"There's a line between just great dancing and artistry." I completely agree with you 100%. A lot of kpop idols are GREAT dancers. Amazing technique and body control. But I feel like there's sometimes a disconnect between their dancing and their emotions. And I don't blame them because some kpop songs don't really set that emotional tone. But a lot of idols focus on EXECUTING MOVES rather than EXPRESSING THE MUSIC. And Ten has both, the skill/technique and the expression/emotion.

[@sbudke8607]

You said that perfectly

[@minaawa]

Totally All so true

[@chananchitakarssen9920]

Well said!!

[@pattarawijitrajantakat2704]

I​ do​ agree​ with​ you.​

[@aphiradeesangnarong7059]

Totally agree

[@mintairen]

Ten is a Pro dancer! not only an idol dancer. He can do every style. I respect to him. Ten is out of Ten 👍👍

[@aphiradeesangnarong7059]

I do agree with you.

[@npisshin]

Some ppl in the comment maybe kind of forgetting that Ten started with Breaking(bboy), Hiphop and was about to go to HHI(Hiphop int. Competition) in usa with his teacher's team when i was only 13-14 years old(but he decided to come to SM first so he didn't go with them), its not that Ten just added this style after working with some choreographers teachers lately. He was also into strong and powerful hiphop and popping dance too and( also locking if you check his old dance videos before him entering sm) But at the same time he also has that fluid elegrance delicate moves since he practiced those flexible from gymnastics and basic ballet when he was little but everything just get better and better from his practicing nonstop And also because of the knee surgery that makes him focused on fluid than using too much strength on his legs(and he also said that he tries not to use too much legs) but we can see that he can't at the end Ten is still put all the energy in every part of his body and his moves. And to be able to do all these things TEN must have a lot of diligence A lot of patience required, must be very disciplined, and it takes a lot of courageand and confidence. Including having the respect to himself a lot.

[@pattarawijitrajantakat2704]

I​ agree.

[@tytrack174]

Thank you so much for this comment. Ten is an amazing dancer and artist!

[@tiffanykim2773]

Bada Lee the choreographer said this is something only Ten could.

[@cherrybomb5450]

Ten is the best Kpop dancer. 🙌

[@LinBeReal]

Jrick Baek worked on this song too

[@liamckay1624]

This is why I think that even if there are incredible dancers in NCT like Taeyong, and Shotaro nobody is able to create and tell a story with just their body quite like TEN can. It’s not just his technique it’s how artistically connected he his to what he wants to portray with the dance.

[@xme1065]

So true.

[@tiffanykim2773]

This is something that you can check out on your own time. While Ten was on great dance crew in China earlier this year as a Mentor/Leader he did a great job of showing that he's not only an amazing dancer but also an amazing choreographer and teacher. He talked about and showed the contestants how to feel the music as they're dancing, how to tell a story through your dancing, where to hit hard and when to stay loose etc or where to be soft when executing certain dance moves. He even performed on the show. It's funny because their were a few people who were fans of WayV and Ten before they auditioned for the show but the majority of them weren't aware of who Ten was because WayV are not that popular in China just yet but why the end of the show they all loved him and they all admired his dancing, they were in awe of performer Ten Lee. Ten has mastered many different genres of dance and he started learning before he even started training to be an idol. He is a dancer dancer not just an idol dancer and he said recently that his focus now a days rather than learning new genres of dancing is mixing different genres of dance together instead. He also said he focuses the little things in his dancing rather than big movements. Ten is amazing and he deserves more recognition for his skills.

[@iamreiaroman5128]

and add to that,remember the joke abt the sexy b-boy on that show?this is it! and it looked elegant the way he performed it.

[@cyberrubis]

Generally speaking, I feel like the public perception of Ten's dance style has been 180 degree of what it actually was. Since these past few years he has been showing fluid lines which set him apart from Hiphop-based dance style in usual KPOP, people tend to assume that his initial training were in contemporary, jazz or even ballet - which is not the case at all. He actually just tried out those style of dancing after he came to Korea. For what we've known, he was trained as a gymnast as a child. Afterward, when he started learning dance, it was mostly BBoy and hiphop. There are several pre-debut pictures showing him doing B-Boy handstand move when he's prolly 14-15. So, heavy hiphop is not new to him. He's been dancing and perfecting the craft from the very start. What actually new to him are comtemporary, modern, jazz and lyrical and traditional dance (see his duo performance on GDC) but he just executes everything oh so perfectly people tend to forget his origin.

[@EJS-oh6re]

Ten was a bboy and still can do break dancing now. He did bboy moves in his HIT THE STAGE performances which you already reacted on your patreon 😊

[@EJS-oh6re]

And it’s the “bow down btxches” for me 🤣🤣🤣

[@allons_y1001]

Ten did bboying when he was younger and competed... if you watch Ten fancams of the SM Rookies show performance of Switch, you'll see his bboy dance break. I think he's wearing a knee brace... it's only on the one knee and he's on the uncovered knee often.

[@artistblue18]

He might just be wearing only one knee pad or brace because that probably is the knee he got surgery on for a chronic injury in 2017

[@sbudke8607]

theres people who do art and theres people who are art itself and ten is that art he is sooo smooth with his transitions and literally every little detail even with the tricks he keeps it part of the dance not just like oh heres a dance and this is a separate trick As a dancer in many different styles myself he is a HUGE INSPIRATION his dancing is absolutely GORGEOUS its not even funny how beautiful he makes everything 😭😭😭😭 he makes my dance heart happy every time he dances 😮 Also dancing on camera is HARD AF so the fact hes this smooth on camera just impinge what its like in person

[@tatiana_99b]

For years I've been saying how Ten is for me in the top 3 of the best dancers This choreography shows how much control he has, his strength, his flexibility, just his talent ! I wish people would pay more attention to him 🥲🥲

[@denissewoo]

"He is just bragging now" hahahah for sureeee,as she should tho!! he is so f**king amazing. Best dancer of his generation for sure.

[@derppyt7830]

It’s funny watching you praised Ten because I still remember that your tweet called him “just an idol-dancer” 😂

[@xme1065]

I like to see that clip too. Haha

[@TiaMayberry]

Ten and Taemin are my favorite dancers/performers in the industry. The way they breathe life and soul into the choreo is incredible and unparalleled.

[@fenneczee]

Jeff I still remember your deleted tweet called him “just an idol dancer” 😂 is so funny now

[@biancabailey3785]

hold on what ?

[@tiffanykim2773]

11:40 I think he would have. Ten is always in the practice room doing something or the other he would have gotten to this point regardless.

[@farahmaharafa1943]

Yesss finally... I really love your reaction, thank you Jeff you are the best.. thumbs up 👍😁

[@koryunderhill7541]

Ten and Taemin are my two favorite dancers and singers and the two of them in super m was an awesome decision

[@kanishka107]

Watching your videos actually makes viewers realise how hard the "effortless moves" Actually are

[@TheUndersized]

I feel like SM really pushed the limits of "dance practice" with this video - with that many cuts, it really is a performance video on a practice room hahaha fantastic dancing (and analysis) of course.

[@xme1065]

What do you want to say anyway haha.

[@Kung2309]

Ten is monster he is very very awesome!!❤❤

[@regggina89]

Thank you so much for this reaction!!!👍👍👍

[@snehasaha0854]

Ten really dances so emotionally like watching him I really got teary eyes

[@tayaha871]

I think TEN can dance more than in this choreograph. You should respect his choreographer by not saying they put all the things TEN can do in this video. The dance moves relate to the song. By the way Thanks to react TEN’s video it can tell your attitude to him.

[@cocoa8668]

I was waiting for this. Thanks for the reaction Jeff! also Ten was out of ten on this song.

[@minaawa]

Thank you for your reactions Always detailed and best

[@foreversolely]

8:43 wise words from Jeff Avenue💚💚

[@clarissamangueira2973]

I love your videos Jeff. Your comments about the choreographies are so nice. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@a_maze_in_kwangya]

In my opinion, Ten is becoming the best at dancing in neo city!

[@yustisias4367]

Ten is art.

[@andalee13]

Love the way you Reaction to Tenlee. this performance like the art from Ten

[@KingEDZKY]

On the behind the scenes you can actually see how they choreographed that body wave part, like you said it was indeed from the breakdancers' get up move.

[@zoebezuidenhout9180]

Ten is amazing

[@venuslilith]

❤❤❤

[@cassie7thomson]

Ten is great at expressing the music thru his dancing and he's flexible as heck (think it was program called Hit or burn the stage, he done moves that would have broken someone else) I like to rewatch these dance practice videos, coz afterwards I wanna see who of the backing dancers stands out (coz u want them to be good and not feel they prob got picked due to big IG/Yt following) - in this one I think the blonde girl with more cropped top on - seemed to have more finish to the moves - shes on Ten's left at the end

[@anandaoliveira5593]

yeeaaah i enjoyed a lot! guess it was after you made this video but now there is also one of backstage with bada plus other coreographer and speaks with what you said here! so could you do a reaction of the process as well plss? and this style of song/coreography reminded me so much of jk i don't know why but i think it suits him well and would like for him to do something in those lines in the future :)))

[@BeatrizRodrigues-bj1de]

Is there an issue with the video audio or it's just me? If anyone else have the same problem please let me know!

[@allons_y1001]

Mine sounded fine.

I don't think the whole choreo for this was just because he met Bada. We all know that they knew each other even before some of Ten's solo work. But what I think is, GREAT DANCE CREW influenced him to do those kind of styles. He encountered a lot of dancers who specialized in different styles back in China last year (Waacking, Popping, Jazz, Hiphop, Modern, Street, Dancehall etc.) so I think that influenced him to do this. Thanks for this reaction! Love how you analyze especially including his artistry.

[@glailaxy]

"There's a line between great dancing and artistry" TEN HAVE BOTH 🔥.

[@adrienne3663]

Ten is the best dancer in Kpop🔥 I can't believe he's doing this choreo while also singing

[@cherrybomb5450]

yeah but the audacity of SM putting him as the lead dancer in superM... 🥲

[@yuliarompis9786]

As long as I watched the reaction video about how Ten could dance so perfectly, I was immediately touched by Jeff Avenue's words in the video. Feels like watching an inspirational video. Thanks Jeff, I'm grateful to have subscribed to your channel.

[@farreltatariti1483]

He's not just a dancer. He is the creator of art.

[@PollyHoneyLemon]

Yayy finally. Thank you for the reaction and analysis on TEN’s Birthday Dance Practice. I know TEN is a great dancer. But through your analysis, you’re making me recognised his outstanding skills even more. Love your reaction. Thank you for the video.

[@justanormalhooman]

I was so sad when I saw you had already filmed the MV + GDC dance practice reaction before the actual dance practice video came out. I would have understood if you didn't film a separate video because obviously editing is so much work and you probably had a few reactions already scheduled to be filmed. I really appreciate that you made a separate reaction video for the dance practice because unfortunately the MV edited out a lot of the breaking/b-boy dance moves that Ten did. Thanks for this reaction!

[@antaranaorem127]

Ten is one of the best dancers in whole kpop industry & considering the versatility of genres he can execute, he sure is the most underrated idols out there. Let's always support him czunnies^^

[@justanormalhooman]

I do agree with what you said about Ten's style kind of evolving after he met Bada. Because Bada specializes in more hard-hitting hiphop choreography, lots of isolations, popping & locking. Ten has bit more fluidity and softness in his movements compared to her. And the way they worked together to combine both of their techniques resulted in this amazing free-flowing hard-hitting work of art. The dynamics of this choreo is insane. The way Ten would execute strong sharp movements one second, and then slow down and do more sexy sensual moves the next. Also, I would like to add that they had another choreographer on this track, JRick, and he choreographed a lot of the break-dancing parts of the song, one of Ten's unique specialties.

[@chanchanten]

Actually Ten was using a lot of breaking and hiphop, he was always has that powerful hiphop plus the fluid at the same time, but he was focusing more on fluid after having knee surgery but actually he is still adding the breaking and hiphop in his dance a lot. I dont think that he is just evolving it recently but he was always have it but decide to careful his knee for while in the past.

[@yangmoney7]

I don't think the whole choreo for this was just because he met Bada. We all know that they knew each other even before some of Ten's solo work. But what I think is, GREAT DANCE CREW influenced him to do those kind of styles.

[@bettyreads222]

this is one of my favorite dance practices because those intricacies and like you said the artistry Ten shows is amazing. glad you reacted to this even if it came out the day after you posted haha schedules be what they be! appreciate your thoughts.

[@maecornelio]

Yeeeey thank you for uploading this jeff. I'm really looking forward to your reaction to this 'cause ten is just so insaaane. I totally agree with you too, i am so glad he had some dance lessons/dance practices with bada since i feel like he learned a lot from her and was able to learn tricks and moves that he can do so well, like really well

[@anikabhattacharya2489]

one of ur best reactions yet JEFF and one of TEN's best choreos yet 💖

[@meiiidina]

When I first watched the dance practice version, I was almost crying and it's so breathtaking, Ten's dancing is so beautiful, you're right Jeff, it's an ART✨💚😭

[@justanormalhooman]

"There's a line between just great dancing and artistry." I completely agree with you 100%. A lot of kpop idols are GREAT dancers. Amazing technique and body control.

"Just an idol dancer" U take that back now, don't u 🤣🤣 he's amazing

[@Anna_Bee]

Also I so agree that there are so many good dancers in the idol space, it's hard to keep surprising people when you've been marked as a main dancer since debut. I'm so glad he's trying to develop his own dance personality and the direction he's been going in as well. Can't wait to see what other styles he incorporates in his next projects. (Wayv comeback fighting! )💚

[@melt1295]

I was wondering if you're going to react to this video after you already had your reaction. I really enjoy it! You explain explain them intelligently! Ten already had the feeling or the emotion early on in his career which was seen in Hit The Stage 3 months after his debut. I wonder if Bada is already around that time?! They made choreography together it seems throughout his IG posts. What I love the most is the Bada and the other choreographer made it perfectly for Ten which was said only Ten can do.

[@kimkatp.7842]

Finally your video came out ❤️ I was waiting for your channel bc when it comes with dance analysis, I love to see your reaction and analysis most! When I saw that contempt dance move at the nearly end of the practice I thought that you would pause and like the move for sure! Thanks for the reaction I enjoyed this so much

[@Anna_Bee]

Thanks so much for making a 2nd video - I'm sure that was frustrating seeing the practice come out right after you uploaded. :) Really appreciate how you go into detail about all the different moves & moments! Ten is lucky to be able to work with some great choreographers. He's always been open about wanting to try different things and has tried lots of different styles, which is his greatest strength imo.
