Taiji is Chinese. Lay got inspiration from Chinese ancient cave paining from Mogao Cave.
Dong means east.
If possible check out the Indian Dance groups...recently many have outshined on western shows...Go for 'Kings United' in the world of dance 2019 , also V unbeatable from Americas got talent
The real reason why the MV wasnt released was because Lay just simply didnt like the MV. So he decided to just release a visualiser and dance practice L M A O + the choreo is mostly combination of Chinese classical dance and hip-hop
What i like n respect about him is he tries to bring new style of dance or choreo everytime with unique ingredients... I mean most idols who r good in dance generally do the same kind of choreos that has clicked or is easily popular but he never is afraid of experimenting n exploring new things.. its like we get to learn new things with him as well. And he is trying hard to establish a trademark style of his own instead of following the already tried n tasted path which the audience is comfortable with
As you know, Lay is an ambassador for China so one of his goals is to share Chinese culture with the world. One way he is doing this is by creating his own style of music which he has labeled M-pop. M-Pop stands for Mixed-pop, which means he mixes traditional Chinese elements and sounds with mainstream pop and hip-hop beats and styles -- combining old school Chinese culture with new modern hip-hop and contemporary beats and styles.
Lay is a singer, rapper, songwriter, composer, producer actor, director, editor, dancer, designer, etc. -- genius -- and with every new release of his, he just one ups himself. When it comes to Lay's solo work he does it all -- he writes, composes and produces the songs (including the rap sections), he even creates all his own beats, he has a large part in creating the choreography and he has a hand in coming up with and directing the MVs. It is also all financed by him. As you may know, he even owns his own production company called Zhangyixing Studios, which is named after Lay.
The choreography for "Flying Apsaras" has also been designed to highlight Chinese culture by using a lot of traditionally Chinese dance moves and styles. And the choreographer that Lay worked with was a member of his team from the dance competition show that Lay was a team captain on called Street Dance of China season 4.
As you might know, Lay is the Chinese member of EXO and he was originally meant to fill the same role in EXO-M -- the Mandarin Chinese sub-unit of EXO -- that Kai fills in EXO-K -- the Korean sub-unit of EXO. Kai is one of the top two BEST dancers in Korea (Taemin from SHINee being the other top dancer) and Lay is one of the top dancers in China.
Lay's catchphrase is "Balance" which means that when it comes to choreography and synchronization it has to have balance. If it's not balanced then it's not good. So his attention to detail when he creates music and choreography is on point. Like all of SM's top dancers, Lay is super dedicated when it comes to dance and music.
Within the Chinese music industry and dance community, Lay is regarded as an industry expert that pretty much all other dancers and musicians look up to. He has even started his own Idol trainee company in China -- with SM's blessing -- called Chromasome where he plans to use his talents to influence the world entertainment industry and to pass his skills and knowledge on to the next generation, etc.
When Lay puts his mind to something he goes all in and immerses himself in it with a goal of becoming the best at it. That is why he is regarded as an expert at so many different things, because he becomes so involved and studies and practices so much that he eventually overtakes his teachers.
Lay is a perfectionist and he is never satisfied unless everything is as close to perfect as possible, which is why we don't have an MV for "Flying Apsaras" yet. He wasn't happy with the final product. His new album -- which is the album "Flying Apsaras" is on -- is called East.This is also why Lay is involved in all aspects of his music. He takes pride in the fact that all parts of his work is done by him, so he wants it to be perfect because it's his reputation that's on the line if things aren't up to his standard.
Fun fact: I believe the dragon you see the visualizer is connected to the dragon we see in Lay's previous MV, "Lit."
Lay is so much crazy for his rich culture. This excites him the most. He is too much rooted in his culture. Love from India🇮🇳
that was also part of ancient Indian culture.
@@boeyoungdior9427 ya, you are true. "APSARA" is a sanskrit word. But many indian words traveled to china with Buddhist religion. That's why China has an Indian influence.
@@LoveYourself-ve2jf Many elements of this dance are inspired by wallpaper portraits of Chinese Buddhism, just like the Thousand-hand Guanyin dance.Maybe some movements are related to ancient Hinduism
@@jackzhou4813 hmmm.
And there's also another song that is samadhi real fire samadhi is also Hindi and Sanskrit word
ZHANG YIXING is in his own league!! The standard that he's setting as an idol producer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The choreo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Lay is called king of china for a reason
This style of DunHuang dance was from the Sui & mainly Tang Dynasties of China. Dance & art at the time had heavy Buddhist influences. Lay filmed his MV at the DunHuang Caves where there's ancient paintings of Divine Fairies (Dancing Apsaras).
HuangXiao (Ziv), a Classical Chinese dancer from SDC3/4, choreographed this MV for Lay.
The Flying Apsaras, or Feitian in Mandarin, are often considered a symbol of the Mogao Grottoes. They refer to a spiritual being in Hindu and Buddhist culture with an image of a beautiful female. (source: google) You can see this in the MV too. Apart from his reference to Monkey King in the MV which also explains one of his other track titled Samadhi Real Fire (三昧眞火).
Also, there's a dance of the same name that started in the 1930s that is why you see this seemingly contemporary folk dance paired with the modern wacking dance.
The EP called East is still align with Lay's advocacy to bring Chinese music to the world. Hope you can check the other 4 tracks in the song. He has several live performances for Ascetic Monk and Flying Apsaras which you can watch in his channel.
Definitely the best choreography of 2021!!
it’s mesmerizing and satisfying ✨
"Apsara" is a sanskrit word, and this word traveled to China with the Buddhist religion.
If you are a fan of SDC s3 and s4 you will absolutely understand everything behind this. It influences the OG chinese culture dance moves with present touch to it. LAY styles always has a chinese story and culture attached that he wants to promote it through his music and encourage everyone to learn more.
This dance is so original and dope, it creates an imagination where Chinese Buddhism dancing meets pop music in harmony
This dance practice is art, the Flying Apsaras visualizer is art, Lay is art himself!
I really loved this choreo. Even though Lay is trained in K-pop he always mixes traditional dance form into contemporary dance moves. The whole group dance becomes so attractive.
Lay never fail to use his art to brow my mind. My boy
I loved many of dances and dancers, but lay is different, he is inspiring me in every little movement.. And this is the best dance practice i've ever seen, it's simple yet strong
It's seems like inspired by Indian classical dance .Apsara means dancing divas in heaven according to Indian mythology .MDT of the dance movements are similar to Indian dance movements
Lay’s born and grew up in China and the dance was actually inspired by Chinese Dunhuang murals called the Flying Apsara. Dunhuang was major city on the ancient Silk Road and some of the paintings and caves are related to Buddhist stories so maybe that’s why it looks similar to Indian dance
Many elements of this dance are inspired by wallpaper portraits of Chinese Buddhism, just like the Thousand-hand Guanyin dance.Maybe some movements are related to ancient Hinduism，In fact, ancient India is a treasure, and now you Indians should dig and re-integrate modern style elements for packaging innovation, just like this dance. Only in this way can your ancient Indian culture be liked by modern people
Lay always wants to introduce Chinese culture to the world and he actually did it!!!!!Chore inspired by Dunhuang frescoes from ancient Chinese art history and lyrics with lots of elements from ancient legends.
There’ve been several stages coming out and highly recommending that Dec 31 stage!!! White outfit finely match with the theme.
I wonder if you guys have seen Lay's SHEEP music video(Alan Walker relift) ..if not, then please check that out......the world is sleeping on this masterpiece, I can't-
I have high respect to this gorgeous talented boy. He deserved more love and attention. I love that he incorporated Chinese traditional element into his songs.
agree, the best one! just jawdropping
For us Chinese people the lotus flower symbolize a lot both culturally and religiously, so I think many of the formation in the dance refers to the lotus shape for that reason. I'm Chinese growing up in Canada but I'm really into what my culture offers to me so I'm pretty sure this is about 敦煌DunHuang(I believe that's where he was in the mv, the part where it shows a big mural and statue of Buddha)，which is a city in China that holds a lot of historical monuments. One of the most famous one is the Mogao cave (or the thousand Buddha grottoes, is a form of 500-700 small Buddhists cave dug out of the mountain which housed more than 2000 Buddha sculptures) and it's DunHuang frescoes or DunHuang murals, it resembles a series of murals about Buddhism, history and stories that stretches over 50,000 square meters of wall area。 From it one of the most commonly seen mural art is about the flying apsaras, there are more than 4500 flying apasaras painted within the mogao caves。The flying apasaras are incarnations of heavenly gods in Buddhism, and their role is to play music and dance for Buddha. you can look it up some pictures if you are interested, you might spot some apasaras holding a similar position as what Lay did here. Also some of the murals were over 1600 years old! I hope that's some useful information for those who wonder what this song is about! (*^▽^*)
Apsara is a Sanskrit word for the celestial Dancers in the heavenly world. From Indian literature.
Ancient China absorbed a lot of ancient Indian culture and inherited it into China's own unique culture, just like ancient Japan absorbed ancient Chinese culture, and now Japan has inherited it and become Japan's iconic culture (such as the ninja tea ceremony). )
Lay : balance
Lay always create artistic songs and dance and cinematic mv. Super talented.
Glad to see that you guys enjoy Flying Apsaras! As some just disregard it because it doesn't seem 'powerful' like fast and hard choreo. Flying Apsaras requires such power and control to execute it properly. Yixing is just crazy. He never plays when it comes to his art.
Lay just so freaking awesome with his choreography and visual of the song. He always share a perfection side of him n his music
He is ART
Indeed this is the best and epic dance practice ever. Hope more people get to see this !
Thanks for this reaction video. Lay only produced best works.
💜Lay Zhang👑👑👑
This dance is based on the mural movements in China's Dunhuang culture
I’ve watched this a multitude times and still get chills. His mind must be a wonderful place to be❣️
The best dance choreography ever 😌 That visualizer alone is the best video I've ever seen last year... imagine if he released it...!!! Obviously Lay is a perfectionist and it might have not turned out as he wanted it exactly but even then that visualizer is like an epic movie trailer in itself. East is one of my favourite album from him❤️
Please react lay's live performance.
many of them is best performance
KING A FREAKING KING
Thank you so much for giving time to give review for Yixing's Flying Apsaras dance practice. I agree that this is definitely one of the best, if not the best, dance practice you can ever see. Yixing, or Lay as known by majority, has always gives his best to every thing he does because we can see he puts his heart in it. I do hope more people will be able to appreciate his amazing works.
Isnt Apsara an Indian name. Kungfu originated in India by Buddist Monk. The dance influence is so Indian, even the chants, see the mudras...
Many elements of this dance are inspired by wallpaper portraits of Chinese Buddhism, just like the Thousand-hand Guanyin dance.Maybe some movements are related to ancient Hinduism，In fact, ancient India is a treasure, and now you Indians should dig and re-integrate modern style elements for packaging innovation, just like this dance.

YASSSS THE KINGGGGGG
Please check out Lay's new MV called VEIL. He has an English and Chinese version for the song.
up
up主能多re艺兴的大航海演唱会嗎？一定不会失望的！！听觉视觉盛宴！！！謝了哈！❤🎉
I read that he wasn't happy with the MV he produced so he choose not to release it. He is a perfectionist. If you ever watch him judge dance/singing shows, he is very critical, but still trying to help the person/group. I would think all of this dance is Chinese referenced and from way back in time. The movements certainly have to be his inspiration. I absolutely love Lay and miss him in EXO. I think he is just amazing!!! ❤❤❤
14:00 SAME!!
About the influence, it’s probably influenced by the flying apsaras like the title implies. You can search on UA-cam, there’s quite a lot of Chinese dances inspired by the flying apsaras(aka. Feitian) like depicted in the dunhuang caves we see in the visualizer.
Lay has only one request and it's to defeat him... good luck!
As for the dance practice, that girl wearing black beanie has caught my eyes since the beginning and I can't stop looking at her. She's so fresh!
It is the best, ty :)
Lay dropped his new full English album STEP recently and the title song Step MV is out now. Check it out ❤ Looking forward to your reaction video ❤❤❤
Finally you react to this... I waited when the dance practice release especially that you react early to LIT.
Love the combination of your makeup and the white earring...
LAY ZHANG
Lay just raised the bar so high
The dance is: Chinese culture + Hip hop + waking(that he learned from ibuki and ice)
Wow that was interesting😍
哈哈哈哈！ 姐姐可以出表情包了唷😊
Lay: the king
Why do im hearing the LIT and the GLUTTONY mix and mashup instruments..
Lay just released a new song named jiu
its about chinese mythology and divinities i guess since Lay mentionned Chang E who is the Moon Goddess in chinese mythology and doing the Shiva stance would be like nepalese buddhism
