CDK - Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye

No, the problem with the chair kick is that it shows that the timing of this performance can be slowed down or sped up in this video. Are these precise movements actually filmed at half speed and then sped up?

[@Gee-xb7rt]

I'm not sure I love the choreography but the talent is leaves me awestruck.

I don't think it's sped up, as hair, clothing etc. seems to move (eg. fall) normally. Which makes it even more impressive

[@ittybittyshae]

This is a literal masterpiece. The intensity of each dancer, the synchronicity and clean, sharp lines in movement but with the flawless execution in the flow of “chaotic” and extremely hard choreography. They absolutely killed this. I can’t stop watching, I mean it’s just SO captivating. Even the color scheme and outfits are perfect. The cinematographer has a beautiful way of shooting and telling this story. This entire piece is EXACTLY how this songs FEELS. Frustrating, prideful, bittersweet. I’m obsessed, and this has brought my love and hope of actual dance back, it’s been awhile so thank you CDK. This deserves ALL the praise and recognition.

[@marianette5508]

NOW THIS... THIS IS ART. I've seen so many dance choreographies throughout my life but this is the first time I've seen a dance that makes you think it's ART. Dancing is an expression, it's an art. This is the type of dance that doesn't make you focus on one person only because everyone-- in their own individuality makes them whole. Everyone is just so amazing! Dancing isn't only about flashy and snappy moves; it isn't only about people doing backflips or popping your joints. It's about the expression through the movement of your body with or without the accompaniment of music, but this... THIS IS ART ACCOMPANIED BY MUSIC. The synchronization of different movements to ONE song is just so mezmerizing to watch. It's like watching an art piece come to life.

Not another KZbin/TikTok dance challenge.“ Hip hop, Celtic, even ballroom are all fabulous, but also not really my “bag.” I have a background myself in modern dance and ballet. (although I’m 63 now and it’s some years since I’ve worked at the barre). I’m also a lifelong fan of Broadway musicals, especially when fabulous dance numbers are part of the show!

A complete TRIUMPH of choreography, cinematography, , costume, location, musicality, technical execution on so many levels including the CONTROL these dancers needed to execute the full out choreography with such crisp undisturbed stops. Can we please take. moment for the visual brilliance and execution of the chair 'flick' off stage? I mean!!! I hope you receive all the awards this deserves. BRAVO!!!!

[@jeantremblay4821]

That chair flick is epic from start to finish ...so many elements visually!

That chair flick was 🤌💋

The Chair flick was stunning and exciting!! The style of dress they wore and the colours all complimented the entire production but the chair flick was sensational.

[@kamcdermetmcdermet8256]

NO Kidding! What beautiful choreography!! Dancing! Wardrobe choices! .......chorography!!

[@ambhatti1538]

I love the mix of all the colors! Much more pleasing to the eye than a set of uniforms...

[@NOBUxDrillz]

This performance really gets me emotional, the movement, matching the story in the song is top tier. This has to be one of the most complex songs to choreograph, And they NAILED IT. At release this song WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST HITS IN THE WORLD. I LOVE THIS SONG

[@user-iy7uy2hc3b]

This group is f’in amazing… will go down as one of the best choreographies of all time! I’d love to see a documentary of the making of the routine..

[@traceylocke8189]

Not only brilliant for choreography, costumes and casting, but haven’t we all felt those moves inside us? The best thing I’ve seen in years.

[@johnfritz4096]

You said that perfectly. The answer is yes. The dancers movements coupled with the lyrics of that song really struck a chord in me.

[@lucindasharp690]

Wow, wow, wow. Brilliant choreography, brilliant dancers, brilliant costumes, brilliant filming. Thank you to the creative team at CDK.

[@adrianjcox8611]

I'm really old and I find this video totally changed my view about young people, if they can put this much good stuff into the world, there is hope for us all. This work is refreshing and life enhancing. i don't know how they achieved that. It's an amazing piece of work. Every time I need cheering up I watch it and it always works. And I notice some new little detail every time I watch.

[@leigh-annhall5693]

The CHOREOGRAPHY is AMAZING So completely different from anything I've ever seen. Just BRILLIANT. !!!!!!!🎉

[@timmerred5]

I’m not someone who is typically drawn to watching dance. This was absolutely fantastic! Besides the outstanding choreography, I was also fascinated with the clothing, the color palette, and the camera work. I definitely had an emotional response to watching you all, and that is part of what art is about. Thank you all for entertaining me and making me feel something.

[@spideywhiplash]

Agree! You nailed it.

[@daryaelle4808]

Yes, I love the palette! Teal is my second fave color, after scarlet.

The wardrobe helps make each character unique. And they don't all look like dancers. They look like regular people.

[@colettecrouin5133]

Incroyable super 👍

[@traceydillon9690]

I hadn't thought that the costuming would be planned, full kudos. I liked to imagine that each dancer wore their own clothes which represents who they are. Love being able to tell the individuals apart.

[@deborahcavel-greant6155]

Wow! I'm 78 and absolutely BLOWN AWAY! What a beautiful *compelling* experience you've created! Thank you! Now I must go back and watch it again!

I watch this dozens of times, focusing on one dancer each time. Although they are in group unison, they keep throwing in individual movements at the same time. Epic work.

Watching this is like a Wes Anderson film on steroids. With every viewing there is something new. Outstanding work by these talented individuals.

[@SidratJ]

Phenomenal. The choreography. I haven't saved a choreography video in ages... It's so deceptively simple, so technical. Each movement marries the lyrics. A visual delight. I'm just... Dumbfounded. The art direction. The costumes - so individualized and yet, so homogeneous with the central theme. The color palette, textures, the fabrics, the accessories. Even the tattoos belong. The bell bottoms, the shine on the shoes. The editing. The camera moving with the dancers. Some of the best zoom work I've noted. Not one frame out of place. Not one breathe out of place. I wish we got to see the making of this beauty. I wish we got to hear the raw dance, I expect goosebumps with the feet taps on the wooden floor. The sound of the jumps, the occasional grunt. This team deserves to be flown in to perform at the Grammys or Academy Awards or something. Calling this a masterpiece is not enough. What have you all done? 💔 It's like... The universe conspired to land you all in this project. ❤ from 🇧🇩

[@TokyoBlue587]

There is a video of them performing this live on stage at a dance competition, and it’s just as amazing

I keep repeating this video and finding more and more richness in the entire thing.

It’s called retirement. Eventually we all get there if we are lucky and I was. Sad that you take compliments right to a negative place. I wish you the best though in your journey. Hopefully you learn to uplift others instead of putting them down it makes for a much more fulfilled life. As the quote goes by Robert Ingersoll “We rise by lifting others”. But hey kindness isn’t a talent and can’t be taught, you either have it or you don’t…

I'm 71, not a dancer although I loved to dance. Perhaps that's what captures me here? No. It's the artistic expression of the lyrics. It's moving. It mesmerizes. But, it's still the nexus of melody and lyrics that provides the beat.

[@lynnsane1]

I could have stated your exact words

[@thedancingdivaofdaviestree2320]

Beautifully stated - it's well worth watching multiple times. I'm 69 and still dancing (though it gets called "performance art" and you don't have to be as technically perfect as these superb dancers.) I agree - dancing is part of me, releases the stress and pain of the worst moments, helps me celebrate the best ones. Dance always fills my spirit with joy. My best moments are when my body dances ME in a kind of dream dancing rich with symbol and metaphor. The choreography is perfectly suited to the song, the costumes, and the tight timing and synchronicity of that many dancers is just superb.
