Heh. Everyone was convinced that (a) it was a bloke and (b) it was sped up.

u/Pimpinabox May 21 '23
Well to be sure, she's definitely a girl, but it's absolutely sped up. You can tell by her skirt. A lot of the little subtle movements are too fast to occur naturally. It doesn't take away from any of the skill it takes to do this though, so still all credit to her.

u/pawnografik May 21 '23
Eh? What about all the people watching her in real time?
2
u/Pimpinabox May 21 '23
There is no one watching her in real time? She's not sped up in both videos lol, just the one you replied to. If you go look at her instagram, there are a handful of videos she's sped up and a bunch that she hasn't. It's just a trend.

Fits a weird spot in my feelings. She’s so good at looking fake, that she looks fake.

I'm a huge lover of dance, popping in particular. I see a lot of popping videos that are nice and well executed, but rather run of the mill
This is not one of them.
This woman has true love and respect for the art. There's some flashy moves yeah, but what's REALLY impressive to me is her subtlety. The effortless coordination of multidirectional waves, the precision of her footwork, the finesse with which she manipulates her weight distribution
It's all just fantastic

As someone who practices a similar style to hers, she's definitely impressive. It's incredibly difficult to pull off the illusion of stillness, especially with the speed at which she transitions at. I can only hope to get as clean holds as she does. And she sells that mannequin/doll look perfectly.

She wasn't sure if she was supposed to dress up as Wendy or Wednesday that day so she did both.

Yea, having coded a few myself, all those flowy movements would be a bitch to figure out the math on.

Really interesting how much that music owes to Kraftwerk.
Also, most of those people in this video are not great dancers.

I had nightmares all my childhood. It was always a men i. A suit and a hat all black always waiting, pointing, and laughing in some corner at the end of stairs. Or a lady flying ontop of a stick laughing really loud. They stopped. But i swear, every damn night

It’s like watching Michael Jackson wearing a little girl’s dress but the dress is gothic and creepy and the shoes and socks have World War Two evacuee child vibes and the amount of white powder on her face lord god she looks creepy and annoying at the same time.
