A.C.E choreo are always so good to watch because of the way they execute the movement. Can't wait to watch more and you're just in time to catch up with them since they'll comeback soon.
Thank you for reacting to A.C.E. Too bad UA-cam showed me your rection 9 days after you posted it even though i search for the reactions to A.C.E every day! A.C.E are soooooooooo good dancers. They are not just kpop idols who can dance, they really are dancers, all of them. They always amaze me with their abilities and not only at dancing but at singing too. Please, continue to do reactions to them. I recommend you to watch Callin' (Dance MV version), Goblin (Flash warning, but you can watch the dance practice) and Higher for the next time. But... All of A.C.E's songs are good. Just pick one you've haven't seen yet and enjoy 😊
Thank you for breaking down their dance! I love reactors that have some knowledgeable input, I learned some things. Some notes about A.C.E's roots: Their management company, Beat Interactive, was founded FOR THEM. The 5 guys were top trainees at bigger companies and Beat Int's CEO, Kim Hyeim, originally worked at the company that Yuchan & Byeongkwon were at. For whatever reason, these guys kept getting passed over for new group debuts. Kim Hyeim wanted to start her own idol management label so she scouted older trainees at the other companies. She specifically looked for the infamous "aces" among the trainees, hence the group name inspiration. The result is, A.C.E debuted at slightly older ages than most debuted idols & so they already had years of training and development of personal style as a result. They spent about a year and a half training together as a group & doing a whack-ton of busking dance performances in busy pedestrian areas before debuting (there are lots of videos of these busking days on their channel, too). And they didn't have their own studio at first, often having to rent small dance studios, without mirrors, in the wee hours of the early morning; competing for space with other smaller idol companies without studios, presumably. So they developed some pretty tight performance teamwork & also creative ways of polishing their dance ability with less resources, early on. They were slow climbers & the group, and their label has grown admirably. Beat Int. has it's own studio now & has added the viral vocal fusion group Forestella & a couple solo artists to their line-up. And A.C.E has gained a solid reputation for their high-quality performances for an idol group outside of the the "Big 4" labels. And, as a fashion design student, the Beat Int. styling & set design team is always TOP NOTCH, I must say. Kpop idols do have a rep for fashion but mannnn, Regina Suh and her team just hit different. Very creative ways of interpreting the concepts, especially back in the small budget days. And some Dance Background info (I'm not a dancer, but here's what i know from interviews, observations, etc): - Byeongkwan, W.O.W, & Junhee are the official dance-line. Donghun, Yuchan, & Junhee are the offical vocal line. Byeongkwon & W.O.W are the designated rappers. Most CHOICEs agree that all 5 of them are really amazing all-rounders tho (except Junhee & Donghun can't really rap lollll) - According to Yuchan, Byeongkwan in particular was infamous as a dance prodigy at his former company (which is no surprise, after you've watched Byeongkwan dance lol). There are clips around of him dancing up a storm when he was as young as 13. There are times when his style kind of reminds me of the late Cameron Boyce. I THINK his background is in krump??? - Yuchan has a background in breakdancing, from what I remember. - W.O.W trained in the same studio as J-Hope, back in the day. - And Junhee def has a 90's hip-hop look to the way he free-styles. - Donghun was the only member without years of dance training when the group was formed. While he had years of vocal training, he decided, relatively late, to try becoming an idol, specifically...which required him to learn dance in a shorter time-frame than most kpop trainees. His notoriety, pre-debut, was more for his amazing vocal ability. He's made leaps and bounds in his dance ability, since. Donghun, in particular, has a lyrical grace to the way he dances. I think it'd be cool to see him attempt something like a contemporary routine, some day.

Ace is such a great group! I'm so happy they came back this year.

A.C.E's dance practice for Slow Dive is a fave of mine. BK just moves different 😊
Mine as well! BK really molds so well into every style of choreography
I'd definitely recommend a.c.e's baby tonight. It's different from this style and the formations and patterns might interest you!
Man, I forgot how much I enjoyed watching you break down the dances! Thanks for this video! Best wishes to you!!!
