[yunhosarang]

Hip Hop dancer here! Though...I'm not sure if I would refer to myself as one anymore.

 

It's been quite a long time since I danced... :(

[kawaiiderpz]

I would say the next Taeyang in kpop would be definitely INFINITE's Hoya(that kid can dance and is a serious triple threat.) Can you make a poll to vote for the best dancers in kpop. Hoya has Taeyang's strong point (connection) and so much more. Given more time, I say Hoya can go up to the level of Taeyang, Rain, Jay Park.  Idk if he can beat Rain though.

You missed Street Jazz

[FuyukaiDesu]

how do you tell if someone is really a good dancer? 

can members of pop groups who execute choreography well be considered "good dancers" 

[A Boy Like Troy]

Someone who's a good dancer would be based on technique, emotion, sharpness, attitude, etc.

 

It depends on how they look.

[yournoona]

im still a terrible dancer that's all i can say even after dancing for 4 years. lol. im more of a street jazz/funk jazz dancer. interested in lyrical hip hop. im really open to any genre, even folk dances. imo, folk or traditional dances are one of most difficult dances lol, i've been actually dancing since i was a kid, but i took it very seriously in 2009. i also joined 2 dance teams in the past,but they are disbanded and now a member of a kpop dance group.

im pretty well experienced on the stages (not a well experienced dancer though haha). been on the stages for more than 30 times already (because i've been in my current dancing team for more than 2 years plus performed few times with former groups) yet still suck at dancing haha
