Complex dance choreography is always something worth noting, but something as intricate and highly aware of itself such as the Koren based dance group Prepix's "360 Degrees Dance" is far beyond that. Posted on YouTube just a little over a year ago, the 135,782 views that this performance has earned is nowhere near adequate of the praise that it deserves. The choreography here can easily be described as genius or even innovative. Each step taken and every movement made speaks volumes of unparalleled performance.
What is most notable about this performance can be found right in the title. Imaginative lead choreographer, Haw, properly demonstrates his command for a vividly astounding dance vocabulary complete with fundamentals and Prepix's own unique style. Taking the art of dance away from its live performance presentation of a one point perspective, Haw uses both cinematography and the open space area to his advantage to stage a full 360 degree performance. A dance built around a concept as such really helps to push the boundaries of the art form. Crew members WaSsup, iLL, Soo, Joony, Haw, and Yun all approach center stage with buttery-smooth technique respectively to present Prepix's style of dancing all while complementing Jazmine Sullivan's sultry voice.
Prepix's combination of musicality, solos, liquid movements, and blended transitions are often imitated, but it's safe to say that no one performs quite as well as they do when it comes to standing out like this.
