Q&A for How to Dance K‐Pop

Auditions occur worldwide, primarily in populated areas of Asia, Australia, and the USA. You should learn Korean and train diligently, especially in dance, as judges expect high-level performances against many competitors. Always be polite; K-Pop idols are expected to be role models. Prepare for rejection, as very few are accepted.

Of course you can. Covering dances is all about making it your own style, and your gender shouldn't stop you from dancing certain dances. Dance however makes you happy.

Yes, you should continue to practice it so that you don't lose the skills you've mastered or forget moves.

Sometimes no one is leading it and they all work together. Maybe that's what's happening.

The K-Pop industry rarely forms or promotes mixed-gender groups, so joining a boy band like BTS would be highly unusual. Furthermore, new trainees require extensive training, and established groups such as BTS almost never add new members.

You can dance like Lisa by diligently practicing and observing. Watch her videos to learn her movements, and remember that her exceptional skill comes from extensive training, so don't get discouraged.

To fit K-Pop dance into your schedule, consider practicing in short, consistent bursts after school or dedicating specific time slots during the weekends.

You can make a clip of your dance or song and send it to a company. Visit the company's site and find out if they accept clips.There are many companies that hire trainees.

Try watching the dance rehearsal instead, as it shows more dance. Then try to focus on only one member instead, and go with the dance if they do something different. I personally learned the entire dance to Boombayah, and I did that through following the fan-made Just Dance version by Redoo!

Try to forget that the people are there. You can also keep practicing, and it will get easier over time.

Just observe how they dance and practice all you can.

Trust me, many people have this problem. Try dancing in your room or outside where no one can see you. If you want to eventually get comfortable dancing in front of people, try having a dance party with just a friend or two, and then gradually work your way up to including more people. Dancing is supposed to be fun, no one will judge you, and if they do, they're not a good friend!

No, this will be very unlikely unless you are a well known Korean (to-be) idol/an amazingly, talented foreign (to-be) idol who has been been training for years. You need a whole crew to create an agency for yourself (only). And also, remember; becoming a K-pop idol requires time, attention, patience, and effort. Don't waste yours or other people's time if you don't meet the standards for a Korean idol.

It takes around 2 week to learn the dance if you practice every day. For me, the part that takes a lot is the cleaning process of the dance.

Yes, you absolutely can. Dance is an art form about expression, and there are no gendered restrictions on who can perform specific styles or routines. Focus on mastering the movements that inspire you.

Try finding a dance that's calmer, and keep your inhaler nearby (if you have one). Don't push yourself too hard, your health is the most important thing. Try dancing to something like "Silver Spoon," it's super easy.

Tutorial videos usually include slow versions (like RPM Crew on YT), but if you want to make it slow, try downloading a video editing app and editing the speed.

There is no set number of times you need to replay it, just focus on one section of the song at a time and play each section as many times as needed. Once you have one section down, move on to the next, and so on. Then put all the sections together and practice the whole dance.

Try and watch the dance practice so you can focus on the main dancers (like Taeyong or Yuta).

A K-Pop idol, her name is Ros'e and is from the group Blackpink. She lived in Melbourne, Australia and auditioned there, so yes it is possible. Choose which company you want to audition for and see if they are holding auditions in your area, then attend the audition with your K-Pop routine.

Many K-pop dances involve a lot of complicated choreography, but you can make it easier for you to learn by choosing a dance that you really like. If you're interested in it, you'll stick with it and put in the work it takes to learn the moves. Think of a dance you really like and look up a tutorial online explaining how to do the dance moves. If it helps, you can watch the video at half speed so you can see them better. No matter what dance you choose, it takes practice to get it down well.

K-pop music is energetic and fast-paced, and the dances are full of high-energy moves. If you do enough K-pop dances, you'll definitely get a great cardio workout, which will cause you to lose weight if you also have a healthy diet. If dancing is a fun way for you to exercise, then go for it!

K-pop dances are full of complicated choreography and tempos that change often, so there is a lot of movement to learn and memorize. It will definitely take you at least 5-6 practice sessions before you really nail a dance. Find a good video tutorial that breaks down the dance moves, and practice often to get better and better at them.
