Introducing Sweetsssj Dance with me #1!
I've always really enjoyed dancing, and actually when I was an ickle girl, I spent a good amount of time learning and practising various styles of dance including Ballet, Traditional Chinese Folk Dance and even ball room! Obviously the modern street, jazz, pop etc. interest me a great deal too.
Perhaps common knowledge to the younger audience, K-POP has taken the world by storm, what with groups like Big Bang, Girls Generation, Super Junior, 2NE1 and more recently EXO, T-ARA leading the pack, K-POP has really made quite an impact globally not just in the music industry but also in orthogonal industries like film, fashion and pop-culture.
One particular artist that has made quite a bit of noise is Hyuna.
Hyuna is the same age as me, but she has already made a significant impact in the k-pop industry both domestically and world wide. She started off her career as an original member of the girl-group, Wonder Girls. (You might know them for their hit song Nobody). She later joined another popular group called 4Minute.
With her multiple talents including a stand out stage presence, dancing and singing abilities, Hyuna eventually transitioned to a solo career where she has also enjoyed incredible success. Some songs you might have heard from her in her solo career are "Troublemaker", "Bubble Pop" and "Red".
Of course, we have all heard Psy's Gangnam Style which to this day is still the most viewed youtube video with over 2.7 Billion views, and she is no less a hot feature in this music video.
Today i'd like to share my little dance video to her other popular song "Roll Deep". This song has been interpreted by virtually all avid dancers in Korea as well as most of Asia.
Here's the music video!
Hope you enjoyed my dance video as much as I enjoyed making it. Do let me know what you think!
I'm so glad that you have entitled this post "#1" because I very much look forward to further entries in this series!
I am very partial to Chinese classical dance, especially court dances. Do you have any of those in your repertoire? To me that represents the absolute epitome of the dance art form. I can certainly enjoy jazz, ballroom, modern street and all the rest, but nothing penetrates to my spirit like Classical Chinese Dance :-)
I actually have learned some Chinese Classical Dance, and it will be my pleasure to share with Steemit when I get the opportunity to film. It's hard to get exclusive use of the dance studio, and sometimes its hard to find a good location elsewhere to match with the style of dance.
I'm flattered and impressed that you like Classical Chinese Dance though, I'm always very thankful for anyone that enjoys Chinese culture. One of my life missions is to spread the good parts of my culture to the world.
That would be fantastic! I hope you can work something out to make that happen. I absolutely concur with @onceuponatime. Great photo, by the way!
I would not be able put that any better :D
I am sorry to say but this post is hillerious ( for me) Roll deep guys for #2.
Xie Xie for your wonderful dance though and teaching us Chinese culture. I traveled for 6 weeks all over China and it was quite interesting.
PS :
I might have to change my concept and start a kick box video for Mammasitta's. #justkidding
I produced, in the 1980's, the first demonstration in Canada of Classical Chinese Dance at the Solar Stage, First Canadian Place in the financial district of downtown Toronto. I was also the business manager of the School of Chinadance, Toronto. I am pleased that my comment was able to provide you with a little hilarity.
Thats very interesting to hear about your life experiences and your comments are always inspiring for me! I created my first meme ever and it was super fun. @onceuponatime I did not think your comment was hillerious. I referred to the post in general. The choice of my vocabulary might have been misunderstood.
Can I come to dance with you?
that's the idea!
Wow, a sheer display of dexterity, keep it up and thanks for sharing :)
Please check out my blog and support with a follow back. Thanks
Thank you, strangely i've always been quite flexible which has been a point of jealousy from my ballet peers who many have had quite a difficult time loosening up! I've followed and look forward to good blogs from you soon :)
i love roll deep, but mostly older and more hardcore tracks like:
I'm struggling to think how I would go about choreographing that.. haha
What a gorgeous dancer you are, thanks for sharing with us all! I was really looking forward to that day. Namaste :)
Thanks Eric! Promised the dance video and here it is! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks, that was great!
Now I finally know, how you can be so fit, even if you are visiting one good restaurant after another! ;-)
That's a good point actually ! I think I'm still subconsciously taking advantage of my faster metabolism, but I dare not think what will happen a few years later.. best step up the dance game!
Second post today that left me speechless :-) - thanks for this awesomeness @sweetsssj - steemit has the best ladies of the internet!
Aww thanks, I feel very special! I agree , Steemit has such a great and diverse user base, it's really hard to compare !
Nice moves. Seems like you have two cams set down on a fixed positions. I was thinking nobody was controlling the cameras but there's some parts where there is some bit of zoom in out. So, #whysocurious me is wondering was anybody at the cameras?
Aha, actually I had to take many many takes from multiple angles and my mum helped me with some of the filming!
世上只有妈妈好。 Nice dance studio BTW.
Thanks ace!
You're welcome
Whoa! You have so many talents! Is there anything that you can't do?
Aw thanks David, I guess we all have things we're good at but without experimenting and trying things out, we'd never know! Still would love to learn and develop more modern dance skills, it's a bit like a classical pianist trying to pick up Jazz piano. Very hard!
Tell me about it! I actually have a piano and have tried playing for years. It's no easy task when you start as an adult. But good for you for trying new things! That's what it's all about, right?
Oh yeah for sure.. I'm in the same boat with the piano.. learned classical and some how just find it so hard to step out from that melodic world.
I seem to remember you have a knack for trading, now that's something I couldn't see myself ever been good at, that's something you should be proud of!
Yeah, I started out teaching myself classical piano and then began writing some rock and alternative melodies with a friend of mine. Took up guitar and some bass at the same time as well. I've tried my hand with some classical jazz piano, but I only ever learn parts of songs. Being self-taught, it's a little harder to keep up with it. I could probably use a few good lessons. Maybe I'll use some of my STEEM for that?
Yes, I have had some success with trading, so I always have that in my back pocket if I need it. I'm proud of a lot of the things that I've accomplished, but I still have a lot more left to do! And the good news is that I still have plenty of time to do it (I hope)!
Anyway...looking forward to more of these videos. You've already shown so much regarding the variety of interests and talents that you have. And to know that you're very intelligent and tuned into the more philosophical side of government/society and money/crypto is just icing on the cake. You're a very well-rounded individual and I applaud that! It's great to have you on this platform and I think you're going to be a huge factor in its success.
This is awesome.
Thank you goldmatters:)
Wow!!!!
thanks !
Got some skills :) keep on!
thanks makis84, will do!
who's a little multi-talented hottie!?
::blush::
Very nice ! @sweetsssj
Thanks marius !
wow, amazing.!!
very nice.
@sweetsssj
I have to give credit to the artist of course, the song just makes me want to jive!
A job very different from what we used to see, congratulations for your skill in dance, thank you for the video lady @sweetsssj
Haha, yes I figured a bit of diversity could never hurt.. Also since it's such a popular song, maybe it could bring some extra traffic here!
epic plz more splits.
Haha, we'll see in the next dance video! :D
you also really need to wear a make america great again red hat that would be awsome steemit would go nuts
I will see what i can do !
omg i cant wait
keep smiling
will do!
I was never big into K-Pop but I did think Hyuna had talent. Probably the only reason I even know what K-Pop is, but regardless you have the natural ability to perform and are by far more attractive than Hyuna, so follow your dreams!
Thanks clayboyn, I'm so flattered you think i'm more attractive than hyuna, she's so damn pretty! I guess it's too late for me to pursue being a pop-star but I really enjoy learning new dance styles so its more of a hobby ! Thank you for the encouragement though, i'll make sure to stay true to my dreams and pursue them!
Great Dance. Wow. Very impressive!
aww thanks charles! I was hesitant on posting this one as I wasn't sure what people would think. But i'm glad you liked it!
Now I want to see pictures or videos of you when you were an ickle girl, dancing and singing in the K-Pop style!
😊
I will have to dig deep and have a look to see if I can find any!
哇。好想和你一起解锁新姿势
wow... fantastic dance @sweetsssj
tee hee, thank you irawandedy!
Very talented and lovely young lady. Thanks for sharing!
Very kind, thank you! And you're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I enjoyed your dance video as much as you. I think it is a well done body art. Very steemy.
thanks frog, achievement unlocked!
I guess that this can be like Steemit's Go Daddy commercial. Has this been posted on You Tube?
Aha! That would be interesting, I actually have posted it on youtube, but it's a little hard for me to use that in China, (it's blocked, and when i use vpn, it's very slow!).
跳得不错，看来舞蹈功底很好啊！初一看还以为是哪位韩国明星呢。就是画质不太清晰，看来摄影师要进步下哈。
谢谢啦 哈哈 第一次正式录东西 可能光没有调好 下次改进：）

Excellent post
cheers jeff !
Truthfully....Your body is hot but your dancing leaves much to be desired.
Thanks , I'll do my best to improve!
Fantastic video @sweetsssj!! Followed & Upvoted!!
You are beautiful and talented, with great dance moves!
Congratulations on an amazing post!!
Have you checked out this opportunity,
https://steemit.com/steemboy/@naiahyoung/attention-steemit-steemboy-calendar-on-the-making
I would like to encourage you to send a picture for one of the remaining months.
Wow thank you for alerting me to this, that sounds like such a good idea, and thank you for the compliments, i'm still learning as always but hopefully a dance series will help keep me on my toes and improve and learn new things!
Now which month would be best mm??
Your very welcome, happy to help.
I agree, the calendar is an awesome idea.
Maybe your birth month? You pick.
Such a hot dance that we can see the Steem (logo) going up on the first picture. You certainly are in shape and putting up a good show! Especially with the shoes you are wearing which must make the moves even more difficult.
heroic15397! Thank you and thanks for noticing the heels, it was actually really hard trying to move with them.. some of these kpop stars really do make it look SO easy, but I assure you it's not!
I can believe that! Not only are they high, but they also look heavy!
恭喜創下實驗時代的新高啊!! 得空到我們小茶館裡盤旋一下？ ^__^

谢谢啦deanliu，等我来茶馆喝茶：）
Wow~~~
Thank you abit :D
Amazing moves. I'm jealous of your stretching capabilities, I have to struggle to do full splits. :p
Aha! I strangely was always able to do the splits without much trouble, I can imagine for people much stiffer it would hurt quite a bit tho! Thanks for checking it out!
I don't know the biological reason behind it, but I think it's a lil' easier for women. I'm a Martial Artist, and we have to stretch a lot to be able to kick higher and spend less energy doing it. My stretching goal is to be able to easily perform Van-Damme splits. :D
What a lovely post :D
Cheers!
Epic
