To her students, Dr. Meenu is more than a professor — she is a mentor, a guide, and a campus mom far away from home. ❤️ So when her students requested a dance performance, she happily said yes. Blending grace, culture, and joy, she reminded everyone that health is not just about fitness, but also about happiness, connection, and staying true to your roots. And as she twirled with a smile on her face and fire in her spirit, she proved something beautiful — age is never a limit when the heart is young, the soul carries rhythm, and the passion to inspire others never fades. ✨ Credits : minikandari97 | meenu_unofficial on IG #WomenInspiringWomen #AgeIsJustANumber #IndianCulture #DanceWithJoy #TheBetterIndia [Ghoomar Dance Performance, Inspiring Woman Professor, Age Is Just A Number, Cultural Dance Inspiration]

For new Jimin's fans (SOLO or ARMY) Do not believe the misconception that JM's dance experience is limited to ballet & contemporary only. Since the age of 10/11, Jimin has been studying hip-hop, his first love, at the renowned Just Dance Academy during middle school. His teacher even vouched for him, waiving tuition fees due to the academy's high costs, as they didn’t want to lose a student with such exceptional talent &potential. This experience might be a key reason why JM is passionate abt donating to schools to support other students. Jimin also excels in popping, locking & isolation moves and has won numerous dance competitions. The media dubbed him "The Rising Star of Busan" after his performance at the Busan Festival. In addition to hip-hop, Jimin studied ballet, traditional Korean dance, and contemporary, but his primary passion was hip-hop. Here are videos of Jimin competing in several freestyle dance competitions at a very young age. He was incredibly talented even back then!😍🔥👏👏

The Trump Dance: From SNL Skit to Cultural Phenomenon The Trump Dance has become a fixture in political rallies and sports celebrations, sending the left into fits of seething rage when they witness it. But its roots trace back to an unexpected place: a comedy skit on Saturday Night Live in April 2004. Here's how President Trump's unique dance moves evolved into the global cultural phenomenon known today as the Trump Dance. The Origin: Back in the dark ages of 2004, before liberals knew how to use their safe spaces, Donald Trump, the mastermind who would later make America great again, appeared on Saturday Night Live. In a skit called "Donald Trump's House of Wings," Trump, dressed in a suit that was more blinding than a solar eclipse, did what can only be described as the Dance of the Chicken King. The skit featured Trump dancing alongside SNL cast members dressed as chickens, performing to a parody of the Pointer Sisters' hit song "Jump." It opened with Trump uttering his now infamous line: "Cock-a-doodle-doo folks, I'm Donald Trump." This dance, characterized by side-to-side hip movements and fist-pumping, was comedic and memorable, showcasing Trump's self-deprecating humor. From Skit to Political Rally: Fast forward to Trump's presidential campaigns, particularly in 2020, where the Trump Dance took on a life of its own. At his rallies, Trump would engage in similar dance moves, especially to the Village People’s "Y.M.C.A.," which he humorously dubbed the "gay national anthem." These moments, captured and shared widely on social media, turned into a signature move, reflecting his persona of being non-conforming yet confident, much like his political style. The Sports Connection: The dance permeated popular culture when it was adopted by athletes, particularly in the NFL. Following Trump's victory in the 2024 election, players like Nick Bosa, Za'Darius Smith, and others began performing the "Trump Dance" as a celebration after significant plays during games. This trend was highlighted around November 2024, when Trump's dance moves to "Y.M.C.A." at a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, just before the election, were mimicked by athletes. After scoring, instead of the usual woke celebrations, these patriots would break into the Trump Dance, which looked like a beautiful fusion of freedom and defiance. It was like watching the Declaration of Independence being signed, but with better rhythm. These performances went viral, turning the Trump Dance into the meme that makes Democrats' blood boil. Public Reaction and Cultural Impact: The dance reflects how political figures can become part of meme culture, where actions are often detached from their original context and repurposed for entertainment or commentary. The Trump Dance elicits a range of reactions. For most, it's a source of amusement, highlighting Trump's unique charisma and dance skills. For TDS victims, it represents a polarizing figure's influence extending dangerously into areas like sports and entertainment Conclusion: The Trump Dance isn't just a cultural phenomenon. It's the troll move that keeps on giving. Whether this dance will be forgotten or will continue to haunt the nightmares of liberals, only time will tell. But for now, each time someone does the Trump Dance, they're not just celebrating. They're sticking it to the woke crowd, one fist pump at a time.

🇹🇭 SRIVIJAYA DANCE IN 1994 ก่อนลิซ่าจะรำรำศรีวิชัย ใน The White Lotus Season 3 ที่เป็นไวรัลในไทยเมื่อปีที่แล้ว ยานแม่ กบ สุวนันท์ นางเอกในตำนานของไทยก็เคยรำศรีวิชัยมาก่อนเช่นกัน #เริ่ดเลยแหละ Before Lisa performed the Srivijaya dance in The White Lotus Season 3, which went viral in Thailand last year, the queen herself, Kob Suvanant a legendary Thai leading actress had already performed it. #AbsolutelyFabulous Srivijaya dance is the second dance in the ancient dances, dating from the 13th - 18th Buddhist centuries, spanning the southern region to the territories of Malaysia and present-day Indonesia. Srivijaya dance originated in 1966 when Tunku Abdul Rahman, former Prime Minister of Malaysia, wrote the story Raja Bersiyong, which is about the Srivijaya Kingdom, and invited a Thai dance troupe to perform in this film. The Fine Arts Department organized two performances: Ram Chat Chatri and Srivijaya dance. The Srivijaya dance was given to Ms. Lamun Yamakup, an expert in teaching Thai dance, College of Dramatic Arts, Department of Fine Arts, and Ms. Chalerm Sukhawanit, an expert in teaching Thai dance, College of Dramatic Arts, Department of Fine Arts, National Artists. Performing Arts (Dance) Branch, 1987, was the creator of the dance moves. Mr. Montree Tramoth, an expert in Thai music, Fine Arts Department, National Artist in Performing Arts (Thai Music) Branch, 1985, was the composer of the melody, based on evidence from the bas-relief art at Borobudur Stupa in Java, which is believed to be from the Sailendra Dynasty, which is the same era as the Srivijaya period, built around the end of the 8th century. The composition of the melody, dance movements, and costumes were created from the characteristics that appear on the bas-relief mixed with the movements of Javanese dance, called the Srivijaya dance, and was performed for filming in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore in early February 1967. Later in 1967, the Srivijaya dance was improved, including the dance movements and some parts of the melody. To match with another set of 4 ancient dances for the public performance at the music festival at the Sangkhit Sala on 12 March 1967 and performed for His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Her Majesty Queen Sirikit to view at the opening ceremony of the exhibition of ancient artefacts in the newly built building of the National Museum, Bangkok on 25 May 1967, with Mr. Sanit Ditthaphan designing the costumes, Mrs. Chananan Changrian creating the costumes, and Mr. Chit Kaewduangyai creating the headdress and accessories. #ชุดไทยเป็นของคนไทยเท่านั้นไม่ใช่วัฒนธรรมร่วม #Thailand #ThaiCulture #ThaiHeritage Cr: The Center of Milky Way Galaxy #Claimbodia

#SEONGHWA about today's stage at the 2025 AAA ⭐️: I felt pressure because I was performing in front of someone who used to be my idol (IU), but since I prepared so hard for it, I did have confidence. But after the performance, I monitored it and in the first line I did one little pitch mistake. At least that’s how it felt for me, so… 🐶: It didn't show~! ⭐️: Yes.. I only realized it after I finished bc I was so immersed in the performance… so yeah, that’s what happened. 🐶: no but that.. ⭐️: it was a bit.. 🐶: everything's okay, it wasn't noticeable! ⭐️: I was a bit embarrassed… I felt embarrassed. 🐶: no.. it's because the members, I'm like that too, but on stage… when I go in, from the very beginning, from the intro, San is like that as well.. everyone looks at me with this sharp, cold gaze. Maybe it's because we all go in with that hyped-up and intense mood, yeah… (Reading a comment) "I was so excited because of the performance that I didn’t notice at all." ⭐️: Mm well, some people might have noticed and some might not, but still… What should I say? 🐶: But your dance break today was really cool, hyung ⭐️: I did my best. I really did my best, but I’ll make up for what was lacking today and show an even better performance tomorrow. 🐶: And today Seonghwa hyung had the center part in the dance break right? Yes, that was cool. ⭐️: Once again, after a long time... I ate well! 🐶: Yes, Seonghwa hyung practiced a lot to perfect the dance break center part. ⭐️: For Man On Fire as well.. that last part 🐶: For this stage hyung got all the dance breaks ⭐️: Oh, that's right.. The Man On Fire dance break was a genre we were doing for the first time back then, so it was a bit difficult. But as we performed it in this concert (tour), I became more familiar with it. Because of that, I think I could do it with a bit more confidence this time. 🐶: Each member has a different vibe when they take the dance center. Doesn't Seonghwa hyung have his own unique vibe? Like, restrained but still leaving that ‘killing part’ kind of vibe? ⭐️: Honestly, I’m still lacking a lot. 🐶: Oh, come on.. each member has their own dance-center vibe, but Seonghwa hyung seems to blend them all together? ⭐️: Like a chameleon, doing all sorts of different things right? 🐶: Yes yes.. that's very charming ⭐️: I really like mimicking the teachers’ dance styles too, so that’s why. Anyway, I had no regrets on stage, I had lots of fun. Also, I was happy to be able to show such a cool stage in front of ATINYs. Receiving the awards was great and it also was really good to perform on such a big stage. Personally, performing in front of seniors I admire was very meaningful. It gave me a bit more motivation. 🐶: That's right, Seonghwa hyung really respects that senior after all. ⭐️: I was so nervous.. 🐶: That’s totally understandable, I’d feel the same way in that situation.

The Lindy Hop scene in Hellzapoppin' (1941) in full color. -History Of The Lindy Hop Dance- On May 21st 1927 the Lindy Hop dance was publicly introduced to the world. The Lindy hop is an African American dance which was born in Harlem, New York City. On that date, the Lindbergh Spirit of St. Louis airplane completed the first transatlantic flight by air, the Newspaper reported “Lindy Hops the Atlantic” and the dance style adopted the headline. The dance has evolved since then with the jazz music of that time and was very popular during the swing era of the late 1930s and early 1940s. Lindy was a fusion of many dances that preceded it or were during its development but is mainly based on jazz, tap, breakaway, and Charleston. It is frequently described as a jazz dance and is a member of the swing dance family. In its development, the Lindy hop combined elements of both partnered and solo dancing by using the movements and improvisation of African dances along with the formal eight-count structure of European partner dances most clearly illustrated in the Lindy's basic step, the swing-out. In this step's open position, dancers generally connected hand-to-hand; in its closed position, leads and follows are connected as though in an embrace on one side and holding hands on the other. Lindy hop is sometimes referred to as a street dance, referring to its improvisational and social nature. On March 27, 1932, twelve-year-old Norma Miller did the Lindy hop outside the Savoy Ballroom with her friends for tips. In 1935, 15,000 people danced on Bradhurst Avenue for the second of a dance series held by the Parks Department. Between 147th and 148th street, Harlem "threw itself into the Lindy hop with abandon" as Sugar Hill residents watched from the bluffs along Edgecombe Avenue. There was renewed interest in the dance in the 1980s from American, Swedish, and British dancers and the Lindy hop is now represented by dancers and loosely affiliated grass-roots organizations globally.

🚨Don’t stop talking about Iran. Let me explain something to you. When you see Iranians dancing at the graves of their loved ones who were killed by the terrorist regime of the Islamic Republic, understand this clearly: That dance is not joy. It’s a vow of revenge. It’s blood vengeance. It’s a public promise that the killers will not get away with it. In Iranian culture, when a young life is stolen before marriage, before a future, families sometimes hold a symbolic “wedding” at the grave. They dance through tears. They clap with shaking hands. They cry and move at the same time. But don’t mistake it. That dance means: We will take back their blood. We will not forgive. We will not forget. It is a declaration of blood claim. It’s grief turning into fury. It’s mourning turning into a warning. The terrorist regime of the Islamic Republic thinks bullets end stories. But every grave they create becomes a promise — that justice, one way or another, will come. And when an entire nation starts dancing like that at graves, it means something much bigger is coming.

#JUWON DANCE LIVE 🐯: i’m honestly not confident but i’ll do my best. also, the reason why i couldn’t do this although i’ve said for a while now that i wanted to do this (dance live) was actually because i’m scared. because i’m the type who regrets a lot when i’m not satisfied with my performance so i thought “ah what if i end up regretting this live later on?”. tbh, even until a moment ago i was feeling a bit down and worrying a lot. but the hyungs gave me a lot of encouragement. JL-hyung told me “hey, this isn’t a competition with anyone, just go have fun with fohas and go for it” and so i thought “that’s right! this isn’t a competition. i should just go and enjoy it!” and that why i’m here and started this live. steven and daisuke also encouraged him to do this live :(( i love that they’re always there for each other. 🥹💗 #AHOF #주원 #아홉

“Billie Jean” is from Michael Jackson’s 1982 album Thriller, but the performance that permanently transformed the song into a cultural phenomenon came at the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever television special, recorded on March 25, 1983. Michael, only 24 at the time, was initially reluctant to participate but eventually agreed after Motown founder Berry Gordy and the show's producers persuaded him to take part. He chose “Billie Jean” to showcase his new artistic identity rather than simply revisit the Jackson 5 material that had made him famous. Michael's performance combined precise choreography, his distinctive vocal style and a dazzling stage presence, culminating in his now-legendary moonwalk during the song's performance. The move itself had existed in various forms before Michael adopted it, but he had learned and refined his version with dancers including Jeffrey Daniel, turning it into one of the most recognizable dance moves in pop culture. When Motown 25 aired on May 16, 1983, it attracted more than 47 million viewers in the US.

[UPDATE] The choreographers of “That’s a No No” praised #YUNA’s dance skills in a recent interview ✨ 👤: Honestly, with Yuna, it feels like her physique and visuals already do all the work. Even if she’s just standing still, she’s the best 👤: That’s why whenever we work on her songs or choreography, we’re like: “This beautiful face… we have to show it off” 👤: It’s not even our own face, but we just want to showcase it so much 👤: And Yuna herself does such an amazing job. There are so many great dancers in the group, but now that she’s debuted as a soloist, it really shows. Her fundamentals are so solid and she dances incredibly well!

So many times the views from the International Space Station cupola give us pause as we absorb the indescribable beauty in front of us. A time lapse of a rich star field cascading down and peeking through the Earth’s translucent upper atmosphere several weeks ago was just such a moment. Soak in the visual beauty but also sit with the moving original score “Satellite Dance” that my friend, Chicago based guitarist, Thomas Clippert composed for this video. His performance is magical. Enjoy. PS: Look for a collection of brighter objects dancing horizontally across the frame near the end of the video. These are satellites catching the sun’s rays as they orbit the Earth.

This is the thing I love most about having this page. I’m a curious mind, and every day I learn something new with you while putting these posts together. Today I fell into a fascinating discovery: the Apsara Dance, Cambodia’s most sacred and iconic art form. And here’s where it gets really interesting. Its origins go all the way back to the 7th century, when apsaras were carved into temple bas‑reliefs. For centuries, the dance was a royal court ritual, performed only for kings as a spiritual offering. During the Khmer Rouge era, the tradition almost disappeared. 90% of classical dancers were killed, but the few who survived rebuilt everything from memory in the 1980s. Their work saved a piece of Cambodia’s soul, and today the Apsara Dance is officially recognized as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The dance is part of the Royal Ballet of Cambodia, performed by women whose slow, fluid gestures tell stories from classical myths and religious epics. And those movements? Extremely slow, insanely precise, with fingers bent backward into shapes that feel unreal. Seriously, zoom in! I think they have double joints because mine definitely don’t bend like that :) The dancers represent apsaras, celestial nymphs from Hindu and Buddhist mythology, the same figures carved by the thousands on the walls of Angkor Wat. The whole performance feels like a living echo of those ancient reliefs, a direct line between modern Cambodia and its Angkorian past. So very fascinating!!
