您是否喜歡看人跳舞？我還蠻喜歡看人跳舞的，首先，跳舞的舞者，大多肌肉緊實，沒有太多贅肉，肌肉線條優美，舞者們看起來就很賞心悅目，舞蹈動作時而優雅、時而狂放，配合音樂的節奏，形成一種流暢並帶有韻律感的美，而舞蹈與音樂是分不開的，彼此是相輔相成的，特別是快節奏的舞曲，讓人有種莫名的衝勁，也想下場手舞足蹈一番。
雖然我不太喜歡韓國流行音樂（K-POP Music），但是像是BLACKPINK、BTS等知名偶像團體的歌曲在全球，已經是一股無法抗拒的新勢力，也獲著全球許多年輕人的追捧，近幾年，也伸出 K-POP Cover Dance 這樣的事物，一開始，這事物，我還是在 YouTube 上看到的，主要是模仿偶像團體的音樂錄影帶中的每個舞蹈動作、眼神表情，有些還拍成音樂錄影帶上傳到影音平台，和同好們分享，而這些 Cover 舞團，聽說大多是，成員們在學生時期創立，所以，算是青少年次文化的一種。
在 YouTube 上看到的 Cover 舞團表演，多選在熱門景點，舞團成員多會打扮時尚入時，拍攝上，多是一鏡到底，這次碰上的拍攝場景，在信義區的行人徒步區，是台北最熱鬧的地區之一，現場並沒有工作人員封場，很多來往路人們，像是我，就停下來圍觀看看發生了甚麼事，因為，這樣的情況不是每天到遇的到的，年輕的舞者，也真的打扮得很時髦，真的是男帥女美，他們隨著快節奏的音樂旋律，搖擺身體，看起來頗為專業的，而前方的攝影師，用於拍攝的設備當然不是隨手可得的手機，看起來就是要價不斐的專業攝影機，攝影鏡頭時而遠、時而近，追蹤舞者的動作及表情。
人家說，台上三分鐘，台下十年功，我想，普通人光是記牢舞蹈動作及走位等，可能就要花個幾十個小時吧，還要把那些舞步練到順暢及自然，然後，才能到正式拍攝，最後，這些努力應該是無法換成等價的金錢， 我猜想，那些年輕人應該是憑著愛及成就感在支撐的吧，難怪，現實中會玩這些的，大多是些擁有夢想的年輕人，像我的話，只想回家躺平休息，我猜，大部分的人，出社會後，慢慢地，理想就會被現實磨光殆盡，不過，能看看年輕人在追逐夢想，還是不錯的。
Do you enjoy watching people dance? I really enjoy it! First of all, dancers usually have toned muscles without much extra fat, and their muscle lines are just beautiful. They look so pleasing to the eye. The dance movements are sometimes graceful, sometimes wild, and they flow with the rhythm of the music, creating a kind of smooth, rhythmic beauty. Dance and music are inseparable, complementing each other. Especially with fast-paced dance tracks, they give you this rush of energy, making you want to jump in and dance along.
Although I’m not particularly into K-Pop music, groups like BLACKPINK and BTS have become an unstoppable force worldwide, and they’re adored by many young people across the globe. In recent years, the phenomenon of K-Pop Cover Dance has emerged. I first came across it on YouTube. It’s mainly about mimicking every dance move, expression, and even the facial expressions from the idols’ music videos. Some groups even shoot their own music video-style covers and share them on video platforms, connecting with fellow fans. These cover dance groups are usually formed by students, so it’s kind of a subculture among young people.
The cover dance performances I’ve seen on YouTube often take place at popular spots, with the dancers dressed fashionably. The filming is usually done in a single take. This time, the shoot was happening in the pedestrian area of Xinyi District. There were no staff blocking off the area, so many passersby, like me, stopped to watch. It’s not something you see every day. The young dancers were really dressed up, looking stylish and attractive. With the fast-paced music playing, they moved their bodies, and it all looked pretty professional. The cameraman in front of them wasn’t just using a phone; it was a professional-looking camera, definitely not cheap. The camera was zooming in and out, following the dancers’ movements and expressions.
People say it takes ten years of practice to perform for three minutes on stage. I imagine that for ordinary people, just memorizing the dance moves and positions could take dozens of hours, not to mention practicing the steps until they’re smooth and natural before finally filming. The effort probably doesn’t translate into much money. Those young people are probably driven by passion and a sense of accomplishment. No wonder the ones doing this are dream-chasing young people. As for me, I just want to go home and relax. I guess most people, once they start working, gradually see their dreams worn away by reality. But watching young people chase their dreams is still pretty nice.
