Professional Dancer Reacts to ATEEZ "Hala Hala" Dance Practice and Performance

[@EmeroyB]

"you should've reacted to the music video!" music videos often have a lot of moments where they're just focused on one of the artists for an elongated amount of time. so while it probably has the best overall execution of the vision, it does nothing in helping me see the actual dance performance.

[@cristinaquintero9432]

i loved your reaction! if you want to see more clean and choreography-focused types of music videos, i recommend looking at ones titled “performance videos.” they focus mostly on choreo and are as clean cut as music videos

[@raeve7468]

Loved your reaction but this song doesnt have an mv it has an official performance video with almost no close ups like the ine from dingo that you watched but still no matter what type of video it is, they literally snapped on HALA HALA

can’t wait to see your reaction to this, im not an ateez stan, but i strongly believe they are one of the strongest, if not *the* strongest, dancers of their generation :) their energy on stage, especially san, is insane edit: it seems people (cough **jolie** cough) are fighting each other for no reason in the replies. i simply stated my opinion, as many others are doing so, but don’t attack others for stating an OPINION. i only stan one group, and that’s bts. i think they are also strong performers, but in a different way from ateez. don’t compare groups and say one is better than the other, because each group has their own vibe and shouldn’t be called an imitation of another. also, there’s a reason i said “their generation.” bts, got7, exo, etc are from a different generation, so why even bring them up smh. if you’re gonna bring up groups at all, respectfully ofc, bring in the right ones plz :) once again, who the strongest dancers are is just an opinion, so stop attacking each other omg edit 2: is it possible to delete someone from my replies 💀 its been over two weeks and they’re still here-

[@EmeroyB]

From this video I saw. I don't think they did. It was the right amount of energy for the song and choreo.

[@luizamodestosilva]

@@EmeroyB thank you for answering! usually ateez go all out with the movements and facial expressions, it's a beautiful explosion of energy! one of the members, san (he was the center during the last chorus of hala hala) he usually goes all out and often he seems more intense than the rest so people think it's overperforming, but i just think that it's because his personal style of dancing is heavily influenced by popping and krumping. ateez trained in america before debuting (to see what they picked up from that training i suggest 3 short videos: "KQ fellaz performance video I, II and III" after debut until today they train with an actual dance crew called BB Trippin instead of just picking up the choreos from random choreographers, that's why they have a very consistent and distinct style of dancing!

Dang, I swear Hala Hala is really underrated if you ask me. I can’t wait to see your reaction to this especially since this song’s videos were more focused on the choreography. Even the official video itself felt more like a performance video since it was all mostly just showing that one set of them dancing. There’s not much acting/set pieces where there was no dancing. They’re imo one of the if not the best dancers so I can’t wait to see the reaction of a professional dancer himself.

[@luusena]

the guy you said you were a fan is SEONGHWA he's an amazing performer truly

[@jebalifyouplz]

Their performances are insane. I've been into kpop for 12 years and I never watched fancams before ateez but I actually search for theirs. Because they all perform the song on their faces differently and hit their styles differently. Especially San. He is a beast with performances (I always recommend watching official fancams of this song because of San he literally is possessed) They're only a two year old group. They're very involved in the dance world and their choreographers and performance coaches are their backup dancers. (bb tripping) they have KZbin videos of their versions as well. I'd really recommend Say My Name just for the dance practice alone it is hella hard hitting. They are dancers/performers over everything else and you can tell that. Thank you for reacting to them!!! And actually analyzing, a lot of dance reactors don't, which is fine but it's nice to see someone critique. also just saying, the performance video you watched btw isn't the typical one that is promoted or watched. The actual one is also a performance video but they all wear masks and so the focus really is on the performance and how well they can get across the energy to the camera. It's epic. Maybe check it out even on your own just because I need you to see it haha. For something else to react to, Taemin.

Ateez are one of the best performers of this generation. I don't watch live stages or fancams of other groups as much as I watch Ateez's even with my ultimate bias group (EXO). They are really good when it comes to dance.

[@SimStarx]

yess this reaction was so good thanks so much!!! 18:53 is a mood ahaha Yeosang has a super intense gaze (in a good way) especially when he's wearing contacts. also mullet man in Hongjoong! and Seonghwa is the guy you said you were a fan of for his performance commitment. Ive seen Hala Hala live and they did not disappoint - the hype and energy they give to the crowd is insane and it was so clean and strong just like you said. Especially the end where San (red and black hair) is centre and the energy goes wild, that was really incredible live aha Also other Ateez performances you might wanna check out are: Thanxx, Say my name, Wonderland and Wave - but I find all of Ateez's choreos are interesting and unique so hopefully you'll like them!

Thank you for this credible genuine input on Ateez. Please free to react to a lot of Ateez content. They are not only dancers, they are very much creative performances. I have never seen a group before all share incredible facial expressions. I never knew how important facial expressions are before ateez. Truly, best kind of performers. And please, if you like you can watch their fancams. Like San's or Seonghwa's wonderland, inception fancams etc to truly see how versatile their dancing style is and they are able to morphe and hence conform themselves to the song's emotions and dynamics! They are incredible.

[@shileanshinobi5683]

I've watched your previous reactions to bts and exo and they are incredible and really show the experience and expertise they have accomplished since they started ~7 years ago, for ateez what still amaze me is the fact that they release this song like 2 months after debut and already had so much presence and power, if they were like this months after debut imagine what they could do in the future.

I was looking forward to this because I really think ATEEZ has a very special ability to perform. Particularly their commitment to their expressions as you mentioned. I don't think they are scared to look a bit intense or ugly or scary in the way a lot of idols are. I think part of it is the concept, but they also just SELL it IMO. I'm glad you were able to pick up on that. I really enjoyed the format of your analysis as well and I look forward to more! You had great attention to detail and I think I picked up on a lot of things I didn't see before and it's been almost 2 years since I first saw this haha.

[@teatimewiththeia]

As someone with no dance background I really appreciate that you point out all the small details I would have never seen. Also I recommend watching the Hala Hala Offical MV (Performance ver.) on Ateez offical channel KQ. Only there the whole concept comes together. The one from Dingo you just watched is good but missing some really important details from the actual plot. The atmosphere in the original MV just can not be topped!

[@jaiellise2789]

They are shy babies when not performing but they are considered "demons" on stage. Fan or not, you'll be captivated by their facial expressions every single time they perform. My neck and back hurts everytime San goes all out😆

[@Alice_Novelland]

Enjoyed watching this a lot! One of the main things that I think makes Ateez stand out from other Kpop groups is in fact they're performance level. They perform with their whole body AND their whole face!! Their facial expressions are amazing! It's something I see and hear from many people that watch/react to Ateez :) Ateez really deserves all the recognition, such a talented bunch of people 💙

Hongjoong is the only PERSON I have ever seen that looks better with a mullet than without it. He looks soooooooo good.

[@i_kpop_fan]

I am totally not shocked that you love Seonghwa’s commitment. HALA HALA is HIS song. He kills in it. And yeah...San wilds when the choreo gets fun, no matter the song. You should watch the actual music video. Just makes it even better. Ateez is a performance group and are very well rounded. When it comes to how they perform, I don’t know any group that matches them on stage. You should also check out Inception, Thanxx, Say My Name and Wonderland.

[@ladyreanreacts]

I'm actually a new Atiny (fandom name) and I really do think their performances are on another level especially considering that they're rookies or a relatively new group. I learned that they trained dance in the US before they made a debut in Korea and have a strong international fans coz of their dance performance/covers before their debut.

[@Saddlemomma]

Taemin of SHINee and SuperM just chewed up and spit out the entire Kpop industry with his newest MV, "Idea." He literally just reinvented Kpop; something only he could do. The choreo is INSANE. I hope you will react to it and not miss out on this iconic moment!

[@rinaguo90]

Thank you so much for reacting to them! Ateez is only 2 years into their careers (although Hala Hala was about 3 months into their careers) but they’re still quite under appreciated in Korea but it honors me that you heard about them enough to take some time to listen and watch them. It means a lot. Thank you!

[@leopoldhollow]

Just to let you know, it's called a practice or a rehearsal but usually groups put a lot of effort into these particular ones that will get uploaded for the fans to see. In the beginning, pretty much no K-pop groups did dance rehearsals. SHINee, an iconic K-pop group who shaped the dance aspect of K-pop and have been in the industry for 12 years, did a dance practice of their debut song that really was just their practice and fans loved it. You can find it here on KZbin, it's the original 'Replay' dance practice. But doing dance practices really blew up when SHINee did the iconic Lucifer dance practice, and after that dance practices grew and groups began to take them more seriously too, almost like a competition of the coolest dance practice. So now it's like tradition to do a dance practice of title tracks soon after they are released :) I don't think you needed a history on K-pop dance practices but I just think it's cool!

Yeah, the whole dance practice thing is genius really. Another way of promoting the artists and music.
