    To those complaining about the audience.
    As a dancer, the feeling of being on stage absolutely killing it when you can hear the audience going crazy does nothing BUT give you the energy to absolutely go full out! It's all about the support!

    • @tmarie23
      @tmarie23 5 років тому +105

      Thats totally true! I danced in elementary and middle school and the audience always helped me calm down from being nervous and boosted my adrenaline. It's amazing hearing the audience, it helps a lot.

      i understand what your saying but there is a wrong and right way to do it and this is wrong. im also a dance have been for 15 years i feel it especially disrespectful to the dancers and the message of the dance that the choreographer is trying to show by having people screaming at the beginning and throughout a number. i feel at the end of the dance the audience should express their opinions of the number by clapping and maybe shouting some encouragement but take in the dance first don't ruin the whole experience of the number. just my thoughts.

      stylemeupgood dance like this deserves to be cheered on. If it was a show piece then maybe it would be different but this is a competition so all the crowd hype is actually really helpful and encouraging.

    I hate it when dance videos like this get so viral because the uneducated masses start complaining about the audience but what they dont understand is the audience's cheers is the fuel to the performance. It energizes the dancers and hypes them up and it is a show of admiration and respect no matter what dance style rather than what most of you think of as disrespectful. Just my thoughts

    • @Pavan3514
      @Pavan3514 9 років тому +42

      Michael Robles I agree with you. It just comes to show how moved the audience is aswell. The whole energy, the whole presence, the whole dance is felt equally among the dancers and audience. They are part of the dance I feel; That power and the emotion in this run extremely high, which is why it is such an amazing performance.

    • @nicholaslai3614

      Michael Robles I get that people were hyped about this AMAZING choreography, but for me the screaming was ABIT too much. When I'm on stage, I love hearing the crowd, but when dancing a piece like this, I'm more of the kinda guy that goes completely silent because of how moved I am of the choreography.

    This is the best performance I have ever seen. I have been to many dance competitions because I am a dancer, and also many performances, but I have never seen anything as incredible as that. Just think about the choreographer, who choreographed an almost 8 minute long piece, and the dancers, who didn't quit, didn't mess up, and put so so so much hard work and effort into it. This is a masterpiece.

    I love this. I was in an orphanage. It was the loneliest thing I’ve felt. Yet my happiest. In an orphanage. It’s like having tons of brothers and sisters. Some are mean and some are there for you. When you’re at your most vulnerable, they come to help you. This made me cry because it reminded me of all the wonderful people I met in there. It was exactly like this dance. Crazy, sad, yet happy.

I hope you're doing better now :) even if you're not, that's perfectly fine! Wishing all the best for you, and the many others who've had went through the same/similar experiences, and may God bless you

This is what happens at every dance competition, it's part of the atmosphere, if you want a homage to dance in a silent room go watch cookies in one of their videos. If you actually go to one of these competitions live, you'll learn just how amazing it is, and how much name dropping can really uplift the performers.

    Absolutely incredible performance! Thank you Cookies!
    Personal Highlights:
    1:06 - I love how the opening resembles a painting or the beginning of a play. Everyone has a unique pose.
    1:35 - The hide and seek moment is adorable. Everyone is so in character.
    2:52 - The blankets are used so well to communicate the emotion of this set. One of the many "wow" moments.
    3:27 - The hands reaching out from the blankets. The pounding effect on the blankets following the beat of the song.
    3:47 - My second big "wow" moment. That blanket toss!
    4:10 - Extremely stunning blocking.
    5:40 - The blocking, transitions, everything in this sequence is beautiful and heartbreaking.
    6:44 - This last sequence, and the choreography throughout this set, is remarkable because you can see the intensity, emotion, and the love of dance in every dancer on the stage.

    • @AldenBunagCDAD
      @AldenBunagCDAD 9 років тому +4

      Agreed with everything you said and one thing I thought was neat was that I almost saw no bucket running. As an aspiring choreographer, one restriction I've placed upon myself was to NEVER use bucket running as a transition since it makes you think creatively of how to transition your sets.

    • @pnoipr8
      @pnoipr8 9 років тому +10

      during the very last scene where they are all posing like a painting, and another dancer joins them at the end, does it imply the addition of an orphan everyday? if so, oh my God!! So out of the box, and without an happy ending because the problem is still out there.

    • @leosuzuki440
      @leosuzuki440 Рік тому +1

      I agree. And I'm a freestyle battler that rarely enjoys watching group choreography, but something about this feels like more than just a dance piece-- it's theatrical, vocal, somewhat poetic, and yet, I can still see the technique and painful hours of practice within their movements. This performance is truly unbelievable.

I didn't notice when suddenly my tears fall in my eyes. I swear I really did not see that coming. I was really move not by the song but how they interpret the message through there passion on dancing. Hope and wishing to be part of there crew but i'm to far from this dream.

    can we take a moment to appreciate:
    the terrific choreographer(s) and that beautiful choreography and also for being able to choreograph so many people so well. wow.
    the incredibly talented dancers that not only executed this choreography so well and so full of feeling, they coordinated soooo well, they were so many people yet they danced as if they were one and it was so beautiful
    and the AMAZING crow for being so supportive and so energetic, it is so wonderful when a crowd is just to supportive and hypes the dancers it just makes the choreography so much more energized

    That "FRONT ROW VIEW" is going to have me glued to my computer when they release it... I just can't even imagine how amazing it must have been live. I have much respect for all dancers in Cookies because through out the entire piece they ALL are giving 110% to share with the audience. And you can tell just by their facials, the energy, the love, and their passion for this art. Im watching this on my computer and I got goose bumps. Like C'mon, how performances can do that. I even shed a few tears.. I hope to one day share the stage with Cookies and hopefully dance a long side them in the future. Thank you Cookies for sharing your love from dance with the world :)

    Such an amazing performance and I was blessed to watch this live. Please understand that while some performances such as ballet or contemporary dances, it is common etiquette to be silent as an audience, this community thrives on the verbal response of the audience. Being on a collegiate dance team, we are taught to cheer on our team mates and other dance teams. We feed off the audience's applause and it makes us perform more passionately. We love hearing the crowd go wild. I agree they could have been silent for the prologue, but during the dance itself, it gives an amazing feeling to the dancers to know that the audience is enjoying the performance. Once again, amazing amazing job Cookies! You will never cease to impress and inspire..

  • @orangeystrawberry
    @orangeystrawberry 6 років тому +39

    My all-time favorite choreo. I don't think anything will ever top this piece in my lifetime.
    In response to what many are complaining about in regards to the audience being loud:
    I think what a lot of people don't understand is that this is just how the hip hop community is...? Like yeah with other dance styles, it's considered respectful to be quiet through a performance but for hip hop dances and competitions in general, the audience is a huge part of the performance. It's considered rude to NOT scream in support. That means you don't like the performance. Hip hop is a style from the streets. A style from and for the masses. You can't compare it to studio styles.

    I really like this dance. All the dances that win at competitions have turns and leaps and tricks, but this highlights what the core of dance is about. It brings out the emotion in people to portray a message through movement. I don’t care how many turns you can do, or if you can do a million flips, I want to feel and understand the story you are dancing. Props to them for showing that dance is so much more than people think.
