jdance primer pt i

[rhodochrosite]

i started writing up a primer on gdocs but i literally cannot keep up with jdance's rate of content production so i thought i'd just post bits onto dw as i finish them... anyway have YOU ever wanted to stan a group of charming talented lovely dancers who you know nothing about other than their stage name? who sometimes don't appear in videos for months on end and you have no way of knowing whether they're just chilling or if they've left the crew altogether? who have cute momentary interactions with one another in the background that you can flex your body language detective skills on to figure out their friendship dynamics?? if so then i have the perfect answer for you...

 

♡♡ STAN JDANCE ♡♡

 

j dance center are a korean dance crew who do kpop covers, original choreo videos, and random play dances. if you watch a few korean rpds you start noticing the same group of really good dancers and that's bc they're all from jdance. imo the best way to stan is to just watch rpds (WHICH IS SO FUN... PERFECT RELAXATION ACTIVITY) and see who you notice and then go and watch some of the covers, which are p much all labelled with names!!

i'm going to start with the first rpd, which is still my fave one:
