The choreographer behind Jungle’s Back On 74

[@kamrenwilliamson402]

His dances are just so fun like it make you wanna dance too

[@adellesoloe7864]

Right. It’s not too serious & pretentious. It’s just fun & entertaining & inviting, like not taking yourself too seriously. You don’t even realize you’re dancing 😂 so cool

[@cokser]

Naw it had me so bad I was dancing to it at school in the hallways💀

[@moneymanifestation9505]

Actually they look extremely gay and not for straight men at all😂would you ever see someone dancing like this in the club😂never in your life

[@madeofcastiron]

ikr? like idc if i look goofy trying to dance the choreo. it’s impossible not to dance along

[@ree3197]

Yess.. make me wish I was a dancer. So creative

[@lalalanidani]

The kind of choreo that you can feel in your soul while watching it... so colorful.

[@MichaelHarto]

I feel it in my bones! And i crave for more

[@TuanNguyen-ed9rb]

my kind of dance move if i know how to dance, so simple but yet so free

[@ree3197]

Colorful is the word!

[@santasgotgifts]

I’m not a dancing kind of person but when I saw this I was instantly captivated.

Well said @NeonPixels81!!! ❤

[@ashleyeverything588]

Thisss!!

[@pcla.94]

Very well put! There’s just something so satisfying and mesmerizing about a choreography that is performed perfectly with the entire vibe of a song.

[@fionawilliams176]

Totally agree! It meshes together like pieces to a puzzle. Masterpiece ❤️

[@evelynkrull5268]

I love how loose it is. It seems like someone posessed to dance instead of someone choosing to dance. Or like someones body took over without their own control. Very cool

[@giovanciliberto1874]

Yes it’s loose and tight at the same time. Quite amazing

[@amemark8843]

You're absolutely right, and I thought the same thing myself. ❤

[@dustymetso]

The choreography is incredibly precise, so seamless that it may appear effortless, but rest assured, it's meticulously executed. The level of skill and dedication from everyone involved is truly impressive.

Shoutout to Black American Culture... its a beautiful thing to see our art inspire the world

[@cedricnicholson7446]

Black American culture has made the biggest impact on the world from country, jazz, pop, rock, hiphop, funk, disco, dance. We should feel proud because our ancestors suffered much because greatness was just a seed in every generation until Civil War. The seed started sprouting and look at its reach now.

[@shafsteryellow]

Good entertainers

[@jeansullivan189]

Also there was a merging of Black Americans and American Indians and this also led to an influential sound for rock music. PBS had a show on it which was really good.

[@roddo1955]

I'm a descendant of enslaved people from Africa. And I am getting tired of the constant focus on the struggles of my ancestors when something positive about black culture is being CELEBRATED. Maybe its because I'm not a black American. I am black Dutch. 😂that's not even a term in my country. I'm just dutch. With afro carribean parents. I didn't grow up with white people. And I celebrate the resilience and beauty of my 'skin-folk'. I would find it insulting to my ancestor to use a moment of celebration as an opportunity to mention their suffering to satisfy your own need: to get likes on youtube. Music and dance is for everybody.

[@roddo1955]

​@@shafsteryellowwe are not your jesters.

[@nousnous4361]

And even then the black influence on the world's creativity goes far beyond Black America. Reggaeton was created by Jamaican Panamanians and filtered through to all of Latin America, modern rap originates from Jamaicans 'toasting' as they did back home but continued this once some of them emigrated to the States (most of the originators of hiphop are West Indian), Samba dance and samba music, which then influenced bossa nova and other Brazilian and jazz rhythms, all originate from Afro Brazilian slaves etc. I haven't even covered the direct African influences that the globe now uses for artistic expression. Our legacy as a diaspora is inspiring😍

[@user-hr3yn6st4n]

Will West is just beautiful, amazing, his movements are more than just dancing, it’s like his persona just hypnotizes you, and his moves are music in itself.

[@xSoSurreal]

When I saw this dance and heard the song my mind immediately went to black music and dance back in the 70’s. It was conveyed well. ❤❤

[@bodyofhope]

My mind went straight to Jamiroquai... but he's highly influenced by 60's, 70's and 80's music, so that makes sense.

[@andy34isabor89]

I love the old 60s and 70s black dance shows. The temptations is basically the reason i even began singing

@@jenerin905 Will and Didde-Mie have amazing video presence, Didde-Mie has done extensive work as a model, and Will has done a bit too. i would love to see them live because they wouldn't be drowning out the rest of the dancers. David Cottle is the guy in the leather jacket in Volcano, brilliant on his own, combines the joy of old school hip hop with contemporary modern, and he just gets ate in the videos the rest of the crew is just that good. Try to keep your eye on David in Back on 74, he shines in the back, lol.
