And also the choreographies are made after the songs have been written and recorded so the person who's singing or rapping in the part is usually in the middle, taking his piece of spotlight. Another reason why the formations keeps changing and keeps the focus of the watcher on them.

[@lindseymackail9350]

yes, you are correct! I love that you know this :)

[@bangtanall7217]

@@lindseymackail9350 Interesting trivia. All groups under HYBE are in odd numbers becos of this. When one is singing or rapping they will be flanked in balance. Like 3 on the left, 3 on the right. TxT (Tomorrow by Together) - 5 members. Enhypen - 7 members. I think Bang PD (the founder) & Son Song Deuk (main choreographer / performance director) mention this before about putting emphasis on the main singer or rapper at that moment and the beauty of the choreography. Also take note of some of the movements ( isolation, the technical terms, I think). They usually reflect the lyrics of the songs. That moment that you like, the English translation "Heartbeat pulsing slow in my ears Bump, bump, bump Trying to escape with no avail Jump, jump, jump No song affects me anymore Crying out a silent cry"

[@corgisrule21]

It must be hell to do choreo for Kpop groups for this very reason😆😆 I’m never NOT amazed by it 🥹

[@susank2283]

Lindsey Jin, RM, and Suga were not dancers when they started. Suga complained that he was tricked...he was told no dancing or singing (I think RM too). They've had to learn to dance from scratch. Sometimes they aren't as fluid or expressive in their dance as Hobi, Jimin or Jungkook. Props to them and their dance teachers...

Still Thinking Through the Choreo 💜

[@lindseymackail9350]

I agree, they worked so hard to elevate to such a great level and they blend in so well. They are dancers to me regardless of how long. They def have that title ;)

[@tinaalbers7749]

You left out V. He was not a dancer either. I believe after his solo video for Singularity & it’s choreography he was made part of the dance line as well. Jimin also has his own dance break performing at the end of Black Swan at one of their online concert which is amazing. Their transition from Blue & Gray to Black Swan at PTD concerts is breathtaking.

[@anitralarae_mahjacat]

If you watch American Hustle Life, the second program following their Debut, they struggle with Rapping, Singing, and Dancing and express their insecurities. Its Brilliant seeing them Now 💜

[@vicgonzales9124]

V is also great dancer, in fact he belongs to danceline because of his moves, member said taehyung quickly learning all the dance moves, he has the ability to remember the dance steps even long time already, he should give credit also because just like jungkook, taehyung is a great dancer .

[@iizou1738]

loved your breakdown! you saying that they're even breathing together really shook me for some reason lmao, I guess it makes sense that they would synch up like that after practicing so much, but I'd never thought about it before. also thank you for rewinding to show the clips, it was definitely really helpful for understanding 💜 I see a lot of people recommending you react to their grammys performance from sunday & I agree! one of their members, Jin, has a hand injury so he didn't dance for half the song. also, some of the members had to isolate for COVID, so iirc they only had 1 day for all the group members to practice the final choreography together. after the show, they said that during practice they weren't able to do a certain move correctly more than like 1/3 of the time. it was a high risk performance for them lmao, would love to see your analysis on how they did all things considering!

[@lindseymackail9350]

Im glad the breathing thing shook you. Its actually a pretty cool feeling when you really start jelling with people while dancing and just like singers we learn where we need to breathe and there is a big difference in a person inhaling than exhaling even in body movement so when you start wanting to look as one and rehearse to be so in sync, you start to go through the choreo and learn where to breathe to save your stamina, and also how to look even more like one. It also creates this energy together....kinda hard to explain bc its a feeling but I hope Im making sense ;) lol I will get on the Grammys!! I didn't know all that info tho so thank you

[@cyann410]

You also have to keep in mind, that the dance formations are usually centered around who is singing, not who is the stronger dancer. That is why they are always changing- to get the singer, front and center.

[@lindseymackail9350]

yes I know that :) I am actually a performer/singer too and work with artist that I build their shows. The main singer at that moment always needs to be the focus so they will always be front and center while they sing bc that's their verse and moment etc but just from a dance position not dealing w singing that's how choreographers work it. And in that moment of them being center while they sing they don't have to be the best dancer or even fit in with them in the danced bc in that moment they are supposed to be the focus so sometimes we will have them do something completely diff than the others in that time too

[@mnj97]

It’s important to also know that they do have official positions in the group, just like RM is the “Leader”. Jungkook is the “Main Vocalist” and official “Center” (meaning he is usually in the Center the most throughout all of their choreographies). Their choreographer, Son Songdeuk, said “Jungkook is the most talented” and has “great power and strength” and he also said it is important to have an “official Center” because it helps to “give balance and a solid vibe to the team”. 💜 Of course they are all amazingly talented! One of the wonderful things about BTS is that they give each member their moments to shine in every song and in every choreography! 💜 Please react to the MMA 2020 performance of “Black Swan”, “An Introduction to the 7 members of BTS 2021 update” by Ida S, and their “Carpool Karaoke” episode! 😊💜

Loved it! 💜 The music video, this choreography is pure art. Jimin's body control is insane, so light and at the same time so precise that it feels like the movement of water and something very interesting is that even the members who don't consider themselves so strong in dance do an amazing job in performing the choreography. Can't wait for BTS's next reactions! Suggestions: ON Kinect Manifesto Film, Fake Love, Dyonisus at MMA 2019 and Dynamite at MMA 2020 (in this presentation they changed the original coreo and created a break dance in honor of MJ and it was freaking amazing).

[@HOusEoFsiERRa]

And equally important, I love how Jimin always feels the dance and gives us all the emotions as well. 😍🥰

Yes, it was a Brazilian like me, who did the choreography, his name is Sergio Reis, he did a great job and the boys rocked as always, one of the best choreographies of the group, another one I love and from "Blood, sweet & tears".

Thank you! 💜 I'll add yet another request for BTS's Grammy performance - the amount of prop work is *insane* for a live performance, even without taking into consideration an unfamiliar stage and their shortened rehearsal time due to illness and injury.

Love your comments as it reminds me of my days as a dance captain of a performance team. This is how I came to BTS I found a dance practice video! It’s still my fave way to watch them.

[@marinal.]

oh that is cool. Which dance practice? =0]

[@nalani2553]

I'm reacting to your reaction in the comments LOL ... I'm loving everything you're catching. I love when you talk about being able to "see" those who are feeling the dance! There are three dancers (Hobi, Jimin, and JK) who are "trained" and who I would call dancers. The others, while they can move and always bring it and work hard at their craft, are what I'd call, "singers who are dancing", if that makes sense? Their transitions and formations keep things moving and keep your eyes glued to the screen - this is indicative of kpop choreo. That slow-mo then HIT, especially because they're doing it turn, is so effective. Of course you're meant to watch the center person but the blocking is so amazing. Ok so that entry of the other 6 when Suga has his rap solo (around the 7 minute mark in your video), that area that you said they were "off" and lost you - I'm surprised a lot of choreographers have mentioned this because it's not meant to be on time and in sync. This is a throwback to the entry of swans in the actual ballet Swan Lake so they arrive in a wave, as swans. One of the things that makes BTS - and kpop in general - super special is that they are trained to incorporate dance and voice at super professional levels. I knew you'd love this dance practice video and am so glad you reacted!

[@lindseymackail9350]

I know exactly what you mean lol. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment ;) I know that the entry was supposed to be in a wave....and it was, it just still didn't look sharp enough for me tempo or rhythm wise between the guys.... the wave just looked a bit off and not as dynamic as it could have been in that moment...it cld have been anything that causes that to happen a half second stumble or going too high or low too quickly compare to the others. It was just not a strong moment for me bc it could have been tighter is all.

[@Funtan_Sonyeondan]

@@lindseymackail9350 now I remember how RM stumbled while doing that part and the others followed behind him like a domino when they recorded one of their Black Swan performances.. it's hilarious cause RM is known to be clumsy

[@octo448]

I agree with Lindsey on this one, it's clear it's meant to be a ripple up and then back down, before they spin into the formation. Ripples extremely difficult to get right, and this one (two!) didn't quite mesh. You can tell the boys probably agreed, because it was cleaned up a lot after this in time for the Feb 27, 2020 Comeback Stage live performance of Black Swan, around 2:50 on the Mnet video. Since they fixed it, it's pretty clear that it was a rough spot for them that they then cleaned it up for when it counts- the show! For anyone counting at home, that's under a month away from this practice video, and even that small amount of time they show immense polishing and refinement from this dance practice video.

[@nalani2553]

@@octo448 love your comment, thank you! I just want to clarify that I wasn't saying it's meant to be messy. Lindsay stated it was off and not in sync, but not that she knew it was a ripple so I wanted to point out that that's what it was incase she wasn't aware (silly, I know, since she's a dance LOL). Since this is a practice video it won't be clean, unlike the MNET "lives" that are filmed over and over until it's as perfect as it can be. You're so right, they put in so much work since this practice to get it polished and refined and the PTD On Stage performance of this is crazy to see live!

Thank you for this reaction! I love watching a breakdown on their choreography. Black Swan has always been my favourite since it came out, both the song and the dance, and watching this made me happy. I love how you pointed out that they even breathed together. I think they already mentioned how even the vocal tone was made so that it would seem as if they are singing as one person to show how united they are but hearing this fact makes it even better

[@YULuvThatHipHopShit]

Loving your reactions! We need more choreo reactors. One suggestion - captions! So much of their dance is interpreting the song. I know it’s a lot to take in but the lyrics will give you so much insight into the movement. Black Swan is literally a song about their fear of losing their passion for creating music. The inspiration is a quote of a dancer about a ‘dancer’s first death’ (when they stop dancing). Love watching your journey!

[@iAreanMango]

[@hannahanuta]

Thank you for this reaction! This choreo is so beautiful and really fits Jimin's style perfectly! J-Hope (the guy with the hat and the T-Shirt tucked in at the front) is the other main dancer and the dance leader of the group. He is so incredibly talented, he's my favourite dancer and my favourite person to watch. I think it's really awesome how they have such different styles within the group but they still work perfectly together. These guys have trained millions of hours together since their career started, so it's no wonder they're so in synch haha

[@megeliza6555]

What I love about their formation as they dance is the person singing will always be in the middle so you know who is singing/rapping and it makes it easier for the audience to spot where the singing coming from.

I personally think their performance of Black Swan at James Corden was the strongest - and the choreo was even more on point. Tiny stage, but they worked it. At it was the first performance of Black Swan.

[@allons_y1001]

I appreciate that you watched the mv first before diving into the practice. In kpop, everything stems from the music video... it's where the concept is brought to life, it gives context to the choreography and it's where you get the storyline if there is one. While live stages and practices are important to see (particularly if you're wanting to dissect the choreo), its all a mere reflection of the music video and the overall picture. Labels pour so much of their resources and creative choices into these little 3-4 min works of art, it always feels so wrong when reactors skip them for just the lives or practices.

If I am not properly delivering a correction or message from a place of love and empowerment, then I am not helping them to grow and grow w confidence.

[@nataliacoggins6769]

I'm sure someone posted this - their formation changes to place the next rapper/vocalist in the front and center! It's why they are loved because they want to share the spotlight and give that one member the respect and attention they deserve. That's why their choreography is always moving and in motion. From just a fan (we're called Army) perspective, this makes for visually stunning and mesmerizing dance performances.

[@virginia_the_elder]

BTS’ choreography is what ultimately made me a fan. 💜 They have a wonderful team working with them and it has shown from the beginning with their 2013 debut.

[@LeyneeClicks]

BTS makes a lot of truly inspiring art-be it choreography, music, lyrics, videos, live performances and who they are as human beings. It’s lovely to know how they’ve inspired you. 💜 Keep in mind that as RM and Suga were starting out, they were told that they didn’t have to dance because they were recruited for their rapping and producing, and Jin didn’t have any dance background-he auditioned to be an actor; and V didn’t even plan on auditioning as he was just accompanying his friend to the audition. It gives hope to aspiring dancers like me that with hard work and training, you can be a great dancer. There are probably other groups with “tighter” dances, but BTS has reached the level of success where they are because they’re the total package-they’re not only charismatic, talented performers but they’re also extraordinary human beings with genuine hearts. Their art and journey have healed and inspired so many people, and that’s why they have such a huge, devoted following. That said, their live performances and dance practices are a fantastic rabbit hole to fall into. IMHO BTS has a lot more “tighter” (and fun!) choreography in their early days. Some of my favorite “tight” dance practices are - Danger - Spring Day (this one moved me to tears, especially if you know the meaning behind the lyrics) - Blood, Sweat and Tears - We Are Bulletproof pt. 2 (they were still “babies” here!) Some of their fun/funny dance practices are: - Go Go (halloween version) - Baepsae In their more recent work, you might want to check out their live performance of ON at the Grand Central Terminal in Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show. There are so many more gems that I hope you stumble upon, and that’s the beauty of the BTS rabbit hole. Watching other people’s reactions makes me appreciate things I haven’t noticed before, and it grows and deepens my love for this phenomenal, once-in-an-epoch type of group 💜

BTS found me when I needed them just, PERSONA and Love Yourself, Magic Shop, have got me through the past 2 years…. They have so much content. And I’ve now seen them live. If you ever get a change to see them GOOOOO! I am ARMY. And Lindsey, if you don’t know it yet….so are YOU!! Music is such a huge part of life. As a kid dancing school was a extracurricular activity for me, however I didn’t stick with it and it is a huge regret. BTS has opened a part of my soul that was and is in desperate need of culture, humanity, love and respect. Girl I can’t wait to see what else you discover, and honestly, I’m totally checking out your other reaction videos now…. You know your shit, lol. If you see me cruising on I4 raise a FINGER HEART! 🤣 #7koreanboysfor7weekdays

[@lindseymackail9350]

Hi Erin!! Thanks of much for this and yesss my fellow dancer friend. Once a dancer always a dancer ;) and so glad to hear they impacted you that way!! I love them too and thanks for the kind words lol I hope I know my shit by now ;) Raise up on I4!! x0x0x0

[@jodyb8748]

Watching jimin's practice is a MUST

[@vikzytoria]

You truly truly truly need to react to the ON Dance Practice which took place in this same rehearsal space. They were only in LA and in that time they performed at the Grammys, they filmed 3 MV's and 2 dance full practices, and more. We were all in awe when they finally released everything. They work so hard.

[@MBella123]

Yes, Brazilian choreographer 💜💜 His last name sounds like "Rêis"

[@lindseymackail9350]

🙏🙏

[@WonderingWildWanderingRose]

I'm sorry, I still don't know. Is that like "ray-iz", "rice", "race", "ray-iss"? I'm unsure of the hat accent sound, whether the S is closer to Snake or Zebra, or if the I has a sound.

[@MBella123]

@@WonderingWildWanderingRose It’s like "ray-iss", I’m Brazilian, my ideia of sound my differ a little from yours. But that what I think it is. Reis is actually the plural of king in Portuguese.

[@amandaholanda6446]

@@WonderingWildWanderingRose yeah it has both ways with the S and Z sound and also the I is pronounced. It's pronounced like "Hey"+S

[@allisonB123]

Loved your reaction and analysis, thank you so much Lindsey 🙏💜

BTS dance practice videos are so satisfying to watch, in a way even better than MVs or live performances because the camera captures the whole without constantly panning in or out, which can be sooooo frustrating. Jimin is a dance genius, the most versatile and expressive dancer in the group. Jhope loves to free style, has no bones to speak of and is the one that learns the choreo the fastest so usually helps out the others, hence his title dance leader. JK loves to dance, period. He is a very sharp and powerful dancer. V has the best facial expressions while dancing and the most expressive hand movements after Jimin. RM and Suga both have the groove and the rhythm and are actually really good dancers. Jin is the one with the least experience and not really any rhythm to speak of but my goodness, through cheer hard work, he is able to not only keep up with the rest but does a stellar job. So impressed by him!

[@flor.acolombo]

I really like your videos because it's evident the grade of professionalism and respect that you to them with. Also, I love hearing and learning about the technical stuff! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@annalawson8993]

Your dog is the absolute cutest

[@anaclgarcez]

Just in case anyone is curious about how to pronounce the choreographer's name, Reis is similar to Heys. In Portuguese, when "R" is the first letter of a word, it sounds like "H".

[@cass7032]

i strongly encourage you to react to the "ON" dance practice it is in my opinion some of their best choreography and i promise you will be blown away by the energy and beauty of it

[@layla3437]

i love your reactions. your commentary is great. also PLEASE do ON Kinetic Manifesto Film. you will not be disappointed 💜

[@bellealcalallaguno8669]

You are the truest choreographer claimer here in YT. I can feel from the way you talk even every small detail and all-important rule of a choreographer.

[@lindseymackail9350]

Thank You ;) x0x0x0

[@rosanaamatruda9314]

Thank you Lindsey

[@amna8388]

the ending is actually the intro but backwards so they end where they started, this is the most interesting part in the choreo for me

[@crystalsnow1138]

Can you believe that only 2 members of BTS actually danced before joining BTS.

[@Mira-br9eb]

Woow your réaction,so good, pls react go jimin dance solos

[@mleticiiia]

heey you should react to "ON kinetic manifesto" and the dance practice!! it's one lf my favorites

[@nabegamma04]

Murphy is the cutest distraction ever!💕

[@lindseymackail9350]

isn't he?!?!? lol

[@brittanyriley6272]

Geez… I love these so much. I’ve started my own little rabbit while just watching you react 😂. I get them and an honest choreographer WIN-WIN I had to look up the choreographer for the M/V too. I think I just like knowing someone else feels and sees what I do (although I’m not dancing anymore, dancer heart) I typically watch black swan about 30 min each time cuz I watch them together then I have to do individually as well, they all have their style. Plus the song is fire 🔥

[@lindseymackail9350]

yessss once a dancer, always a dancer ;) thank you!

[@valentinahurtado5045]

Pls watch the Jimin's behind the scenes of black swan 💖 Love your reactions

[@michellem6826]

Thanks for mentioning the choreographer’s name. Great commentary.

[@lindseymackail9350]

You bet! They deserve a shoutout too bc they make so much of it possible as well. Everyone plays an important role! xoxoxo

[@priv9512]

Watch their Grammys 2022 performance. You'll love it.

[@xela_a]

i love your insight i always learn something from your analysis 💜✨ so excited to see what choreo spoke to you!!!

[@lindseymackail9350]

Thank you! Im glad Im able to help you learn something with me speaking about their talents and Choreo 🥰

[@Caroline-eb2ys]

6:34 that part was actually intentional hahaha. The part where the other members were coming in was supposed to look like wave. Kinda like a wing flutter. Pulling into the song black swan again :)

[@lindseymackail9350]

OH Yes I know I just thought the wave cld have been. better ;)

[@Caroline-eb2ys]

@@lindseymackail9350 ahhh i see!! In that case, my bad. Love your reactions and vids on bts btw :)

[@kimberlymelyan3643]

Thank you for reacting to BTS. I wanted to make a suggestion if its ok. There is a quick dance video for the Butter video. Its 3 J dancing to the Megan the stallion rap part of the video. It is very short but really good and it shows only 3 members dancing. It is worth a look.

[@Brendaarosa]

You should watch Black Swan live performances!! And also Butter on Grammys 2022, two members had covid before and one of them had a broken finger so they only got 1 day before the actual performance to rehearse together all 7 of them!!

[@WonderingWildWanderingRose]

I loved your reaction. Especially for the dance practices I'm not really looking for "perfection" because they are still just practices. It's kind of fun in itself to spot the goofs and bloopers. We know how hard they work and that they will be giving every bit of their efforts for their performances. On the other hand, I find it a mark of professionalism how a performer recovers from the inevitable mishaps that happen during live performances. I think that's one major reason to have practiced so much to have muscle memory. Smooth as they are, as practiced as they are, BTS is a group of Professionals.

[@lindseymackail9350]

Agreed!! We are human and we all have/had moments on stage where we have things happen and a true professional will be sooo good at fixing it most people won't even notice it lol. I tell my students never let your face "show" you messed up...as long as you keep smiling and performing and not looking like "oh crap I messed up" all over your face people usually won't even notice.

[@fay-mSOPEfan62]

A prime example of that was when they debuted Black Swan live for the 1st time on the James Corden show..in a much smaller space than they'd been used to. When it got to the floor part you liked Lindsey, where they kick out a back leg after the body rocking, V full on kicked J-Hope in the head! He said afterwards the pain made him feel faint, but all you notice is him slightly re-adjusting his headmic & going straight into the next bit of choreo- such a professional (poor V said he was so nervous he didn't even realise what he'd done!) Again, when you watch the Grammy performance there's a bit where Hobi misses his step on the stairs but recovers so well that a few reactors I've watched haven't even picked up on it & commented. I love his & Jimin's dancing so much- different styles & backgrounds (Hobi has been dancing hip hop since he was 10) but both so accomplished (if you don't know by now, they were the two doing the duet in your earlier vid, where Jimin was the one blindfolded). I'm loving your assessments & looking forward to more!

[@gretchend6823]

Thank you so much for your reaction. It was so interesting to hear your explanations that help us appreciate the dance even more. 💜

[@lindseymackail9350]

🙏🧡

[@bettyraltejohn3374]

As a layman in dancing, I m already captivated with your reactions n side notes, it's very insightful for a person with no knowledge about anything to do with choreographies n dance, I can tell how passionate you are in your art n thank you so much for sharing it with us!

[@lindseymackail9350]

Thank you Betty x0x0x0

[@marialuisadepaulamaciel600]

Loved the video! Anxious for the reaction for ON, that one is also mindblowing! 😍🤩

[@lindseymackail9350]

Coming soon!

[@marygracer]

Have you even noticed that their start is their end as well? That is a very creative choreography indeed

[@lindseymackail9350]

Yes it ends with the same choreo they started with

[@beth8705]

It would be great to see your reaction to Enhypen’s ‘Fever’ dance practice! Love how thorough your reactions are! :)

[@shannonslutzky4754]

I’d love for you to watch their performance of black swan on james cordon. It was their first performance of the song, it is a really gorgeous set (and they are all barefoot😂)

[@Ferrfaa21]

Absolutely need your reaction for butter grammy 2022

[@elisekapstad38]

«I need you» dance practise is really good🙌🏼
