This would be pretty typical for a Star Trek convention, too. The actors use the captive audience to do what they wish they were known for rather than what they’re actually known for.

The Berry Brothers, the sensational flash tap and acrobatics dance team that found fame in nightclubs, stage and film, comprised three blood brothers, Ananias, James, and Warren. Encouraged by their mother, they perfected their unique dance style from from the eccentric dancer Henry Wessels, who game them their only formal lessons. Their father, who was an extremely religious man and did not at first approve of their performance aspirations, eventually relented and taught them the Cake Walk and the Prancing Strut. In 1925, after the family made its way to the West Coast and settled in Hollywood, Ananias and James entered an amateur dance contest, billed as “A Miniature Williams and Walker.” Jimmy danced at parties given by such reigning silent movie stars as Mary Pickford and Clara Bow, and landed a job on the Our Gang comedies. They were a very acrobatic soft shoe dance trio. They had a dance off with the Nicholas Brothers in 1938 in the Cotton Club and by some accounts, they were more flashy but the Nicholas Brothers were better crowd pleasers overall. James Berry famously did his "butt spin", predecessor to the backspin. We can see him in The Spirit Moves documentary doing it during a Blues dance demonstration. It's not shocking that some of these flash dancers had hip problems later in life. The Brothers performed for over 30 years together were two of them unfortunately passed away before they were 55. Warren, the youngest, lived on until he was 74.

🎥 Zhou Yixuan shared some stories from the time of UNIQ’s (#WangYibo’s Kpop group) training with YG Entertainment. He has mentioned that UNIQ frequently bonds with iKON and WINNER. “When we trained with YG, our practice room was next to iKON and WINNER. Practice Room Arrangement: WINNER - iKON - UNIQ. We went to each other’s practice room and often welcomed. We have to perform a dance as part of month-end review. After the dance, we were trying to be expressionless on the outside, but, we looked at each other and all I could thought was ‘damn, so awesome!!’ You know that feeling powerful, right? So we practiced very hard at that time. During the group dance practice, we didn’t go back to the dormitory until two or three in the morning. When the evaluation was over, the boss nodded and said, ‘Wow, that’s really good.’ The famous dance evaluation performance is one of our finished pieces from around the time when we were about to debut. iKON’s Bobby and WINNER’s Song Mino, since they are both rappers, they are pretty close. And they often come to UNIQ’s practice room. Then everyone grabbed a microphone and started singing the rap they’d written recently along with the backing track. Even though we couldn’t understand each other because we are rapping in Chinese, while they sing in Korean, but we were all just hanging out together, and it was just a really fun time. That was really fun and wonderful time.”

Tibetan Butter Churning Dance, a traditional folk performance that honors the daily, labor-intensive process of making yak butter, a crucial element of Tibetan life. Originating from daily household chores, the dance mimics rhythmic churning motions, symbolizing prosperity, unity, and communal joy, often performed during festivities like Losar... The dance stems from the traditional method of making yak butter using a long wooden churn, a task requiring thousands of strokes. Yak butter is not only food but also used for fuel and in butter lamps at monasteries to symbolize wisdom. Dancers in colorful attire, often in a circle, use choreographed, energetic movements to simulate the pushing and pulling of the plunger in a butter churn. It is widely performed during the Tibetan New Year (Losar) and other celebrations, representing gratitude and the preservation of culture. It represents the blending of daily survival with art, focusing on community spirit and harmony. Yak butter is essential for making traditional Tibetan Butter Tea, made from tea leaves, yak butter, water, tsampa (roasted barley flour) and salt. The history of tea in Tibet dates back to 7th Century CE, during Tang dynasty. However, butter tea did not become popular in Tibet until about 13th Century, time of the Phagmodrupa dynasty. According to legend, a Chinese princess married a king of Tibet which later helped establish trade routes between China and Tibet. These trade routes brought tea into Tibet from China. Later, butter was added to the tea that was brought from China as butter is and was a staple in Tibetan cuisine. By the 8th Century, it was common to drink tea in Tibet. In 13th Century, tea was then used in Tibetan religious ceremonies. Today, butter tea is still prevalent in Tibet, and Tibetans can drink up to 60 small cups of the tea every day. Today, this ceremonial dance based off of Tibetan tea culture. It also may speak to the lesser known Butter Tea Ceremony. While the ceremony is rarely practiced anymore it still takes place in a handful of monasteries, including one in Gomar Gompa in eastern Amdo (“Butter Tea Ceremony”). While the ceremony is not widely spread, it is still an important ritual for some Tibetans. During the ceremony, Tibetans gather in the courtyard while the tea is being prepared. Local boys often stand on the edge of roofs surrounding the courtyard and throw down bags of candy and treats, although this is not necessarily part of the ritual. Once the tea is ready, wooden buckets of butter tea are carried into the courtyard by back, each bucket holding nearly 30 liters of tea. Once the buckets are placed on the ground, individuals use ladles to distribute the butter tea to members of the community. This particular dance is so interesting because it seamlessly integrates these three practices in a modern context. The act of dancing is in itself a ritualized and sacred practice. Thus, creating a dance based on the preparation and uses of Butter Tea—a quintessential element of Tibetan culture—only further heightens the significance of tea customs by ritualizing the practice by means of dance. Drinking butter tea is a regular part of Tibetan life. Before work, a Tibetan will typically enjoy several bowlfuls of this beverage, and it is always served to guests.[citation needed] Since butter is the main ingredient, butter tea provides plenty of caloric energy and is particularly suited to high altitudes. The butter may also help prevent chapped lips. According to the Tibetan custom, butter tea is drunk in separate sips, and after each sip, the host refills the bowl to the brim. Thus, the guest never drains his bowl; it is constantly topped up. If the visitor does not wish to drink, the best thing to do is leave the tea untouched until the time comes to leave and then drain the bowl. In this way, etiquette is observed and the host will not be offended. © Discover Tibet #archaeohistories

The Caribbean is the best preserver of African and Indigenous culture. Here are a few cultural traditions in the Caribbean and a brief description of them: 1.Shortknee (Grenada): Performers in colorful costumes with mirrors and beads cover their faces in white powder, carrying jungle bells or bell attached around ankles Rooted in African masking traditions, it blends African and French influences, using chants for social commentary and reflecting African spiritual practices. 2.Sensay (Dominica): Masqueraders wear shaggy costumes from ropes and animal skins, dancing dynamically with whips or sticks. 3.Shaggy Bear (Barbados): Covered in frayed fabric, performers mimic wild, ghostly movements. It draws from African animalistic masquerades, symbolizing power and using dramatic performance to channel protective spirits. 4.Bélé Dance ( Martinique, Dominica, St. Lucia, Grenada & St. Vincent, many other names in different countries ): This rhythmic dance features drumming and call-and-response singing, emphasizing fluid footwork. Originating from African fertility dances, it served as social expression and cultural preservation among enslaved Africans. 5.Big Drum Dance (Carriacou, Grenada): Featuring drumming and dances representing different African nations, it’s performed at weddings and funerals. It preserves African ethnic identities and serves as a living archive of ancestral traditions in the Caribbean. 6.Jab Jab (Grenada, Trinidad & Tobago): Performers covered in black oil or molasses carry chains or whips, embodying a devilish figure. The tradition reflects African warrior dances and symbolizes defiance against colonial oppression, transforming the “devil” into a symbol of resistance. 7.Bwa Bwa or Moko Jumbie (Dominica, St. Lucia, Grenada, Trinidad & Tobago, Virgin Islands): Stilt-walkers in elaborate costumes perform high above the crowd, representing protective spirits. The practice originates from West African “Moko” spirits, embodying resilience and serving as cultural guardians in Caribbean festivals. 🎥: directorethxn

#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.

Canadian doctors performed a full choreographed hip-hop dance INSIDE the official COP30 plenary in Brazil — demanding the world immediately “phase out all fossil fuels now.” White coats, beats, and “health justice” lyrics on the official UN stage. Meanwhile, literally 72 hours before COP30 started, Bill Gates dropped his blunt pre-summit letter to world leaders: “We have to stop pretending we can get to zero with today’s technology. It’s not going to happen.” He called for a total strategic reset toward poverty, adaptation, and innovation instead of suicidal timelines. Hard numbers that don’t care about dance moves: - IEA Net Zero 2050 pathway: close ~2,000 large fossil power plants EVERY YEAR from today + invest $5.7 TRILLION annually (more than the entire EU budget). - Global oil demand: new all-time record in 2024, still rising. - China 2024: 94 GW new coal approved — two big coal plants per week, more than the rest of the planet combined. - India: coal fleet growing faster than renewables. 2024 CO₂ emissions (Mt): China alone: ~12,000 India: ~2,800 China + India: ~14,800 US + EU27 + Japan + Canada + UK + Australia combined: ~9,300 Two countries now emit 59% MORE than the entire developed West — and their curve is still pointing up. So while privileged doctors dance in air-conditioned UN halls flown in on jet fuel, the actual emissions growth is happening in Asia at wartime speed. Real doctors keep the lights on in operating rooms. Performative ones do TikTok routines at $2,000/night climate summits. Energy poverty kills 3–5 million people every single year. Air pollution kills fewer than that — and it’s already falling fast in the West. Which side are you on? Drop your take

Mexico is the home to an ancient and spectacular ceremony that still succeeds ... Danza de los Voladores (game of the fliers), a ceremonial ritual dance of Mexico, with deep spiritual significance originating from Veracruz, Mexico 🇲🇽 The tradition ultimately originating among pre-Columbian Totonac and Huastec Indians of the region now occupied by Veracruz and Puebla, where it is still danced and spread across Mexico and down as far as Nicaragua. While it is now most closely associated with Totonac peoples of Veracruz, in particular in Papantla, (hence once of its names), this intriguing danza was likely invention of Nahua, Huastecs and Otomi. The original significance of the Danza de los Voladores was, like many other Mesoamerican rituals, connected with fertility, corn, and the harvest. According to Totonac myth, the Danza de los Voladores originated as a way to appease the gods and end severe drought. This theory perhaps explains why the ritual is most closely associated with rain and solar gods such as Tlazotlteotl, Xipe and Totec, as well as notable solar events such as the Spring Equinox. The Danza de los Voladores has been significantly revived in recent years (albeit mainly for commercial purposes) and nowadays, it’s so important to the cultural heritage of Mexico that it was recognised by UNESCO in 2009. Typically, five men dressed in striking red and white outfits, bedecked with mirrored elements and rainbow headdresses representing sun and rainbows, respectively, shimmy up, as all men (voladores, or “flyers”) dance on a platform atop a pole, 30m high, before four of them proceed to tie themselves to the top of the pole with rope. The 5th member, known as Caporal, either plays the flute, bangs on a drum or sings at the top of pole. The 4 voladores (representative of the earth’s cardinal directions and elements) then launch themselves backwards from pole, beginning their elegant (but terrifying) descent towards the ground. While it may look rather ill-calculated, a total of 13 rotations are completed each totaling 52 and cleverly mirrors the years in the Aztec calendar’s ‘Century.’ At the end of the dance, they circle downward around the pole as the ropes that fasten them to it unwind. Although the modern-day performance is close to what the original iterations would have been like, there have undoubtedly been modifications throughout the years. While early versions began with the felling of a tree that would become the central pole (process known as tsakáe kiki), it’s now far more common to see permanent metal poles used instead. Furthermore, the ritual was once far more complex, involving meditation and the impersonation of birds, whereas in Nahua and Otomí cultures, there is no pre-pole climbing dance. Other iterations feature six voladores, rather than five. According to some scholars their costumes and music show Spanish influence, the dance itself survives almost exactly in its original form. The ancient agricultural fertility significance of the dance has disappeared, but there remains in the number of dancers 4 or 6, pre-Christian ritual orientation to the four points of the compass plus the zenith and the nadir. Nowadays, the Voladores de Papantla are a popular tourist attraction, with shows being performed regularly in tourist destinations across the country, such as Puerto Vallarta, Playa del Carmen, and Mexico City’s Chapultepec Park. However, there are plenty of other more off-the-beaten-path places to catch a glimpse of the famous ‘flyers, ’including at the annual Encuentro de Voladores at El Tajín, Veracruz, the historic centre de Papantla, Veracruz and Cuetzalán, Puebla. Alternatively, you can catch the Guatemalan take on Danza de los Voladores, which is known as Palo Volador in Joyabaj, Chichicastenango or Cubulco on specific days of the year. 🎥© TheGlobeWonderer (IG) #archaeohistories
