A strange girl doing headbanging....
Is it a ritual...? to end this Covid 19...?
Nope, it's not just a headbanging!
This is the belly dance~!
Adult (?) vibe coming out from a small body
Yasmin: Look at her eyes, they are flaming
Even won the first place in adult & youth contest
yall ready to meet this 10-year-old belly dance whiz kid?!
I'm Gayoung Park, 10 years old. I wanna let the world know the charm of belly dance
Belly dance (a.k.a Shaking belly fat dance)
Powerful enough to shake the intestine
And an elementary schooler does this?
yes, I know how to belly dance ;)
Let's go!
shake shake
Easy to reach the step counter limit
Pelvic dislocation warning!
You sure you're not wearing the belt massaging machine!?
Coach: She knows the basic very clearly
she can divide the power and the muscles
and that makes her poses perfect
Belly dance requires every single muscle's movement
So it's very tough
She expresses her own rhythm and it flows like water
She also can understand the music and
make her own dance
Just start any music!
I'll show you what belly dance is!
DALLA DALLA -ITZY
(be careful)
K-pop and Gayoung's dance collaboration
This is the result of 1 day self-creation!
DDA-DDA-LA-DDA-LA
Hello - Jaehyan Kim Even ballad can be expressed with belly dance!
With soft waves, she expresses sadness
How can a 10-year-old girl express diverse vibes?!
When I read the lyrics,
I feel like it's desperate to hold on to someone
I can feel the pain of the singer
Do you know what love is?
I don't know much about it but
I know how to belly dance
You're right
awards and trophies prove it!
Countless
Pd, we need the wide-angle lens
I used to dance randomly when I was younger because I liked dancing
but after seeing my cousin doing belly dance,
it was beautiful and made me happy
It feels like I'm having the whole world
adorable She started when she was 5
and as she continued,
she acquired the teaching certificate when 8!!!!
Gayoung teacher... (She acquired the teaching certificate, too!)
I wanna be the coolest belly dance teacher
I'm gonna study more and practice more
Gonna do my best
Her dream is blooming!
As usual,
she's watching belly dance video to study
but
she doesn't seem happy
because
she reads haters' comments
When I read them, I'm not mad but sad
because it's not like what they think...
Mother: When she started it
not a lot of ppl knew about belly dance
and we realized some ppl see it negatively
and when there's a performance, ppl go like "What is that"
and think it's too sensual
Girl who loves dancing
But the world sees her passion negatively
For her, production crew prepared a secret gift!~
Korea's belly dance queen, Yasmin!!
17 years of experience! The Queen of Belly Dance
What advice can you give to Gayoung as a senior?
Yasmin: Looking at the performance and the culture,
people say it's too seductive or sensual.
but I wanted to break that prejudice
not only me, but also many Korean teachers are working hard to break it
Just like ballet, belly dance requires immense amount of practice and skills
and also you need to study a lot
The charm of belly dance that many weren't aware of
it's slowly gaining more attention as the gender-less dance
It's a very skillful dance
We'll have to work hard so that it can be seen as
a good sports for all that keeps ppl healthy
The most important thing is!
Gayoung's passion
Why do you like belly dance?
Why do you wanna do belly dance?
I get excited when dancing
and happy, too? -yeah
It even weakens depressing emotion
Your energy will become a positive influence to people
and as a cool dancer, you will be able to perform a good dance
You can do it!~!
As I'm not alone in my journey,
I don't stop but keep walking
Belly dance is a joy
I wish people can be happy watching belly dance
We root for your dream <3
