Danspirations

I obviously like a bunch of dance videos on Youtube since I search for inspiration every so often, but there are only a select few videos that I always find myself coming back to because they're just so darned amazing. They're all by Ellen Kim, Kyle Hanagami, and Aye Hasegawa, who are my all-time favorite dancers; I also attended a workshop taught by Aye, and it was so much fun! Now, if only I can learn from Ellen and Kyle...............


I have no words for this video. I can't. No. This is my absolute favorite piece from Ellen, or from my other favorite dancers really; I really like the choreography, videography, and the fact that she always hits with such power, which is one of the main reasons why I like Ellen so much, but I truly love the concept, the "Am I perfect now?" subtext always brings me chills for some reason. Gah, I don't even know what else to say, you should watch it!


This video comes in a close second to "You'll Find a Way" because I can honestly feel the emotions that Kyle and Gracie showed through the dance. I've always loved the fact that Kyle is such a versatile dancer, and he always manages to not dance to the music, but instead, he becomes one with it while he moves........do you get what I mean? He's just amazing; this video actually got me hooked to the song, so watch it!


Aye's choreography in this video doesn't particularly spark me the way the other two videos did, but I simply love how her hits are so clean! Like how. How. Going to her workshop and learning from her was just a wonderful experience. I really don't have anything else to say. No. I'm having a bad day communicating today......so just watch the video!

If for whatever reason you'd like to see the playlist of all of my favorite dance videos, then click here.

I'll see you in the next post!
