks to you! Every part of their performance is so intricate, complex and requires such skill and if you see on the bangtanbomb of them practicing this dance they couldn rehearse it often and had to practice in their hotel room at night ahah bc of limited time and yet they managed to pull off this amazing amazing routine. and ah i really love that you get so excited about this your videos really channel and fuel my passion bc i really do love them, they all embody this passion for dancing and are so in tune with their bodies and its just so satisfying and inspring to watch, all hte more now that i understand parts of it which your rewinding of the video and loops really enhanced my experience of! ah your ability to pick up and notice all these technicalities and really really ENGAGE with their performance like the part where u pointed out jungkook looked up establishing a connection through his eye contact.. ah can we switch brains for a day haha ? i really admire you so much:P thank you so much for your lovely time as always and for really really appreciating them and enjoying their performance! ah this is getting a tad long but also thank you for also reading every single one of your comments it really feels like im getting to know you and the other lovely people on this channel in this beautiful community you've created so thank you :)

[@musicnut1966]

This was so much fun to watch! I LOVE how you kept backing up the video to show what you are talking about. Thanks so much!

[@silnery5021]

Really loved the video replay!!! When it comes to the three of them I always think of one word to give to each one it would be JungKook=Strength Jimin=Passion JHope=Precision Love this vid so much and your thoughts on it even more!!!!

[@cryalopez9534]

Sil Nery sometimes i do equal jimin to strength as well... 😊 especially in his solo dance Lie 😊 jm's strength in that song's amazing hehehe

[@vanessaalexandra2033]

Loved your detailed reaction and the explanation of why it’s amazing 💜

[@patricia5617]

I don't know much about dance so this way I feel like I understand their performances and even them a little bit more, but also it's just great seeing someone so happy and enjoying talking about something so much and in a way that's so accessible and just... Full of joy?? I love that you say "I love that bit!" Every five minutes, and that you are obviously having fun and laughing watching them dance idk. You mentioned that you can't help but smile when J-Hope walks forward and honestly I'm the same the second I hear "Hola!"

[@rikilikemagic]

Oh stop! That got me right in the feelings thank you

[@gemma3335]

I love the way you explain each of their dance styles. Thank you for these videos x

[@melissaqueen5911]

I love this! Such a thoughtful commentary. Your genuine love of dance and knowledge is so refreshing. Thank you for feeding my soul!

[@jadedavis1190]

I may of done one year of dance, and three years of drama, but everything you said about each dancer, kookie, Hobi and Jimin, echoed my own thoughts about their individual dance styles. It's really nice to hear a professional echo my own thoughts cause it just solidifies that I am not pulling shit from my ass when I think such things.

[@chenchalfont9194]

Just how much they understand and love music and dance is so inspiring aaaah and heart-warming. When you point out the amount of strength/effort they're putting into their movies it's just mind-blowing!

[@Lalalalala...]

Loving the looping so much! I used to have to go back and rewatch the whole section so I could understand what she meant. Love this so much more

[@jean7888]

Your enthusiasm for dance is wonderful. I really enjoyed watching you really react to a video. I like how you point out the things that you like and why you like them. It makes me look at the movements with new eyes. I have noticed more about the dances watching your videos than I have while watching any other reaction video I have seen so far. This is a real reaction by a dancer. Thank you.

YESSSS I WAS WAITING FOR THISSSS
