What's going on guys, joseph here with my two homeys.

Guest

Hello. I'm Aiden Amen.

Guest

Today we're at Comic Con. We're gonna be doing some stuff with C. C. Um At like 2 30 we're gonna do like a three C. One S live version and then we're gonna do a class I'm gonna be teaching. And yeah I was hoping to have a lot of fun here. I think my favorite group to work with thus far has been in hype in uh mainly because they do a lot of my choreography really well and they don't like to hold back. So they tell me to like create as if I'm creating for myself and so it's always fun to see them do what I give them to a very high level in terms of creating for K. Pop artists. Um The process goes they hit me up and um they say hey we have this track, we have these artists we want you to choreograph for and in doing so I send them a video submission with my dancers. Like these guys are in my submissions. Um And yeah we send off the choreography to them, They learn it and then sometimes they give us feedback revision, send another version and then we wait and see what they do with the final version. Um It's a very collaborative process in which I forgot for and then they also have their own performance director for as well. So it's a very cool like mix of styles and movements that really complements the dancers and the artists like um skills and strength BTS. Um I just really love those guys. I taught them for their Megan stallion remix to butter. Um And working with them was a really fun experience. I honestly didn't think that was gonna happen when I went to Korea. Um it was kind of out of the blue project but in doing so I was able to kind of give them something different that they hadn't done before or like did prior to when they're in their earlier days. Um A lot of choreography back when they first started off was very like difficult, very hard hitting. Um and now it's a little bit different so it's cool to give them something that was a mixture of like what they're currently doing than what they're, what they used to do as well. Um Yeah, I just really enjoyed my time with them. They're all like super cool dudes to like Yeah.

Alright. My favorite thing about being around this cake on atmosphere is I just love seeing people excited for anything that they love like in general. And so to see people here like seeing their idols and seeing um dancers and choreographers that they wanted to me like it's a very like special thing. Um don't do that. Um But yeah, I just love seeing people excited for what they, what they love. And so that's been my favorite thing while being here. Honestly, I bought this jacket like a month ago and I was like, oh snap, I could wear for K con and then this is probably just like anything else I would normally wear.

Guest

Uh Okay, well once again I really like dancing with the hype in while I was in Korea. I got to teach them like personally like just my own choreography and the pickup was crazy and like the vibe was crazy. So I would love to dance with them again. I would love to have BTS come in our studio. I actually back up dancer BTS before and oh yeah, I might have been doing your choreography but I was dancing to butter and I was dressed up as a piece of toast. I was actually first waffles and then they demoted me to toast but it's cool. I rocked it right, it was a James corden performance. But yeah, those guys are insanely talented, so hard working and they're dancing.
