Movement Teacher Reacts To Les Twins - World of Dance Competition [REACTION]

Had to do the honor and react to these amazing twins.
Their confidence and skill are just insane, and their movements are so unique.
It's amazing seeing how different people take movement to a whole different level with their uniqueness.

Definitely react to more Les Twins your comments are interesting and I’d like to see your reactions to their other stuff as for laurent he definitely can do his signature “death drop” in a slower and more controlled manner in fact he’s been doing it differently since 2019

[@thegroundedman2191]

Ok, that's amazing then, this move usually requires a LOT of strength, which takes time to develop, very cool

Nah dude Laurent's been doing the death drop since 2009 he also invented the the 360 death drop which I don't know any dancer in history who's able to pull that off.

[@mowgli6345]

The twins are special because of their musicality. If you watch most dancers they'll stick to the percussive beat, or do whatever they want as long as it's in rhythm. The twins are constantly changing. Sometimes they'll take the beat, sometimes they'll take a vocal rhythm, sometimes they'll take a guitar riff. They're special because they show in their movements that they hear every part of a song.

[@thegroundedman2191]

Yes! exactly, that's an amazing ability to guide people through a song

[@solomoon3083]

The purposefulness In them not being precisely the same is amazing. I’m glad you noticed it. They are truly one altogether.

[@karencookissimo2279]

Please react to their next performance on the WOD show, after Laurent broke his leg. It's amazing, the storytelling is superb!

[@thegroundedman2191]

Got it, will do Karen :)

[@nachonachos2185]

He never broke his leg

[@rissa_1206]

@@nachonachos2185 it was his ankle and he was in a wheelchair in one of the performances and people thought it was just a prop but he actually broke his leg or ankle

[@caglarmetiner4464]

Guys he didn't brake anywhere ! He is fucked it up his knee no broke

[@pictureofmyjunk2279]

I think they are the best dancers alive. Choreography, synchronization and personality on another level. Like MJs miles ahead of their counterparts.

[@thegroundedman2191]

Definitely two of the best out there

[@teddij4922]

Twins are just that impressive. Larry can do waves with his legs in slow motion and Laurent can do the drop/squat on his toes as you say in slow motion too…and even reverse

[@anissab.5375]

Great reaction ! I love how you explained things here, it's perfectly explained cause it's exactly what the twins try to teach people in their workshops. They don't often do difficult moves, most of the times it's weird moves 😂But because they are expressing their musicality and their feelings and emotions so precisely, because they believe in what they're saying with their bodies, their moves become powerful and hit us. Anyways you said a lot of interesting things and a lot facts about them that you probably don't know are facts but this only shows how much you pay attention to the craft 😊Please react to more of them, there is so many things to explain and say about those twins. To answer some of your "interrogations" they do have a lot (and I mean A LOT) of flow that they chose to express when the feeling is coherent I guess. And also, behind the scene is actually exactly like on stage, they hurt themselves constantly because they don't care about their own bodies' limits (their words, not mine). They literally refuse to let their bodies forbid them from doing a certain move or whatever, they're all about EXPRESSING what's inside. Fascinating really... Imma stop right here before I write a book in that comment section. 😂

[@thegroundedman2191]

Lmao, that's an extreme statement, but many dancers have the same mentality, and with a little bit of strength & bulletproofing work I think so much damage can be avoided :)

[@carmengrauwels]

But after Laurent knee insury Larry didn't let hem wanne go all the way. You can see that in video's after Larry: Lau no Laurent: still doing his thing Larry: calm down & so on and on

[@78SR]

As someone with a background in dance and a lifetime in visual art, I have a problem when comments include words like "weird". Saying something is weird about a an artwork usually means that you don’t know enough to put it in context. Les Twins fans know their story and their influences, but the first time I saw them them dance I thought their movements were very descriptive of the music and saw classical postures in juxtaposition with movement that reflected contemporary technology. As I watched more and more of Larry and Laurent, I saw how easily they could broaden cultural, social and emotional references in ways that dancers never have done. It’s clear from their story that Les Twins have been building a vast physical vocabulary from early childhood. Laurent in particular is constantly reaching for emotional and playful nuances to illustrate music as well as the human connection to and through music. Les Twins are groundbreakers. I believe that Nijinsky was important because he was insistent on his connection with the viewer. Les Twins even more commanding of audience response. They are riveting.

[@mercedesdaye2931]

You write very well!

[@Invaluable1]

Relax, it was weird in a good way. For the natural performer or non dancer, some of the movements would be classified as weird, and that's what makes Les Twins even better and unique.

[@78SR]

Art historians and serious critics use more specific words than "weird", which has a subjective and somewhat ambiguous meaning, for describing various criteria for art forms.

[@mercedesdaye2931]

Hey, in my opinion they didn’t edit the song too much, they are on a show and I would think there are time constraints, in addition they choreograph to any slice of the song they wish! They don’t dance like girls. The combine a myriad of dance styles ( ballet, modern, etc) in their performances. Sometimes they tell stories when they dance. They also do interpretations of the music. Very good in my opinion and I am not trained. They are trendsetters. They go all over the world and teach their unique blend of dance. What is dance anyway?😂

[@mercedesdaye2931]

I like that you picked up on your first review of them, they hear music differently, and bring it to the surface. There is a video out there where Laurent one of the twins explains this. Kudos to you on that!

[@LeChalet360]

Smartest reaction ever! You’re very perceptive thank you for this reaction! 💚

[@thegroundedman2191]

Thank you :)

[@BeautifulEarthJa]

I've never heard the 'death drop' called a 'sissy squat' before...watch more Les twins please, I love you commentary.

[@thegroundedman2191]

Thanks Veronice :) It's very similar, seems like the main difference is that in the death drop you stand on your toes

[@tommymyrvang3805]

I have seen him do the same move slovly. He have so mutch body control. And he can do it with narrow space between legs.

[@drivenbythechills]

Really nice reaction bro! Everything you pointed out about them is 100% on point. Fact that not all their movements make sense in a way but because they believe it so much, they make you believe it is completely that. Their musicality is unmatched, that's like you will never touch them on that.

[@mercedessmith2646]

Laurent actually can do different variations of the cc-squat (not sure if that's how you spell it lol) he can do it slow like you said, stichatto, twirling, all of it! You'd be surprised actually what their bodies are capable of 😂

[@ndodareacts5233]

i like how you explain about the song. but to me, even if a song is bad or youre not used to it. why care about the original one if the dance moves are the ones you need to watch?

[@thegroundedman2191]

Because to me dancing is always about the music it's connected to, and if that relationship is engineered too much it feels synthetic a bit

Awww yeeeah I was waiting for this one!! Awesome! If I could suggest another video if you want to do another one of these sometime, it's the "AMAZING MOMENTS at Fusion Concept Festival 2019" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/jImlpK2ZjbJmm5I).
