-Chanyoung Kim, Hip-hop dancer

It looks like he takes all the energy out of his body. I guess Hip-hop dance must be one of the dynamic dances of all the dance genre.

With over an 8 year career of hip-hop dancer as of 2020, Chanyoung shows awesome dance performance during the photo shoot. His dance is so full of energy and looks cool that it draws immediate attention of people. His dance movement shows me that he genuinely enjoys his dance, which I can read from his body and on his face. Not to mention a good physical condition and a wonderful expressive power.

Chanyoung started hip-hop dance while he was into hip-hop music of 1980s and 90s. “What is hip-hop dance?” I asked.

“There’s no fixed rule in hip-hop dance these days. One of the attractive points of hip-hop dance is that we don’t need to stick to one narrow rule and we can express our dance on our own way.” He also added, “Personally I think hip-hop dance looks cool.” I believe that It means Hip-hop dancers express their dances and themselves in a fabulous way.

“In my early twenties, I fell into a slump for a while. After that, I met a team called ‘Treybeatz’. Our team won the first place in 2018 Hip-Hop Battle in Seoul.” He also stressed that if people want to learn hip-hop dance, they need to learn basic skills from the start. 

“Young people tend to go to Seoul for their dance career. I hope that there are more hip-hop dancers in Busan and enjoy together.”
